where do i find these? they don't seem to be in the 2-8-2 package.

yes, but close: Lynx tries to accommodate the World's languages,
so lynx-devers need to have some basic information available,
quite apart from the subject's inherent interest.
your account makes sense: there's no exact parallel to Ancient Slavic,
but the Oxford English Dictionary is full of references
to Old High German, Old Norse, etc, from which sister languages
like German & Dutch (close) & Icelandic (more distant) also descended;
then there's Latin, Italian & French in another family.
