    Default Re: Kirslininkas issue

    After doing quite a bit of research into Proto-Baltic and Balto-Slavic, besides the amazingly tedious amount of research I've been doing for Pre-Germanic Indo-European, I have gone to some effort to get some truly accurate unit names for the Balts... Lithuanian is not Proto-Baltic and EB's timeline is far before Proto-Baltic anyways so pre-Baltic Indo-European is quite close to the Pre-Germanic IE... I might have made some mistakes which I am open to correcting, but this matches various sources and follows appropriate IE rules...

    Pre-BaltoSlavic Indo-European UNIT NAMES:

    germanic_infantry_kirslininkas} Kirwīnīkōs (Baltic Axemen)
    {germanic_missile_lankininkas} Lonkīnīkōs (Baltic Archers)
    {germanic_missile_medininkas} Medjīnīkōs (Baltic Frontiersmen)
    {germanic_infantry_karas_viras} Zemjones (Baltic Light Spearmen)
    {germanic_infantry_karotovas} Korodrougōs (Oskywie Swordsmen)
    {steppe_infantry_voinu_spearmen} Vojīnōs (Slavic Light Spearmen)
