​
Sila is both the outside atmosphere as well as the internal human powers of reason and intelligence. Sila is often considered a vague and abstract religious force, capable of containing the human soul and also of transforming humans into animals and vice versa.
Name Variations: The "master spirit" or mythical ruler of the Air and Weather may more appropriately be called Silaap Inua or, sometimes, Naarjuk, "Big Belly."
