Pour Hyarion et les autres ;-)
Eomer calls Saruman ‘a wizard of great power’, changed to ‘a wizard and man of craft’, and that to ‘a wizard and very crafty’. Against the word wizard is pencilled wicca (Old English, ‘wizard’, surviving at any rate until recently as witch, masculine, not distinct in form from witch deriving from the Old English feminine wicce).
Christopher Tolkien, HoMe VII, p. 405, note 23
