Can name Padus be related to Lithuanian word "padas",
meaning "tread, sole"? Also there is 3 place names in north Italy,
which is interesting to me: Genova, Mantova and Padova.

Old Prussian word GENA, meaning WIFE, > place name Genuva (like LIETI
> Lietuva (Lithuania))> Genova
Lithuanian word MANTA, meaning RICHIES, > Mantuva > Mantova
Lithuanian word PADAS, meaning TREAD, > Paduva > Padova ?
