Lithuanian taika (peace) is related to Serbian tiho, tih (quiet,

quiet).
Would you try to make a similar comparison in Baltic? Maybe you could
begin with Lith. dvasia (soul, ghost) and Latv. dvēsele (soul)?
I don't understand what you are attempting here..
Are you trying to have me improve upon the Lithuanian-Serbian
correspondences that you have already made?
You would hardly be able to understand the relation between Lithuanian
dvelksmas (breathing) and the word taika (peace) if there were not the
Serbian (Slavic) words disanje (breathing), tišina (peace) and all the
other Serbian words I mentioned above.
Anyway... back to basics.
The Latvian 'mir' pre-existed the Slavic one.
(How Russian subsequently confused 'peace' with 'the world' is beyond
me)
Nonsense!
