Spirit (of a person roaming abroad while its owner is asleep and dreaming); certain demons.
If one discovers a bruise on one’s body and does not know where one got it, one says that a bābal sucked blood there. It wanted to taste if the person is about to die or not. If one dreams that one is eating and there is a body laid out somewhere it means that one’s bābal went there and ate of the body.
If there is a dead person, spirits go there.
When someone is sick the spirit adds to it making him sicker.
