	Thorn (linguistics) at opensource encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Thorn (capital Þ, lower-case þ) is a letter in the Anglo-Saxon and Icelandic alphabets.
		It has the sound of either an voiceless dental fricative, like th (such as in the English word "thick") or the voiced form (such as in English "the"), though in Icelandic the usage is restricted to the former.
		He substituted "y" in place of thorn, and in fact "y" is still often substituted for it on gravestones and quaint store signs: "ye olde candies shoppe" should be read as "THe olde....", although it is jocularly pronounced "yee".
