Surma fratry of Udmurts,of which Ozhmeg chief originated ,may be related to Surma or Suri-Mekan people in Africa too .
Ozhmeg himself may be identical Ur-Uzmaeg of Alanian princes descending from Uarhag likely identical with Vagharshak,that is Walga-Arshak,likely son of Artaban Arsakan .
For some reason thus,his clan was called Surma ,and he himself founded another clan called Pupya . So,Surma people in Africa are related to Murdhu ,perhaps Murt-De-U ,who may be of Udmurt and partly of Mordva origin. Peoples speaking similar langauges in general could be considered as successors of Mamluk kings of Aigypt and of their peoples,who might have not very long ago moved there and then downwards along Nile to places in Uganda,Kenya and elsewhere they are located now .
Mamluk kings themselves were allegedly Cherkes ,or - in my opinion - Kist origin ,successors of the founders of Erzya kingdoms and others in the region of Volga,mostly pre-inhabited by Finno-Ugrian peoples .
There might have been among them different Turks,Lendzins,Kara-Modyors ( Black Hungarians ) and Kuns or Kumans,who may be represented in Africa in the persons of Turkana,Kalenjin,Karamoja and Kumama men.
