Himma همة
spiritual aspiration (default; preserves the technical Sufi register)
Himma (همة) — “Ambition” is forbidden because it imports a worldly-striving register foreign to the Akbarian usage. The himma of the gnostic is a cosmologically-effective contemplative orientation; range card should surface the second sense when ontological efficacy is in view.
