Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Changed: 1,2c1

Edh (or eth) is a letter in the Anglo-Saxon and Icelandic alphabets. ð in lowercase and Ð in uppercase.

Edh is a letter, ð in lowercase and Ð in uppercase, used in Old English (Anglo-Saxon) and present-day Icelandic and Faeroese. The name is also spelt eth, or to be completely correct, eð. The letter had its origin as a d with a cross-stroke added. The lowercase version has retained the flowing shape of a Medieval scribe's d, which d itself has not.

Changed: 4c3

In Icelandic it has the voiced th sound as in "them". In Anglo-Saxon it may represent this sound or the voiceless th sound as in "thin", both of which were also represented by thorn.

In Icelandic, ð represents a voiced dental fricative, as in th in English "them". In the Icelandic and Faeroese alphabets, ð follows d. In Anglo-Saxon, ð may represent the same sound as in Icelandic, or the voiceless th of "thread", both of which were also represented by thorn (þ). In [Middle English]?, ð was no longer used.

Changed: 6c5
