The office of sub-chiefs is traced to Fonyonga I who is reported to have bestowed the hereditary title to leaders of the contingents that made up his army during their migration to present-day Bali. Kaberry and Chilver (1961) suggest that a total of five sub-chiefs were first bestowed and are known as Fontə̀’ Bà’nì (see Kaberry & Chilver 1961:361). They included:

Fò-Bunjeŋ, (Buti),
Fò-Kembàn (Buti),
Fo-Tikalì (Tikalì),
Fò-Tì or Bângɨ, and
Fò-Gàkɔ̀’ of Peli (Bali-Kɔ’ntan)
Others have contested the accuracy of placing Fò-Gàkɔ̀’ in this category, an issue that will not be dealt with in this short piece (see Ndangam 2014:82 for details). What is noteworthy is that there are two categories of sub-chiefs in the Bali kingdom, the first known as Fontə̌’ Bà’nì and the second, Fontə̀’ BǎNtən (Lolo). The sub-chiefs included in the Lolo category represent the contingent that pledged fealty to Fonyonga I during the Chamba sojourn in the Bamum area in the mid 19th century. For these contingents, joining ranks with the powerful Chamba seemed the best path for them to escape Mbombo’s expansionist inclination in the Bamum region. The following Fontə̀’ represent the groups that make up the Lolo category:

Fò-Kundèm,
Fò-Ŋgìam,
Fò-Saŋgàm,
Fò-Sèd,
Fò-Wòn,
Fò-Ŋgɔ̀d,
Fò-Sàŋ,
Fò-Fɨlɨ̀ŋ, and
Fò-Munyam
Historically, sub-chiefs assisted the king in administering their wards/villages and played leading roles in the traditional council. Finally, their positions are hereditary although the king may intervene especially in situations of succession disputes.
