The [[Mangur (Kurdish tribe)|Mangur]] clan of the, Culturally, [[Mokri (surname)|Mokri]] tribal confederation and, politically, [[Bolbas Federation]]<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Minorsky |first1=V. |title=Mongol Place-Names in Mukri Kurdistan |journal=Mongolica |date=1957 |volume=19 |issue=1 |page=75 |jstor=609632 }}</ref> is an enatic clan, meaning members of the clan can only inherit their mothers last name and are considered to be a part of the mothers family. The entire Mokri tribe may have also practiced this form of enaticy before the collapse of their emirate and its direct rule from the Iranian or Ottoman state, or perhaps the tradition started because of depopulation in the area due to raids.<ref>{{cite book|author=Abdurrahman Sharafkandi|title=Çêştî Micêvir}}</ref>
