In addition to the history of the organization known as Daina, this page needs a general discussion on the folk music form known as daina. --Theodore Kloba 22:33, Dec 20, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] In the Baltic

This doesn't mean the Baltic Sea, so does it mean the Baltic countries, the Baltic region or the Baltic states, which all seem to mean something different? Shantavira 18:30, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Baltic in relation to spiritual matters would be in reference to the Balts as a group of people with related languages who established themselves in a large area bordered on the west by the Baltic Sea, on the south by the Visla River, on the east about where Moscow is now, or perhaps even further east and on the north, about where Estonia is now, around 3000 BC, and today comprises Latvians and Lithuanians, the ancient Prussians having been assimilated by Germans by about the 17th century AD, that is,"Baltic" in the context of dainas means the Baltic language speakers.
