metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article is devoted to one of the most interesting problem in African studies — the system of dyamu,
  clan names. The purpose of this article is a description of the system and its origin, dyamu based on
  how it is understood by the carriers themselves — representatives of the peoples of the Manding. The
  researches were based both on folklore sources, and on materials of expeditions to Guinea 1999 and
  2014. The article presents the collected information about dyamu of Guinea (Siguiri district), their
  marriage prohibitions and preferences, names and legends of dyamu clans ancestors-founders, totems,
  as well as their senanku (families with whom the representatives of the dyamu clan is in ‘the joking
  relationship’). The dyamu system of castes division has appeared for the organization of relationships
  of the maden people, as well as joined to them Susu, Soninke and Fulani families in the Mali Empire.
  The Manden families occupied the higher positions in the hierarchy in according to their contribution
  to the victory and the establishment of the Empire of Mali. Dyamu names themselves are perceived as
  laudatory names and their main origin stories are recorded in the epic of Sundyate. Refs. 17.
