NishMa

In Mandaeism, the nishimta (Classical Mandaic: ࡍࡉࡔࡉࡌࡕࡀ nišimta; plural: nišmata) or nishma (Classical Mandaic: ࡍࡉࡔࡌࡀ nišma) is the human soul. It is can also be considered as equivalent to the "psyche" or "ego". It is distinct from ruha ('spirit'), as well as from mana ('nous'). In Mandaeism, humans are considered to be made up of the physical body (pagra), soul (nišimta), and spirit (ruha).
