Adam Kasia

Adam Kasia (Classical Mandaic: ࡀࡃࡀࡌ ࡊࡀࡎࡉࡀ; also referred to using the portmanteau Adakas ࡀࡃࡀࡊࡀࡎ or Adakas Ziwa in the Ginza Rabba[1]) means "the hidden Adam" in Mandaic.

[2] In Mandaeism, it means the soul of the first man.

[4] Among the Mandaeans, Adam Kasia means the soul of every human.

[8] The Thousand and Twelve Questions, a Mandaean priestly text, also refers to Adam Kasia as Adam-S'haq[9] ('Adam-was-bright'), Adam-S'haq-Ziwa,[3] or Adam-S'haq-Rba, who is described as the father of Shishlam, the archetype of the prototypical Mandaean.

[10] The wife of Adam Kasia is Hawa Kasia ('hidden Eve'), also known as Hawa Ziwa ('radiant Eve') or Anana Ziwa ('radiant cloud').
