On the Aestii
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/cybalist/message/57554
Pekkanen, p. 82
'The Aestii, whom without any further consideration Tacitus regards as Germans, are nowadays [1968] commonly regarded as Balts, although it cannot be denied that some of the most eastern of their tribes may have been of Finnic origin [more likely, IMHO, the historical sequence is Baltic Finnic -> Venetic -> Baltic]. The Venethi, whom Tacitus after some hesitation is inclined to regard as Germans, are classed among the Slavs, although the name may originally have belonged to an Illyrian tribe and been transferred by the Germans to the Slavs, who replaced the Illyrians as their eastern neighbors [more likely, IMHO, Venetic -> Slavic].'
