Bgosh! I learned something new today!

Ok, I know it will turn out that anyone/everyone paying attention to this knows about what I found out, only today. As this little nugget of information was absent during my educational years, I had to wait until Wikipedia led me to it.

Pray tell, I hear you ask through the informational highway. Not really, but I've upped the suspense with another sentence, and that makes me giggle. Well, hang on to your chairs, here comes!


Þ



uhm yes. Þ.

It is called "Thorn" and it's anlgo-saxon-icelandic and used in rhunic times right up until this day. Isn't that a wonderful thing?

It has the sound of either a Voiceless dental fricative, like th as in the English word thick, or a voiced dental fricative, like th as in the English word the.


And you know what? I actually know what they mean by that. Who would've thought that particular course would ever come in handy?

A slightly more knowledgeable me says Hi. Goodnight!
