Cult. As opposed to baluy which can apply to butterflys, etc., this word requires that the transformee be transformed as a result of their inherent power, not from natural processes or outside influence.
Ka egbanlig iyan ka pegbalewbalew te ulaula rin, wey ke pegbaluy te minsan nekey wey minsan hentew. Ka kaluwasan man-e kayi, iyan ka pegpeiling te duma, me ayam wey ke me etew naa, me kayu, me hilamunen wey minsan nekey pad ne kayi te kalibutan.
Migbanlig si Satanas ne uled.
Satan transformed into a snake.
