The letter following each name indicates the countries or regions where they were found:

·      M   Morocco

·      O   Orania (Northern Cape) South Africa

·      A   Algiers

·      S   Southern Algeria

·      C  Constantine (Algeria)

·      T   Tunisia

·      L   Libya

“The first list was almost certainly from Berber origin; the second list is partially or possibly Berber.”
