Wheat of the Britons was dry food where wet food "mast" was acorns oak-seed for pigs as a gift from Zeus and his dryad trees. Although Picts seemed to like wet barley to drink.. I've descended a long way from Picts of Strathclyde. Pritanni possibly were creative, workers and pastry cooks in the daily grind. Surely not straw-men? Wheat is from "hwaitjaz" not black jazz meaning bards earned some dough from druids. Can we depict Britons as seedy?

If this was machine generated text, you fail the Turing test.

Chimera, what is the point of your post? Is there a point to your post?

My pc machine tells me the roots are *ker and *krt.
Pritanni cruth were linked to Brehon (Irish: breitheamh ) and judges' law. And that *krt root became "Sanskrit" well- formed text, just like my first post. Eastern Sanskrit people today have Danu the water-goddess and desa " people , the land" similarly to boaire-desa , the lowest cattle-lord with clients. Desa lived in a intensely rigid lord-client state-religious national culture.
And "karta" ( *krt) means the adjectival group of krt suffix words. As a noun , karta is "judge". ( kartas "paper").
So just maybe the Pritanni rulers were breitheamh judges, the cruth of " krta ".

breath: judgment, so Irish, Old Irish breth, *br@.tâ, Welsh bryd, Gaulish vergo-bretus, *br@.to-s. For root, See bràth.
--
Vergo Bretus was the elected chief magistrate of Gauls where vergo was the staff, the rod, of office. (maybe like the fasces rods of the Roman state). Brettanos of Gaul was the father of Kelto who joined Hercules in a gay-rights or animal-rights marriage. Kelto was a snake-woman who borrowed Hercules' cattle (like the woman in Connal Cernach of the Alps). Her son was Keltos. A princess of the Naga snake-rulers also married a Sanskrit prince in Cambodia. Naga snakes are companions of Danu in Bali Indonesia of the desa people , where Kritajaya , "cruth -victory" sailed his boat.

:??: The problem is you seem to be making random statements - non sequuntur - that have no connection with each other at all?

For instance,

They are the roots of what exactly? For 'cruth'?

Yes the word Pritanni has been linked with the word cruth 'shape', which in turn has been linked with the word Cruithin* (Irish word used to describe an Irish tribal group, as well as the Picts of Scotland) and the Welsh Prydyn 'Picts'- though the arguments are fairly conjectural; but how are you linking the word cruth to Brehon Law?

etc...

The roots *ker and *krt relate to the topic title. But a couple of refs. say the terms are "akin" or comparable . ( as in Wikipedia "Ceres".)

wheat, Irish cruithneachd, Old Irish cruithnecht: *kr@.t-on-, root kert, ker, cut, "that which is cut"; Lithuanian kertù, cut; Greek @Gkeírw, Latin curtus, etc. (Rhys). It has been compared to the Latin Ceres, English cereal, and Latin cresco, creo, as in cruth.

cruth form, figure, Old Irish cruth, Welsh pryd, *qr@.tu-s, root qer, make; Latin cerus, creator, creo, English create; Lithuanian kuriù, build; Sanskrit kar, make, kr@.tas, made. _ McBain.
-----------------
> "Pritanni cruth were linked to Brehon.."
This means the people, not the morpheme "cruth". So root *krt is not * bher Brehon . However, if "karta" in another dialect means "judge" then "prittani (krt) " may carry the semantic of "judge". This then connects with the semantic "judge" in bret, breth, Brehon.

A similar pattern of making and speaking happens in a parliament:
Achta Ionstraimí Reachtúla . (L actum).

The Ceann Comhairle .. generally votes in ..conventions.. the Speaker of the British House .. The Ceann Comhairle formally opens each day's sitting by reading the official prayer. The Ceann Comhairle is the sole judge of order ..

A challenge, chimera:

If you are human, quote this post and make a sensible, coherent response to it.

"A challenge, chimera:

Chimera was the offspring of Echidna a snake-woman of the Medusas. She appears to be identified with Kelto mother of Keltos, king of Kelts.

"quote this post and make a sensible, coherent response to it."
As a goat-headed lion, the chimera (Gr chimairos : year-old goat , Gaulish gheim "winter (season)) would either groan or say baaaaaaa.
