umāgad
The spirit or soul of men; the non-physical counterpart of the physical body (whether living or dead).
It is said that it can wander during sleep or be taken by evil spirits. If the umāgad has left or has been taken by a spirit seyitan a specialist tabib has to call it back. If it left on its own accord it may return by itself. The person is terribly frightened while it is gone.
Bang ku ngite “balaksert” tahala' umāgadkun.
When I see ‘black shirts’ (outlaws) my spirit leaves. (meaning I am very afraid.)
