الْقَبَائِلُ the tribes

This is the irregular ('broken') plural of 'tribe', where Arabic reshapes the whole word to make it plural instead of just adding an ending. It is the doer of 'began', and Arabic treats such non-human plurals as feminine singular, which is why the verb took the '-at' ending.
