鬼

Edit: not referring to western Devil, just evil spirits

1. 鬼 normally means "ghost" but can it mean "devil" too? e.g. 鬼子

2. Is there a difference between 神鬼 and 鬼神 or are they the same?

3. 鬼神 seems to mean "ghosts and gods" but can it mean "devils and gods" too?

4. Trying to stick to just a single character for "devil". I guess there's 魔 for that too, but is 神魔 a better term than 神鬼? cuz Pleco says that's "gods and goblins"
