Can it be that there was Celtic word DUMNAS meaning DARK?
Here are some Gaelic - Lithuanian words:

Lithuanian - Gaelic - English
UPE - ABHAINN - RIVER
butas, buda - buth - booth
KETVIRTIS - CEATHRAMH - QUARTER
du - da - two
VYRAS - FEAR - MAN
GARDAS - GEARRAIDH - PEN
LINAS - LIN - FLAX
moteris - màthair - mother
malunas - muileann - mill
MARIOS - MUIR - SEA
puodas - poit - pot
RUDAS - RUADH - BROWN
SENAS - SEAN - OLD
SKELTI - SGOILTE - SPLIT
sniegas - sneachd - snow
SROVE - SRUTH - STREAM
sedyne - suidhe - seat

Gaelic is considered to be Q-Celtic. But does words ABHAINN and
CEATHRAMH fit to that?
