The Reconquest
About the The Battle of theNavas de Toloso.
Era una obligación para los gobernantes andalusíes acudir a la batalla. Sobre ellos recaía el peso de línea jerárquica de mando para dirigir a las diferentes ***cabilas***, grupos de guerreros que se dispusiesen a su servicio.
Not finding this. Is it a misprint or just something I'm not researching very well? As always, thanks for your help. :~)

Kabila
The reference supplied by AVRVM doesn't work, and even if you add in the missing 'w', it doesn't take you anywhere;
Bedu live in extended families made up of paternal cousins. A group of families who are related to each other make up a fakhadh (literally, "thigh"), which means a clan "of the same root" or "part of the whole." A group of fakhadhs constitutes a tribe, called a ***kabila*** or ashira, though these words may also refer to subsections of a larger tribe. Tribes vary widely in size and are constantly changing through marriage or territorial needs for grazing. A small tribe that has to move into the territory of a larger tribe to feed its herds may become absorbed by the larger tribe. Later, if the original small tribe has gained enough members and/or wealth, it may strike out on its own again.
