Klingon Word of the Day for Friday, October 18, 2024 Klingon word: 'IDnar pIn'a' Part of speech: noun Definition: wizard, sorcerer Source: November 2016 email to Lieven _______________________________________________ 'aS 'IDnar pIn'a' Dun The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (OZ) (Lieven, 11/25/2016): To conjure or to cast a spell, which is what wizards do, is {reS}. So a wizard or sorcerer can also be called a {reSwI'}. A spell, in this sense, is {tlheH}. One can say either {tlheH reS} or just {reS} alone for "he/she casts a spell." Maltz wasn't sure if there is anything besides {tlheH} that can be the object of {reS}, since Maltz isn't a {'IDnar pIn'a'}, but maybe there is. So, an actual (?) wizard/sorcerer is an Idnar Master -- like Basai Master and Dahar Master. (Lieven, 11/25/2016): The most common way to refer to a [stage] 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}. SEE: 'IDnar magic, wizardry (n) pIn'a' master (n) 'aS Oz (GN) "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." (Arthur C. Clarke) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
