Earth-soul
Shadow, bone, and ground relation
The earth-soul marks a ground-facing relation involving shadow, ancestry, land, or the part of a person that can be endangered through spirit loss. Its lower-body placement is deliberately broad because these themes are distributed differently across Siberian and circumpolar traditions.

Roberte N. Hamayon, La chasse à l'âme (scholarly_modern)
Hamayon documents Siberian soul relations through hunting, land, ancestors, and ritual exchange; the earth-soul point is a comparative visual abstraction rather than a single ethnographic locus.

Hoppál's comparative work informs the earth, shadow, and ancestral language used here; it does not prescribe a universal lower-abdominal coordinate.
