Holy Spirit
CRITICAL: pobitro atma must always be used in full. Bare atma or bonga names one spirit among the many village, ancestor, and nature spirits recognized in Sarnaism and addressed through jaher ritual; the personal, singular, indwelling Holy Spirit of Romans 8 must be sharply distinguished from that populated spirit-world, and from bhut, a distinct and feared category of restless or malevolent ghost-spirit.
