Panai

This is the person's self - the soul that thinks and feels. It is a person's consciousness and identity. Although all three souls are nominally of equal importance, people tend to place the most importance on the panai. After all, the panai is who they are, and the one doing the thinking.
At night, the panai drifts into the dream realm. When a person is confused and unaware when first waking, it is because their panai hasn't made it back to their body yet. Common superstition is that you should never move a person until they are fully awake, or else their panai might not be able to find its body again. Upon death, the panai is part that moves into the afterlife, independent of the other two souls. The panai enters the body around the time that the first teeth come in. An infant who does not yet have a panai is not considered to have full personhood yet. If a baby dies before their first tooth comes in, they are laid to rest in a weighted basket in a lake or the sea, to return the body to Vatokai. It's believed that the next time the mother gets pregnant, the lua is the same one, strengthened by Vatokai so that it may survive to gain a panai this time.
