They may both be objectionable, at least for some, from a Christian point of view. {cesru'i} would seem to correspond better to the Holy Spirit, and some people might not like to lump angels with mythical beings. Etymologically, I believe "angel" is from the Greek for "messenger", and I think someone once proposed {cevnoibei}. But then prophets are messengers of God too, aren't they? > And I had no idea it was valid.

Something like {xangeli} blends in more easily with "normal" Lojban. mu'o mi'e xorxes __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
