Remarks | 'bat', i.e., 'flapper', from Middle English 'backe' borrowed from Old Swedish 'natbakka', i.e., night bat, from Old Norse 'lethrblaka, i.e., leather-flapper (p. 54, Ref. 11979); 'black', from Old English 'blæc', of obscure origins but probably related to Latin 'flagrare' and Greek 'phlégein', i.e., burn, from Indo-European 'phleg-, bhleg-' (p. 65 in Ref. 11979); 'fish' from Germanic 'fiskaz' from same source as Latin 'piscis' from Indo-European word 'piskos' (p. 229 in Ref. 11979). |
