Angga is the soul of a dead person as it survives the body — the shade that departs at death and travels to the land of the dead. Distinguished from the tanoana, the detachable life-soul of the living, the angga is what remains once life has ended; the mortuary rites of the Bare'e Toradja, culminating in the great secondary death-feast, are directed at speeding and settling it in the realm of the dead. Sources describe the angga as retaining the character and needs of the living, requiring provisioning and eventually joining the ancestral dead.
