chained_bear commented on the word asgina ageli
"'Asgina ageli is a term that the red savages employ—the Cherokee of the mountains; I heard it from one I had as guide one time. It means "half-ghost," one who should have died by right, but yet remains on the earth; a woman who survives a mortal illness, a man fallen into his enemies' hands who escapes. They say an asgina ageli has one foot on the earth and the other in the spirit world. He can talk to the spirits, and see the Nunnahee—the Little People.'"
—Diana Gabaldon, Drums of Autumn (NY: Dell, 1997), 45
