Ok so a funny thing is that in my language debilas just means someone really stupid it is an insult but is it a coincidence or not because the roman empire had only traded amber with us. And if that is the case I wonder how when trading amber someone diverted the conversation to twinks so many times that it became part of the language. Or it is just a coincidence.

    The Lithuanian meaning is the same as in English, French, Russian, Finnish, etc. The meaning has changed during the two millenia and has then been borrowed into Lithuanian.
