Hi, Velnias :) I remember you from that debate on Istorija :) Still, for the sake of other readers, I'll write where we got the names from.
The debate died out on main forum, but went on in private messages, and these are the names we eventually came up with. I wouldn't want to get into that whole thing again here, since, as I remember, there was a lot of controversy about the proper grammar endings, and your opinion was not the only one given there...

The names are a result of a very long (and heated) debate on Istorija.net forums a couple of months ago. The link is here: http://www.istorija.net/forums/threa...d=24833#M24833 We tried to reflect the difference between east- and west-baltic families here, which was supposedly already present at the time - which is why the two baltic provinces use slightly different grammar forms.
(wait till you see what we came up with for unit names :)

Budinije should be spelled as Budinia or Budinija
and Nurije as Neuria or Neurija, and city - Neurijas Gordos (City of Neurija), Neurias Gordos...
These are not reconstructions of Baltic languages, but rather primitive proto-slavic (as I decided to follow the allochtonic theory, since, well, we had to chose _something_ for the game, and allochtonic just seemed neater) (I know it may sound anachronistic for 270BC, but remember that by that time the split between slavic and baltic branches already occured, so it would seem the proto-slavic family were already "somewhere") - and we discussed the location of Neuri on that forum also. The endings may be still changed if you (or someone) can find better sources on PS grammar than I could.
