Butterflies

In the recent discussion of words for "butterfly", I noticed two things-
1) Words for butterfly often contain labial sounds
2) An element of reduplication is frequently present.

I have therefore decided that the Khangaþyagon for butterfly will be
"babal" (pronounced [b&b&l]). What are other people's words for butterfly?

Pete
