We also have tyckyas Duw.

It seems to me that we must indeed have a way of saying both "bat" and  
"bats".

askel grohen, a leather-wing, seems to say 'bat' to me.

eskelly crohen, leather-wings, seems fine for 'bats'.

KK is using this anyway (as askell-groghen, eskelli-kroghen); George  
takes sgelli grehan as a plural,and points to Breton askell-groc'hen.  
It seems likely that "askel grohen" should indeed be used as a  
singular Cornish.
