The Enigmatic Language Spoken by the Kids in From's Season 2 Finale: Unveiling the Secrets Behind 'Anghkooey'

WARNING! This article contains SPOILERS for the season 2 finale of From! The enigmatic children make a comeback in the season 2 finale, unsettlingly uttering the word "anghkooey" to Tabitha. However, the horror TV show has yet to reveal the word's significance. Initially, the peculiar children appeared to Tabitha in a vision, repeating "anghkooey" while attempting to touch her. As the season progresses, Tabitha realizes they are seeking her aid. Despite their ongoing appearances to both Tabitha and Jade, the children remain shrouded in mystery at the conclusion of From's second season. The meaning of their phrase "anghkooey," their connection to the symbol, and their untimely ends in "Fromville" remain unresolved.

In the season 2 finale of From, Tabitha arrives at the supposedly trapped lighthouse where the children are believed to be. The recurring mention of "anghkooey" further supports this assumption. However, Tabitha only encounters the Boy in White before being thrust out of the lighthouse window, leaving the children to appear to Jade in the tunnels. Similar to the Boy in White, the children appear to be guiding the characters towards unraveling the mysteries of the peculiar town and finding a way back home. Understanding the meaning behind "anghkooey" is likely crucial to comprehending the children's role in Fromville's grim history and their guidance to new inhabitants.

“Anghkooey” Doesn’t Have A Real-Life Language Translation

Unfortunately, there appears to be no real-world translation for From's phrase "anghkooey." It is believed to be from a unique language in the series, much like From's original nursery rhyme. The identity of the children in Tabitha and Jade's visions and their fate remains unknown, making the origin and significance of the word "anghkooey" a mystery. It is not only spoken by the children as they try to reach out to Tabitha in their visions but may also be connected to the symbol that Jade keeps seeing.

Although "anghkooey" lacks a clear meaning in the real world, it has been speculated that it may be derived from the mythological Celtic figure Ankou, who represents death and brings the spirits of the deceased to the underworld. This ties into the show's themes of death and supports the wild theories from season 2 that suggest the trapped characters are actually deceased. However, it is more likely that the word is associated with an unknown character, a fictional language, or a cursed phrase specific to the MGM Plus show. Furthermore, while "anghkooey" is the only word spoken by From's eerie children in the Lost-like horror TV show thus far, there is a possibility that they may return and unveil more cryptic phrases in the future.

The Children’s Connection To The Symbol Hints At A Wilder “Anghkooey” Meaning

The children approaching Tabitha, uttering the word "anghkooey," hinted at its possible meaning as "savior." These associations were further strengthened by the hallucinations in season 2, episode 10's tunnel scenes. When Jade discovers peculiar rock slabs in the tunnels, he gazes up and experiences a hallucination of the symbol that covers the entrance to a cave. The "anghkooey" children can be seen lying on each rock slab before suddenly vanishing. This suggests that "anghkooey" may be a phrase connected to a supernatural ritual involving the symbol, possibly representing the ominous entity referred to as "It" in the town of From. As the mysteries in the town unfold, we hope that season 3 of From will provide a definitive answer regarding the true meaning of "anghkooey."
