Kabashi
The Kabashi (the definite form of Kabash) are an Albanian tribe, or fis, from the Pukë region.[1] It is considered part of the "seven tribes of Puka" (Albanian: shtatë bajrakët e Pukës) that inhabit the region.[2] Durham said of them: "Puka group ... sometimes reckoned a large tribe of seven bairaks. Sometimes as a group of tribes". There are many toponyms and names that traces their origin to the fis (tribe). Toponyms include the Kabashi Mountains chain in Kosovo and Kabash in the Vitina municipality of southeast Kosovo.
