Where's this from? My source - Hollis' The Nandi (see that article for biblio details) - gives an almost entirely different list:

Kipsegun, 1st Nandi Orkoiyot
Ar-ap-Kipsegun (Kipsegun's son) and Kopokoii (dual administration until the former was ousted), 2nd Nandi Orkoiyot
Turukat (son of Kopokoii), 3rd Nandi Orkoiyot
Kimnyole (son of Turukat), 4th Nandi Orkoiyot, killed by the Nandi in 1890
Koitalel or Samwei (son of Kimnyole), 5th Nandi Orkoiyot, killed by "our forces" (ie British) 1905.
Kipeles or Tamasun (also son of Kimnyole), 6th and present (ie 1909) Nandi Orkoiyot.

It further observes:

The position of Orkoiyot is a hereditary one. The medicine men are descended from the Segela Masai, and belong to the Talai clan, whose totem is a lion.

I would add this stuff, but I'm not sure how to reconcile it, or how reliable the source for the current list is. - Mustafaa 06:58, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The table I (Mustafaa 19:32, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)) just replaced was:
