n. a person who is not a citizen of a particular country. An archaic legal term, now largely replaced by 'alien' in modern jurisprudence.
The court treated the anda as a non-citizen.
In the 18th century, an anda was often subject to different legal rights than a natural-born subject.
The historical records indicate that the anda was granted temporary asylum, though the status of their property remained a point of contention with the local magistrate.
