Gunduz-lu
A
branch of the Turkish tribe of Afshar to whom a large part of ‘Arabistan once
belonged. The Gunduz-Lu was the only division of the Afshar tribe who returned
to their own country, after being transported thence to the north of Persia.
Many Arab families have joined them. They have among them a considerable number
of expert horsemen, and in the time of Muhammad Taqi were very useful in
encounters with the Arabs. Until recently they spoke a Turkey dialect. They
inhabit Bulaiti on the river Gargar.― (Layard―Bell―Foreign
