Eniana

In Mandaeism, a ʿniana or eniana (Classical Mandaic: ࡏࡍࡉࡀࡍࡀ, lit.'response'; plural form: ʿniania ࡏࡍࡉࡀࡍࡉࡀ) prayer is recited during rituals such as the masiqta and priest initiation ceremonies.[1] They form part of the Qulasta.[2] The rahma prayers are often considered to be a subset of the eniana prayers.[3]
