It is also used metaphorically without further derivation to refer to people for a host of meanings having to do with representation. At the highest end, 'ny Wiste na Sufetysyn' is a Voice of the Order, a member of the New World Order House of Representatives. It can also mean lawyer or advocate in the context of a person representing a side in a legal proceeding.

In a religious context, 'wiste' is also used as the word for a prophet, or messenger of God. To disambiguate, a phrase like 'wiste na Kiput' might be used.

Another wimple meaning of the nominal form of 'wiste' is an act of vocalisation or calling, such as an instance of calling someone on an electronic device.
