large fruit bat

Note

Also Tagalog kabág ‘a species of fruit bat; a large bat’, Binukid kabal ‘kind of large bat’, Tiruray kabeg ‘a giant fruit bat: Pteropus vampyrus lenensis Mearns.’ (Danaw loan). The semantic distinction between this term and reflexes of PMP *paniki ‘fruit bat, flying fox’, both of which are reflected in a number of Philippine languages, remains unclear.
