	Thorn (letter) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thorn, or þorn (Þ, þ), is a letter in the Anglo-Saxon and Icelandic alphabets.
		In William Caxton's pioneering printed English, it is rare except in an abbreviated the, written with a thorn and a superscript E. This was the longest-lived usage, though the substitution of Y for thorn soon became ubiquitous.
		The definite article spelled with Y for thorn is often jocularly or mistakenly pronounced "yee" or mistaken for the archaic nominative case of you, written ye.

	Thorn
		The letter Þ (lower case: þ) which is known as thorn, or þorn is a letter in the Anglo-Saxon and Icelandic alphabets.
		It has the sound of either a voiceless interdental fricative, like 'th' as in the English word "thick", or a voiced dental fricative, like 'th' as in the English word "the".
		In Icelandic the usage however is restricted to the former; the voiced form is represented with the letter Ðð (eth).

	Ch. 5. Characters: typology and encoding
		Small capitals have the same form as majuscules (capital letters), but are usually drawn with the same height as a minuscule (small letter) such as "x".
		The letters "B", "D", "G", "M", "N", "R", "S" and "T" were often used as geminates, while these and other letters might also be used as ornaments in the whole or in parts of highlighted words.
		However, when clearly identifiable letter forms from one script appear within the context of another, as is the case with some Insular letter forms in Nordic Carolingian script, they may be singled out by the transcriber, if s/he wishes to do so.

		The change was cheaper and easier to make in documents than on store-fronts, however, and long after thorns disappeared from paper documents, they remained on shop signs.
		Later, the sound as well as the letter disappeared from their Iberian language -- Castillian (what is called ``Spanish'' in the Americas and what was the enforced Spanish language under Franco; strictly speaking American Spanish is closer to Andalusian but that is essentially a dialect -- Castillian minus the lisp).
		The letter x does seem to be implicated in many confusions.

	Sorting the letter ÞORN
		A derived letter is one which is, in terms of its historical development, based on one or more other Latin characters, whether by some deformation of the character itself, or by the addition of one or more modifying marks or signs.
		The position for ÞORN should either be as a separate letter after Z, or as a separate letter after T and before U. These two are the historical options for all languages in which ÞORN was actually used.
		We recommend that ÞORN be sorted as a separate letter after Z. This practice was described in the 11th century by Byrhtferð for English and prescribed in the 12th century by the First Grammarian for Icelandic.
