It is quite dense, indeed.  Undoubtedly a source of some consternation for
provincial officials, who also tend to find the Kings Brithenig a wee bit
opaque at times, most definitely a Bad Thing.  (Not the King, of course!,
only the Kings Brithenig! ;) ) Of course, the Lawyers and Judges can bowl
the whole lot over, because you can't get anywhere in the legal system
without the Latin.
