karabat

This looks like another made-up substitute for a term whose etymology isn't Turkic enough. Chuck Entz (talk) 03:06, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

It is some people's surname in Turkey. Kara means black and bat means duck or kar means snow (kara is the dativ form) and bat means sink in Turkish. Why are you commenting about the etymology of a Turkish word without knowing Turkish language? --88.251.232.233 03:21, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

Some people's surname... that would be Karabat then. Renard Migrant (talk) 12:30, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

You may find some google results that it was used with the sense of pinguin: May 1, 2014 Linux'un simgesi karabat kuşudur (yani penguendir). (from Google Groups). --188.126.70.43 13:47, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

I don't need to speak the language to see that penguen, the word listed in dictionaries, isn't etymologically Turkic, and you've now demonstrated that karabat is. Thank you for proving my point. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:17, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

You mean penguen has not Turkish origin. I misunderstood because you used the word "enough". Anyway... --88.251.60.186 11:33, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

"karabat" isn't penguin. They did fabricate against "buzulkuşu" word and try to show like a other bird the "buzulkuşu" word.

According to Avibase buzulkuşu means Diuca speculifera. --88.251.163.12 09:37, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

You made add to Avibase. It is your cheat... --83.66.25.64 12:03, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Avibase is not an open dictionary like wiktionary. --88.251.163.12 20:19, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

RFV-failed. All the citations I can find on Google Books are of Karabat (a surname), a transliteration of an Arabic word, or a word in one or more African languages. - -sche (discuss) 21:06, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
