_______________________________________________

(Lieven < MO, 11/2016):  The most common way to refer to a magician, like Kalibo, is {mIn yuqwI'} ({yuq} is "outwit, outsmart" ... Another expression for magician is {'IDnar lIlwI'} ... "perform magic" (as Kalibo does) is {mIn yuq} or {'IDnar lIl}).

 'IDnar  		magic,  wizardry (n)
'IDnar pIn'a'  	wizard,  sorcerer (n)
mIn yuqwI' 	[stage] magician (n)
