Note 769 — Chapter VIII · THE IDEA OF THE SOUL

Joseph Ward Swain translation

Among the Arunta and Loritja, for example (Strehlow, I, p. 15, n. 2; II, p. 77). During life, the soul is called gumna, and ltana after death. The ltana of Strehlow is identical with the ulthana of Spencer and Gillen (Nat. Tr., pp. 514 ff.). The same is true of the tribes on the Bloomfield River (Roth, Superstition, etc., §66).
