Masinissas ,the name of Gulusssa's father is also a rendering in this in the Samskrit language spoken
once in India ,as Maha-Sing-Nihsaha ,that means approximately the same as Big-Hor(n)-Woe ,
from what the name Bikoru might have been formed in the kingdom of Bornu ,for him .

Kalkus ,who may be named for and descended from Al-Lek-Ke-Ha ,one of the sons of the ancient Asha-Leha ,
after whom the capital of Tibet,Lhasa might be named ,the ancestor of some Tashelhit or Shluh peoples
of Morocco .
There might have been Karkhédónians among them too ,founding colonies all along the African coasts .

Shenwa and Snus tribes .

as I(w)u-Gurratsha .

and Yu tribes of the Bok alliance .
