This is a particularly interesting example.

Can anyone give me a synopsis of Karalinuunas' article on "Reflexes of
IE *h2rtko- "bear" in Baltic" (JIES Vol. XX1, num. 3-4)? Just curious.
Are any of the reflexes diminutives?

Also, any other recent bibliography on this specific topic would be most
welcome.  I already have the reference to Paveluescu's "The Name of the
'Great Bear'" (JIES XVI, num 1 & 2), although I haven't read it yet.
