najd bedouin society trad (and to a large extent still today) based on extended family and nested kin groups: extended family -> ashira (kinship group w/common ancestor) -> sub-tribe -> tribe. some members actually kith not kin, but point is, this is not a universalistic society.pic.twitter.com/hgp00aTCqR

najd bedouin tribes owned/controlled pasture land and oases as a (really big!) family collective and mutal aid in times of crises organized along tribal lines. najd bedouin arab society was (is) very viscous.pic.twitter.com/JxUEuYNhBN

(~_^) viscous here meaning individuals in the population not dispersing very widely, i.e. sticking around their kin/relations (even marrying them!).

I thought you’d misspelled vicious and was moving in for the kill. Foiled again...

i do often mistype vicious for viscous and vice versa. i'd like to blame auto-suggest for those errors, but it's usually just me gettin' it wrong. (*^_^*)
