vanshúa, n. Breath; chest-wind. Often used in place of thelvíu, representing the individual's drive and passion. Sometimes spelled sívanshúa. Contrast adía, a single inhalation or exhalation. In Zízellika Orthodox Sarthíanism, vanshúa often refers to the breath of Zeltetéa that animates sentient beings and differentiates them from animals and other forms of matter. Darika uses the more specific term Stillessa for this concept.

stillessa, n. Analogue of vanshúa found in Darika: the emanations of the divine that rest in the soul, generating rational, emotional beings from inert matter and chemically-fuelled automata.
