dialect bat

[John Dingley]

Hi,

Might someone be able to tell me if the word "blan^a'c^ek" ("n^" =
"n" with hachek, "a'" = long "a", and "c^" = "c" with hachek) is used
in certain Czech (probably Moravian) dialects as a word for "bat"?
I assume it derives from the word "bla'na" = "membrane".
I am aware that "netopy'r" is the usual Czech word.
