Paleo-Germanic lexical borrowings in Saami&Finnic, correction

In short, I think the Germanic language is a product of the Przeworsk
or Oder-Warthe group. Whatever contact existed between Germanic and
Fennic pre-Grimm, ie loans with substitutions of supposed 'Gmc.'
fricative with Finn. plosive (actually with no substitution, but
direct loan of Proto-Proto-Germ. plosive as Fennic plosive), must have
taken place there or further east. And given that one can argue for a
Fennic substrate for all of Balto-Slavic, not just for Russian,
perhaps that's not so impossible.
