Prophet

nabii (Arabic loanword) is standard and shared with Islamic usage for both Old Testament and Quranic prophetic figures, which is a genuine point of contact but requires care: readers may assume OT prophets fit a Quranic prophetology (each bringing a new revealed book that supersedes the last) rather than the biblical pattern of a unified, progressively unfolding covenant history. mchawi (witchdoctor/sorcerer) must never be used, given the active traditional distinction between true prophecy and traditional divination.
