gbomotso

Ga · Ga, Greater Accra · Concept

The Ga word for the human body. Zimmermann (1858) glosses gbomotšo as 'body (of man)'. Adjei (2006) lists gbomotso, the physical body, as the bodily part of the person in Ga thought, alongside the kla (life-soul) and the susuma (personality-spirit).

In Ga thought the gbomotso is left behind at death while the spirit departs.
