Duck or Fish?

[edit]

The opening lines of this article imply that it is a duck. The rest of the article implies that it is a fish. So...? Which is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.122.66.8 (talk) 18:48, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't this be called "Mumbai Duck"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.89.176.249 (talk) 20:29, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology

[edit]

I hate that in the internet age with every(?) old written article being typed-up, that etymologies are still uncertain.

Daak means mail.

I suggest that the absence of a Bombay rail until 1853, does not deny the use of the word daak as a source. Bombay probably had vehicles that carried mail and fish in 1815.

On the other hand… the use of “mail” for fish is stupid… unless it (the fish) already had a similar sounding name (bombil tak?), that got over-taken. [1]
