 [ˈmaŋ.kɯ.kʰaɬ] is centered around the idea that the [[universe:mikurmiya:avishraa|world inhabited by mortals]] is a kind of false realm; it has no reality of its own, but is instead a sort of incomplete slice or extension of the true world, the home of the [[ngatbe|[ˈŋatʰ.ɡ͜ʘe]]], //ngatbe//, or gods (lit. //the true ones//).
-There a number of schools of thought as to the exact nature of the mortal world as compared to the world of the [ˈŋatʰ.ɡ͜ʘe] - whether it is intrinsic to the latter, or some kind of dream or imagining - but the barrier between mortals and the true world is called [kɯɬ.ˌtam.ɡ͜ʘe.ˈɡ͜ʘi.ɬaːkʰ] or //guldambe-bilaak//, the //mist of lies//. [kɯɬ.ˌtam.ɡ͜ʘe.ˈɡ͜ʘi.ɬaːkʰ] is a byproduct of being native to the mortal realm; it is the confusion of mistaking what one sees and hears and feels for what is real, because senses belonging entirely to the mortal world cannot perceive the full reality available to the [ˈŋat.ɡ͜ʘe].

 The [ˈŋatʰ.ɡ͜ʘe] themselves are not seen as granters of wishes or prayers so much as teachers of lessons, and each of them is defined (in mortal terms) by what aspect of life and being they teach lessons about. It is therefore considered desirable to commune with them and receive their advice, whether on particular matters or simply on life in general. But due to the obstruction of [kɯɬ.ˌtam.ɡ͜ʘe.ˈɡ͜ʘi.ɬaːkʰ], mortals cannot clearly interpret or even detect the words of the [ˈŋatʰ.ɡ͜ʘe], and much of the practice of [ˈmaŋ.kɯ.kʰaɬ] therefore involves the various ways of ameliorating or circumventing this limitation.
