The Halunemni lineage traces its descent through Haluma Sopori, Nemnu's biological daughter with her husband Visku. (The lineage name draws from Haluma's name, but also from Ombesh haluli 'to purify'). The Sopori never forgot this claim, despite years apart from life at Nemnosti, during which they were mostly living in northern Khutu. Finally, in 638, Lovos Sopori, a son of the Sopori hengi at the time, declared himself to be the head of the Halunemni, and his descendants, as well as some of the Sopori who supported him, joined his new ifti.
There have been only three hengge over the more than a century since the lineage was founded:
- Lovos (609-688, r. 638-688)
- Maigarinda (659-750, r. 688-750), granddaughter of Lovos
- Kufun (717-, r. 750-), grandson of Maigarinda
During the reign of Maigarinda "Huntress", she moved several of her clan members to Naftusa and built an iftibal there, and her grandson Kufun, the current hengi, makes his home there still. More recently, Kufun's daughter has been appointed as an acolyte at Nemnosti, marking the first time that one of the Halunemni has spent significant time there. Nevertheless, there is still tension between the Halunemni and the Nemni, who they sometimes disparagingly call 'ospers' (after the name taken by their hengge).
