Klingon word: mIn yuqwI' Part of speech: noun Definition: stage magician Source: November 2016 email to Lieven _______________________________________________ (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. (Lieven < MO, 11/2016): 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. SEE: 'IDnar magic, wizardry (n) 'IDnar lIlwI' magician (n) 'IDnar pIn'a' wizard, sorcerer (n) lIl simulate, impersonate (v) reS conjure, cast a spell (v) yuq outwit, outsmart (v) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
