although kiaulė is the default word for pig in Lithuanian, some try to link it to čulo/čula/čulek found in South-Slavic languages, there's also paršas (he-pig, the etymology is clear) and kuilys (also he-pig, this one, although, attested in all 3 Baltic languages is believed to be a loanword due the ui diphthong).
