Mistake in the etymology of Liliac 'bat'

Hello, I can read Romanian but am more fluent in English, excuse me.. I think there´s a mistake in the article: Liliac 'bat' is said to (possibly) derive from a turkish word, and Dexonline is given as a reference. But Dexonline states that there are two different origins of the two words -that of the plant, derived from Turkish, and the one about the mammal. The name of the mammal is connected to a slavic word: limba bulgară, liljak. The english Wictionary follows that assertion Cambrilenc (discuție) 29 noiembrie 2023 22:55 (UTC)

I agree that the etymology section of the mammal sense could use some further development. However, as I understand it, the ultimate source still seems to be Turkish (see this). Robbie SWE (discuție) 30 noiembrie 2023 18:51 (UTC)
