                      Gods, deities, souls, spirits, coffins,
                      effectiveness, wits and agility?

                      The hun
                      (that which ascends to heaven
                      at the time of death)
                      or inclination …
                      including the lofty spirit of a nation.

                      Accompanying or rebelling?

                      An associate.

                      An accompanying
                      (or rebelling)
                      companion?

                      Vigor, willpower, readiness, prudence, discretion,
                      character, talent, genius, wisdom …
                      and maybe a katana.

                      The soul
                      may be considered analogous
                      with spirits, ghosts and mysteries.

                      Breath, life, the self, nature, character,
                      the person as a whole, the body, the mind,
                      understanding, effort, firmness, sun and fire?

                      Those things
                      and the subject here.

                      A crowd, a multitude, a troop, a convoy or a caravan?

                      Companions, friends, mates,
                      partners, allies or comrades.

                      Air, breathing, a light breeze, spirit,
                      the mind, energy, courage, pride,
                      haughtiness or arrogance?

                      Life …
                      along with a partner, companion or comrade.

                      Breath or aspiration
                      (spiritual gifts of sorts)?

                      The Self nearest to the truth,
                      I reckon.
