CHEHAR ’AMAQ (Khorasan)—
The name given to the nomad tribes of the Herat district. _ _
Originally the Chehar ’Amaq tribes were four, t'.e., Jamshidi, Firuz
Kuhi Taimdw, and Timuri; but at present at least six tribes are included
in the above designation, i.e., Hazara and Qipchaq, in addition to the four
first mentioned. _ # j * *
The maiority of these people live in black goat s-hair tents, ana trust
chiefly to their flocks and herds for their livelihood. Both in Afghanistan
and Persia, however, some portion of the tribes are settled. ^
The most usual plan is to have a qisfildq or settled winter residence,
while in the summer they wander about and visit their ydildq or summer
quarters in search of pasture for their flocks.
