You wrote "entlei", i.e. "Entlein", in German.

This diminutival is less frequent in usage
than <rãTuScã> [r&-'TuS-k&].

>raTã= unknown etymology. Compare with Alb. "rosë",

Rum.-Serb. ['raTa] is also present in the Hungarian
vocabulary, ruca ['ru-TO], but only in the Eastern
regions of Hung. speaking area (esp. East of the
river of Tisza), i.e. in what's Yugo and Romania.
Otherwise, the word is kacsa ['kOtSO], which is
Slavic, but I'm not sure.
