[Lexicog] What is a bat?

[Wayne Leman]

Fritz, the Cheyennes have the same story about a bat wondering in which
category he belongs. He is rejected by both birds and animals, so that is
why he hides out in the dark. It is amazing to me how often a story is found
in many different parts of the world.

As for a Cheyenne word for bat, one is not well known, but in the old story
the word is moseskanetsenoonahe, literally 'brownish-colored-winged-one".
