A newcomer in the list proposes to extend the theme: what are the
roots/words semantically connected to the term ´butterfly`or is the term an
independent one? It´s quite obvious in English (butter-fly, OE butorfleoge)
or, perhaps, in Estonian - ´liblikas´ is derived from ´lible`(a
grass-blade). As I remember, Greek ´psyche´also referred to the insect,
being appositely animistic in that connection.
