'''Kantix''' — a confident judgement offered by somebody with no means of making it; the habit of claiming an eye one has not earned.

== Notes ==
The man who squints at a [[Bill of Chattel]] and announces it is forged. He cannot tell.
Nobody can, because a ''[[Lexicon:Modern/Maerkwy|Maerkwy]]'' forgery is the same work as the
real thing.

Paired with ''[[Lexicon:Modern/Mlaedi|Mlaedi]]'' in ordinary speech: one performs courtesy,
the other performs competence, and both are performances. Every third man at a
[[The Iron Coves|Coves]] table is Kantix about something.
