On Clans names, may I suggest, you look at the Files section of:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JatHistory/

 And see the Files Jat Clans: Jat Clan names in various countries "

 I have posted about six of seven files.

 I would like your input.


"I don't think we know any Gothic clan names apart from the Amals and
Balths. "


 I can see" Amal" coming from "Mal'. In the Iranian context, the `A'
is often added.
We do find variants of  ` Mal' as Mal, Mull, Malhi. Malli."

 Balths -. Could also be `Bal' with the suffix `th"

 Bal is a very famous and large clan; spread all over the North,
including what is now Pakistan and Afghanistan.

 Variants of it are Bal, Baliyan.

See for example; http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JatHistory/message/141


Dirk, I am running into all this material, and I cannot simply
dismiss it out of hand.
