There's no mention of wraiths so the answer depends on what exactly they are in Glorantha. In most fantasy worlds they seem to be a variation on ghosts.

Personally I think most Humatki tend to have a pretty wide definition of undead - if you chop its head off and it gets up again its probably undead.
