The population is somewhat thickly scattered; there are at least twenty villages between the district of Stuka and Wadnoun.

Shtouka, or Stuka, is, according to some, a large town or village; or, as stated by Davidson, a district.

"There is no town called Stuka; it is a district; none that I can find called Talent; there is Tilin.

The Mesah flows through Stuka, in which district are twenty settlements, or rather towns, some of which are large.
