apologies

[Edil Legno]

I wrote to  the ZOO of Prague ,they have answered - that blanacek doesn't
exist.It's really strange,that  this word ,which You cannot find in
vocabulary of Czech language,nobody doesn't know - even veterinary (whom I
asked told me,that it doesn't exist) - only this Moravian Lady  tells that
this word belongs to Czech language  and not to some Moravian dialect.....
