Hippo, I wouldn't dare have them printed in anything other than Olde Englishe script.

Eð is good too, but has strict non-phonetic rules for its use. A voiced "th" sound can still be a þorn if þe word is connected etymologically to "þou" or "þe", which means a whole load of pronouns would be spelt wið eð in terms of sound but not so far as þe word origin is concerned. English spelling is heavily influenced by þe history of its words and all of þat lot originally had unvoiced sounds, so þat´s how þey´re spelt. Consequently, eð wasn´t used in English as often as it is in Icelandic or Færoese, as you can see from þis anno. |
