Summary / Abstract:

ENLith. dial. arūnas "tinder" is evidently a loanword from Belarusan. The Lithuanian hydronyms Brãvaras, Brãvar-upis and Briaũnis are supposed to be continuations of IE. *bhreu-r / *bhreu -n- "spring". Lith. dial. gulbė "butt-stock" with its derivative į-gulbinti "provide with a shaft" is borrowed from Germ. Kolbe "butt-stock". *Istymas "(medical) treatment" and "istinti "cure" appeared in the "Dictionary of the Lithuanian Language" (IV 153) through misunderstanding of paistymas "(medical) treatment" and paistinti "cure". The fact that Lith. kėvė "jade, wretched nag", kėvinas, kėvinas "id." are rather cognate with kevalas, kevelas "shell", kevatas, kevetas "shell; rind, peel" than borrowings from Livian kev "mare" is supported by a semantic parallel of OIc. skjáta "dry skin, hide; poor thing; lean, meagre, sheep or horse". It is now hardly possible to decide whether Latv. kursts "wood" and OHG horst, hurst "bush" are old cognates or the former borrowed from the latter. Lith. dial. svýnas "cover, hole of a pig" most likely continues IE. dialectal (Germanic and Slavonic) denomination of a swine.
