Shitta · salience 0.55

“General reference works on world folklore that include Burmese material place them among the benevolent nats, spirits whose relationship to human communities is one of mutual regard rather than the demand and appeasement that structures dealings with more dangerous or capricious spirits in the same system.”

Hinn

“Classical and popular Arabic sources frequently subdivide the jinn into ranked classes — including Marid, Ifrit, Shaitan, Qareen, and Hinn — and within this scheme the Hinn are consistently placed among the weaker or lesser orders, well below the powerful Marid and Ifrit in strength and standing.”
