The life programme is calculated for possible last 10 years in which the daughters must be brought up and the main planned works finalised under hard conditions of unemployment and accidental earnings demanding almost all energy and time. There is no hope of any support from Lithuania because of being ostracised by the colleagues in the corporative society under the competition in such narrow sphere as Baltic linguistics.
There are 5 main tasks to be finalised. For the Baltic linguistics 2 of them are of especial importance: Definition of the Northern boundary of pre-historical Peripheral Baltic and Lists of all historical geographical names of former East- and West-Prussia, their changes by the Nazis and by the Soviets, indication of their origin and available reconstruction of all Old Prussian and Lithuanian names.
Lists of all historical geographical names of former East- and West-Prussia, their changes by the Nazis and by the Soviets, indication of their origin and available reconstruction of all Old Prussian and Lithuanian names.
Today the lists are completed for the Northern part of former East-Prussia. The Southern part requires sorting and linguistic reconstructing, the both parts require references to sources of the research. Ca. 1 year is needed to finalise the lists provided the family and the flat will be maintained from outside. The work has been primarily edited by Prof. Dr. Habil. Vytautas Maziulis.
