    medu-edis and irštwa in lithuanian can be translated as medų valgantis, medvalgys, medų ėdantis, so medu-edis makes perfect sense in the case of bear (animal) if one would refer to one as such, and irštwa, in lithuanian is basically the same - irštva, meaning hive, lair, burrow, or any wild animals residence.

    The black eagle/white flag represents the later, German-speaking Prussia (derived from the earlier black-on-white cross flag). it has nothing to do with the Old Prussian you discuss here, even though some Germanized Old Prussians did merge into the later (13-20 cent) German-speaking state of Prussia

    Interesting to is how we can observe Lithuanian 'sunus' for 'son' has cognates in the Slavic, Germanic, and Indo-Iranian languages. This root, however', became taboo in other Indo-European languages such as Latin as one example. In Latin it came down from the Proto-Indo-European root *dhelios / *dhelyos meaning the one who 'suckles or is being nursed' The Proto-Itaiic form was "felios, and eventually as in Latin 'filius'. Notice the Latvian word for son 'dels' fits in here as a cognate to the Latin form.

    I suppose Latvians changed their word from "sunus" into "dels", because they invented name for dogs "suns" and decided that it would be not appropriate to keep so similar word in use for their sons.

    If you would add also sanskrit, you would see that there are more similarities between baltic language and sanscrit than between baltic languages and Russian or old Russian. Therefore I'm not sure there was a language like proto-balto-slavic. I do not think even all tribes within borders of nowaday's Latvia spoke dialects of one protolatvian language. From very different words with the same meaning still used by Latvians in latvian language in various regions I suppose that even in 10th or 12th century there were different languages and not dialects in different parts of Livonia, Couronia, Selia and other regions...

    потому что русский это сборная солянка из церковнославянского, балтийских, местных славянских наречий и прочих языков что были на территории Руси и России. Именно поэтому именно у русского языка и литовского из-за торговых связей с кривичами ооооочень много однокоренных слов, которые в отличие от других славянских языков оставили изначальный смысл. И лингвисты сейчас изучают: русский язык брал некоторые славянские корни? или они пришли из балтийских языков? А может изначально были в русском? как говорится: что было раньше? курица или яйцо? Око или глаз?

    In Slavic 'luna' simply developed in a parallel manner as it did in Italic (= Latin). Both stemmed from an earlier form *lauxna or *lauksna and coincidentally developed the same way in Slavic as well as Latin. The Slavic form may have been influenced by Latin, but the Slavic form is not a direct borrowing. Both stem from Proto-Indo-European "leuxnos, *leuxna, a derivative of the stem *leuk- 'to shine: shiny white'. I don't know how the conclusion was made that it came from Romanian. A word of advice: please do a little more research before making such conclusions.
