It's the Ilokano term for the Christian soul. 2. The karkarma, or second soul, can leave when frightened or stolen if one ventures to isolated areas. Failure to return can lead to insanity, with ceremonies held to lure it back. 3. The aniwaas (aningaas or alingaas), or third soul, leaves during sleep to visit familiar places. 4. The ar-aria, or fourth soul, is the liberated soul of the dead, visiting relatives and friends. Ang magshishare sa ibang section, babagsak :P
