the Lithuanian "br�:z^ti" remind me of Rom. "brazda" which has the same
meaning "draw a line, scratch" word which is used specialy in the
agriculture but used too for wounds or cicatrices. Someone with "fatsa
br�zdat�" means someone with cicatrices on his face. An another meaning is
to accomodate someone with something , kind of "aliniate someone with the
existing rules". Cf DEX the word is a loan from OCS.

Question: is the Lithuanian "z^t" reflected as "zd" in Slavic?
