Did you know?
- If you were to look for a more traditional or 'old' word for a spiritual messenger, you would likely find terms related to 'spirit' or 'ghost' rather than the Christianized agilosi.
- While agilosi refers to a divine messenger, the word yalo can mean both 'spirit' and 'ghost' depending on the context of the sentence.
- Because agilosi is a borrowed term, it follows a pattern of phonetic adaptation where English sounds are reshaped to fit Fijian syllable structures.
Examples in context
- Sa vakarau na agilosi.The angel is ready.
- Na agilosi sa yaco mai.The angel has arrived.
