Reer Aymeed

The Reer Aymeed subclans of Bah Nugaaleed are distinguished by their tendency of usage of boqor and suldaan for clan chieftains; they include the Hayaag whom settle in Ceegaag, the non-Dudub Khalid subclans of bah Nugaaleed whom settle in Sooljoogto, and the Yaxye in Goljano and Qayder.^[10] Among other Dhulbahante clans, warriors from the Baho Nugaaleed segments of the Dhulbahante were constituents of the large and prestigious Shiikhyaale division of the Dervish Movement. The Hassan Ugaas and Qayaad which constitute the two largest sub-clans of the major Dhulbahante division of Baho Nugaaleed made their name as one of the most ardent fighters for the movement. Western colonial figures such as Eric Swayne likewise commented on the ardent nature in support of the Dervishes by the Baho Nugaaleed Dhulbahante, spelling the Qayaad clan as "kayat":^[11]

The Yaxye or Yahye sub-clan of Baho Nugaaleed constituted one of the four constituents of Golaweyne. Bohol Warabe, which was traditionally a Hamud Ugaas town, hosted a base for the Burcadde-godwein subdivision of Dervishes. The Muuse subclans of Baho Nugaaleed which include Ebirar and others is where the founders of the Salixiya sect among Somalis hails from, including figures such as Ali Nayroobi and Sheikh Ismail Ishaaq Urwayni and others. This spiritual backdrop would later form the basis of the Maxkamadaha Darawiishta (Dervish legal courts) in 1895 and the hundreds of muqaddims learnt in its ways. ^[12]

Reer Oodeed

The Reer Oodeed are the Baho Nugaaleed Dhulbahante subclans who are based in intersecting territories of the central Ciid region. These include Qayaad and the Dudub subclans of Khalid, the Ebirar and Tuuryar whom once jointly proposed a stipend during the Somali British Military Administration. Their modern traditional clan chief is Ali Burale.^[13] British generals glorified and hailed the decimation and carnage inflicted upon the Reer Oodeed, specifically, the Qayaad clan by the British colonial army on account of them being Dervishes, with Qayaad spelled as Kayat:^[11]

It is a fortunate thing that the Kayat tribe, which most strongly supported him, appears to have suffered the severest losses.

The Qayaad were also implicated in an attack on a barracks commanded by British general Malcolm Mcneill and were among 600 casualties laying in its surroundings:^[14]

he could not have lost less than 600 men killed and wounded. It was also clear that the Kayat, Adan Madoba, Rer Hagar, Ali Gheri, Jama Siad, Nur Ahmed, and Mijjarten tribes were all implicated in the attack on the zariba, as was evidenced by the bodies of men actually shot, and by wounded men

Ugaasyo

According to I.M Lewis, the Baho Nugaaleed subclans suffixed with Ugaas, namely Hassan Ugaas, Hussein Ugaas, Mohamud Ugaas and Hamoud Ugaas traditionally formed a political confederation called Bah Ugaas, colloquially referred to as Ugaasyo, and they traditionally inhabit the easternmost parts of Ciid:^[15]

and Husseen Ugaas (E8) lineages (of which the first is the strongest) are joined in a loose political alliance, putatively on a uterine basis, as the Bah Ugaas and opposed as a unit to each of their more powerful collaterals

The Hussein Ugaas Shirshore clan was hosting many of the battles of the second expedition, which partially occurred in their previous homelands in the southeastern Ciid region, contemporarily called the Geland district. However, Hussein Ugaas Shirshore clan members largely migrated to Waamo and Jubaland in the wake of the Eric Swayne expedition espoused by James Hayes Sadler. According to the British War Office, the Hassan Ugaas was one of the clans exiled towards Illig (Eyl) on account of them being Darawiish during Eric Swayne's second expedition:

and Moving vid Kallis, the column attacked the Nur Ahmed and Hassan Ugaz tribes at Hareyelahu, and drove them in the direction of Illig, capturing 41 ponies
