Tribe
Khugiani (Karlanri)
خوګیاني
The Khugiani of Nangarhar live on the Safed Koh slopes around Gandamak and in Kunar, with some at Kandahar. The Khulasat al-Ansab traces them to Khoghi, son of Kodai, and lists his khels as Abd-ur-Rahman, Shirzad, Mandozai, Kharbari, Turi and Zazi. Bellew gives three divisions, Wazir (Laili), Kharbun and Sherzad.
Where the sources disagree
Bellew and Longworth Dames place the Khugiani under Kakai, and Ibbetson calls their ancestor Khugiani son of Kakai. Rose reports that the Nangarhar Khugiani themselves claim Durrani origin, a claim the Durrani admit.
