_Tribal Castes_: Bhatra, Halba, Dhoba.

The Gonds and Khonds call themselves Koi or Koitur, a word which seems to mean man or hillman.

The Oraon tribe call themselves Kurukh, which has also been supposed to be connected with the Kolarian _horo_, man.

The name Oraon, given to them by the Hindus, may mean farmservant, while Dhangar, an alternative name for the tribe, has certainly this signification.
There seems good reason to suppose that the Gonds and Khonds were originally one tribe divided through migration.

[72] The Kolams are a small tribe of the Wardha Valley, whose dialect resembles those of the Gonds and Khonds.
