A strange question. Do you know anyone who COULD know all the
'pelican' words in all the "Eurasian" languages? Perhaps if you
explained where this <baqa> thing comes from and why you think it
should mean 'pelican' somewhere, the search could be narrowed down.

Dear Mr. Gasiorowski,

I suppose that people on this site are more learned that average people,

so I believe (and I still believe) that these enlightened people might answer questions that will likely remained unanswered if I put an ads in the neighborhood "buy my used fridge" free-flyer.

 

As far as Krop-gans and Baqa is concerned

Baqa is supposed to translate Krop-gans,

in the narration of a Dutch man dating back 1666.
