A List of Tribes

We were asked to keep a list of the different tribes Gertrude Bell mentions in her writings.

Here goes:

'Adwan
Abadeh
*Anazeh
Belka
Beni Sakhr
Da'ja
Druzes
*Ghassanid
*Ghawarny
Hassaniyyeh
Shammar
Sherarat
Sukkur

*These may or may not be tribes. Given the way in which Bell discusses them, I'm assuming they were (are), but only further reading or some proactive research will provide a clearer answer.
