They carry less weight than the Aït Khebbach in their khoms: around 1930, 640 families of the Rteb were already under the Makhzen, according to Spillmann. The Aït Yahya ou Moussa of the oued Hsiya, nomads and renowned fighters, are close to the Aït Khebbach and carried one of the banners of the Aït Ounebgui. In 1933, Aït Yahya ou Moussa were among the families who took refuge in the Saghro, and Qaid ʿAli counts the Aït Oumnasf in the core of the defenders (Hart, p. 180).
