I don't know if we have an explicit statement anywhere about what makes
magic words magic, but I would say it's these two properties:

(1) It can modify (almost) any other word.
(2) The grammar of the resulting construct is independent of the class of
the word(s) it modifies.

The "almost" is of course necessary because of the interactions between
magic words. They can certainly modify any non-magic word.

UI and BAhE satisfy condition (1) for the most part, they are not very
choosy in what they interact with, but not condition (2), because the
resulting constructs retain the grammar of the word they modify.
