Population

The number of the local population was reliably entered into statistical registers only after they had shifted to a sedentary life. Thus, both in 1908 and in 1914, 225 inhabitants were registered in the newly-founded village. In contrast to that, during their nomadic life, the same people were counted for many times, as a result of which their number was highly exaggerated: for instance, in 1886 62 houses were recorded with 390 inhabitants, including 220 males and 170 females.
