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!,

the whole lot over, because you can't get anywhere in the legal system
without the Latin.
