Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

message: Could "Fortriu" be cognate with "Britton", "Fort-" ~ "Brit-"??  In the article on the Cruithne / Brittons, it says they were the Picts.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.143.68.244 (talk) 23:35, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, that's phonologically impossible. The Old Celtic form of Fortriu is reconstructible as *Wertur(i)jū, in a Latinised form *Verturiō (n-stem in both languages, i. e., consonantal declination), while the Old Celtic form which Latin Brittones and the like is based on must have been something like *Pritanos or *Pritenos (see Etymology of Britain and Britons): there is no way to connect the two. (Note: What I have called here "Old Celtic" is technically speaking actually an early form of the ancient British language, a kind of P-Celtic, close to the Insular Celtic parent language, and strikingly resembling attested Gaulish. It's roughly what British Celtic would have looked like by the beginning of the Christian era.) --Florian Blaschke (talk) 17:59, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Under the 'location' subheading in this article, disproportionate weight is given to the hypothesis that Fortriu existed in the Moray area. The hypothesis that Fortriu existed in the Strathearn area is supported by only a single source. The latter claim should be supported in more detail with additional references to balance the current bias. AdhStreets (talk) 16:31, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
