N'âme (nanm)
(V.ENC) The spirit of the flesh that allows the body to function while alive and passes as energy into the soil after death.
Nanchon
(V.ENC) The loa are divided into several groups, called nations or nanchons, each corresponding to the place where the gods in that nation originated. Thus, the loa of the Congo nation originated in the Congo African tribe, while those of the Ibo nation originated with the Ibo tribe. The two major groups of loa, which have largely obsorbed the loa of the other nations, are the Rada and the Petro. Many of the major loa belong to both groups; they have an aspect that represents the Rada nation and one that represents the Petro nation.
