    If in doubt, then just forget it.
    FYI, it (meteorite impacts) certainly left a lasting impression to the baltic-finnic folk-lore.

    I am almost surprised that you are using 'we' form here, since it seems that you think it has been a one-way street and you doubt that we should consider any other direction at all.

    I'm certain we have/had loanwords as well (even if i'm not aware of them).
    not just loanwords of course, old Lithuanian used to have three additional cases, formed under the influence of the Finnic languages.
    the inessive case, illative case, adessive case and allative case, which correspond to the prepositions "in", "into", "at" and "towards", respectively. They were formed by affixing a postposition to one of the previous cases:

    • The inessive added -en to the original locative.
    • The illative added -n(a) to the accusative.
    • The adessive added -pie to the original locative.
    • The allative added -pie to the genitive.



    The inessive has become the modern locative case, while the other three have disappeared.
    as you see we still have one finnic case
