Let δ be a root system and let V be the Hahn group of real-valued functions on δ Then δ can be order-embedded into P(δ), the root system of prime l-ideals of V. In this note we identify P(δ) in terms of δ without explicit reference to V, up to the convex subgroup structure of the additive groups of real closed η1-fields. In particular, we characterize the minimal prime 1-ideals of V in terms of δ by an ultrafilter construction which generalizes the well-known method when δ is trivially ordered.
