Want some easy points in scrabble? Check out the five parts of a human soul, as defined by Ancient Egypt. They are:

• Jb - the heart, and source of emotion, thought, will, and intention.
• Sheut - the shadow, containing some transcendental aspect of the person's physical being.
• Ren - a person's name.
• Ba - their personality.
• Ka - their 'vital spark', referring to that which animates them, and distinguishes them for the inanimate.

Though only Ba, Ka, and sometimes Ren are considered English words, fit for scrabble. Go figure.
