some words picked here and there can send us very far:
to confuse ourselves a bit more, why not to compare the old brittonic name of Pritania which became Britannia for Romans, surely through a stage Brittonia where we could find a confusion with Brittia, relatively close Celtic name for North Pritania, in it the word *britt or *brikt, become 'brith' : "variated", "speckled", applied to Picts (tattooed). So, your pre-"bird" pridan word could be linked to Celts too, no end!
ATW Sarmatians mercenaries were send to Britain by Romans armies, so as their dialects were close to the Scythians ones, there is no odd that some loans could have taken place in this frame (so more Latin or Celtic than Germanic); in fine: all I-Eans were Scythians?!? Simplest, I take it.
