Again, if translation of Ezero ring is correct, there was neuters
ending -UM in Thracian language then. Proto Baltic language didn't
have such ending. Slavic languages have neuters ending -O, which, I
think, was derived from neuters ending -UM. So, there is no
relationship between Baltic and Slavic languages, but there is
relationship between Thracian and Slavic languages. For example:
Dacian word ZELTIUM > ZELTIS > ZELTAS > Latvian word ZELTS
Dacian word ZELTIUM > ZELOTIUM > ZOLOTIUM > ZOLOTUM > ZOLOTU >
Russian word ZOLOTO
Dacian word ZELTIUM > ZLETIUM > ZLATIUM > ZLATUM > ZLATU > Polish
word ZLATO
