Word KIMBRAS, KIMBRYS, KIMBRETI have even 3 meanings in Lithuanian language: leg, some kind of cattle, to freeze. Also, one Kimbrian word is known - MORIMARUSA refering to Baltic sea. MORIMARUSA can be misspelling of MARIU MARUZHE, which in Lithuanian language means BIG SEA. Also compare with Dacian-Sarmatian-Getian capital Sarmuzhe Getushe (Sarmizegetusha). Word TAUTA in Prussian language means LAND, COUNTRY.

The deformation of <Morimarusa> required to make Baltic out of it is even more severe than the one needed for Celtic. More importantly, the zone of Baltic hydronyms does not extend toward Jutland, but in the opposite direction to the east and southeast of the present Baltic-speaking area, covering most of what is now Belarus, part of Ukraine, and part of Russia east of Belarus.

The fellow in the subsequent posting who tries to get Slavic 'frosty sea' out of <Morimarusa> is indulging in anachronistic dilettantism, like his 19th-century predecessors who tried to shoehorn the name into Slavic.
