Dia!kwain (David Hoesar) (V)

<i>The form of a jackal, or of a little bird, is sometimes assumed by friendly sorcerers.In the Katkop dialect, by Díä!kwãin (L V.-14. 5055-5078 1/2</i>). Sorcerers transform themselves into jackals and birds when they want to watch over their people who have moved away and whom they have loved. Wise people can tell when a bird is a sorcerer and tell him all is well.
