| Notas | 'butterfly', from the insect which was named after the once held notion that the insect landed on and consumed butter or milk left uncovered in kitchen or dairy (supported by the German name 'milchdieb', i.e., milk-thief) (p. 89, 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). |
