-- that's what I said, east of the Germans, south of the Balts, west of the
Iranians.

The linguistic frontier between Germanic and Slavic fluctuated, just as that
between Slavic and Baltic and Slavic and Iranian did.  But their relative
positions never changed much, and neither did the fact that they were in
continuous contact from PIE times on.>>

If you look back at what I originally wrote, it was in response to your
derision of pots.  The only way we know what you are saying is pots.  And in
the middle of the first millenium bce, the pots seem to say that the
proto-Slavs (according to some sources) are not in contact with
proto-Germanics.  Check back to see what I wrote.  It may be helpful.
