In reply to:
What had initially struck me as odd was the change made to the root phoneme <mag> by two different suffixes. This is looking, after all at two variants of one word, not two completely different orthographies embodying general rules. Is this common - I can't think of parralels right now, but doubtless someone can help...
Another example which we're so used to we don't even notice is the difference in pronunciation between the noun house and its plural houses , where the s sound changes to a z sound between singular and plural

This is why, when I preach the visit to the Baby Jesus, I just call them "the wise men."

Magi! Some wise guys. It took them, what, two years to get there? If it had been wise women, they would've stopped and asked directions, and gotten there on time. And they would have brought a helpful gift, like a casserole.

Sparteye notes: If it had been wise women, they would've stopped and asked directionsIf you'll remember, they did stop and ask directions and got half the population of Judea under the age of three killed because of it. And women wonder why we don't stop and ask for directions. Some of us learned our lesson!  !
