DJ was a "yaqui" indian according to Castaneda...he was very clear about that. Their history is very similar to what Castaneda described in his books. They do substitute g for w (which I suspect contributes to the common pronounciation of the fictious word nagual). However, the yaqui word for sorcerer is "yee sisibome" There is a handy language guide here: http://wold.livingsources.org/vocabulary/32 Their spiritual beliefs, however, have no resembalance to anything Castaneda described.
My point in this conversation, however, has been to notice that although Wolf answered the question his answer has been disregarded. Gonzo wants to push his point that the only description is Castanedas. Phe wants to push the point that it has nothing to do with Castaneda or the but some other culture who has a word that starts with an N. My point was that the word was made up. Wolf shared what Wolf made up that it meant to him.
I get that you want to make me wrong...but I challenge you to find any word that wasn't made up.
