Foundation Colour Strains
الأتياب الأساسية
The foundation colour strains. In the author's view every Safi colour descends from crossing three foundation houses: the Bunaidi (source of the white body and the white iris), the Ezazi (source of the blue and grey neck bands in their many shades), and the Sarbiya (source of the yellow neck band in its many shades). The Hagari is counted alongside them.
