		To Rask also belongs the merit of having first distinctly formulated the laws of sound-correspondence in the different languages, especially in the vowels (those more fleeting elements of speech which had hitherto been ignored by etymologists).
		Rask, in his essay on the origin of the Icelandic language, gave the same comparisons, with a few additions and corrections, and even the very same examples in most cases.
		Rask himself refers very little to Ihre, merely alluding in a general way to Ihres permutations, although his own debt to Ihre is infinitely greater than that of Grimm to Rask or to any one else.

	Sorting the letter ÞORN
		The coming of Christianity to England from Ireland in the 8th century brought with it the Latin script.
		The Old English alphabet spread to Iceland and Scandinavia, and by the 14th century, the use there of EÐ for the voiced /ð/ and ÞORN for the voiceless /θ/ was common.
		This became more or less the rule for Icelandic following the publication of Rasmus Christian Rask’s works on Icelandic grammar and spelling in the early 19th century; it received the status of a modern standard finally in 1982 in a resolution by Íslensk Málnefnd, the Icelandic Language Council [Baldur Sigurðsson 1994].

		Verner's Law, the sound law so ingeniously defined by the Danish linguist Karl Verner in 1875, is no doubt one of the most celebrated formulas in the field of historical linguistics.
		As the title of Verner's famous paper--Eine Ausnahme der ersten Lautverschiebung--indicates, the law captures phenomena which earlier had been considered exceptions to another acclaimed sound law known as the Germanic Consonant Shift or Grimm's Law in honor of Jacob Grimm who, drawing on earlier work by the Dane Rasmus Christian Rask, presented it in 1822.
		Although Verner's Law has been extensively discussed in the now over one hundred years since its formulation, there still remain some troubling aspects of it where there is room for the refinement of earlier views.
