#avian terminology

• Regional bird name — A rare regional name used in certain folk dialects of the Balkan area to designate a species of nocturnal bird of prey or a type of small migratory bird; a word structurally preserved in the archaic rural lexicon. This term retains nuances of traditional avian onomastics, being very rarely used outside ethnographic texts or local dialectology glossaries.
• Large-winged — Having large, unusual, highly developed, or disproportionate wings relative to the body; an adjective used to emphasize the abundance, width, or tattered and spectacular appearance of a bird's or insect's wings. In a figurative sense, the term can describe an object (such as a cloak or a sailing vessel) whose lateral elements flutter freely in the wind, creating the visual illusion of a heavy flight.
