==Function== Anguta is a [[psychopomp]], ferrying souls from the land of the living to the [[underworld]], called [[Adlivun]], where his daughter rules. Those souls must then sleep near him for a year before they go to Qudlivun ("those above us"), where they will enjoy eternal bliss.<ref name="Wardle">{{cite journal |last1=Wardle |first1=H.
