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?

Maybe because it starts with a vowel. Something like {xangeli}
blends in more easily with "normal" Lojban.
