Thanks, Jonny. That’s great. There are other versions on the Internet, but
none that had the pronunciation and the English glosses.

It’s best not to consider Old Prussian an ancestor of Lithuanian (or
Latvian), since it was spoken farther west and eventually got smothered
mostly by German and Middle Saxon, aside from contacts with Scandinavian and
Slavic, in places also with immigrants from Dutch- and Scots-speaking areas.

Being the oldest recorded variety of Baltic, Old Prussian offers important
data in Indo-European etymology.
