Does Death Ward protect against an Allip's wisdom drain

Title says it all, thanks!

Doesn't look like it. Ability Drain is a separate ability from Energy Drain, and is not mentioned as protected against in the Death Ward description. A little odd, I think. *shrug*

Is the allip's Wis drain listed as a negative energy effect? If not, then Death Ward won't protect against it.

Not explicitly.

Wisdom Drain (Su): An allip causes 1d4 points of Wisdom drain each time it hits with its incorporeal touch attack. On each such successful attack, it gains 5 temporary hit points.
