Note 761 — Chapter VIII · THE IDEA OF THE SOUL

Joseph Ward Swain translation

For example, among the peoples on the Pennefather River (Roth, ibid., § 68), there is a name for the soul residing in the heart (Ngai), another for the one in the placenta (Cho-i), and a third for the one which is confounded with the breath (Wanji). Among the Euahlayi, there are three or even four souls (Parker, The Euahlayi, p. 35).
