dialect bat

[Simon Krysl]

Dear John Dingley,
I suppose you were not looking for a negative answer: which is all I can
provide at the moment. I have not heard or read the word thus used: but -
unless there are Moravian people on the list able to confirm - will try
to check with others 'back home'.
Best,
Simon Krysl
