22:19 <incomprehensibly> alexgordon: idk if this extends beyond just icelandic but in icelandic þ is unvoiced (thick, thorn) and ð is voiced (this, leather)

22:20 <alexgordon> incomprehensibly: yeah I'm not sure how it works for old english

22:20 <incomprehensibly> nod

22:21 <alexgordon> > The letter thorn was used for writing Old English very early on, as was ð; unlike ð, however, thorn remained in common use through most of the Middle English period. Both letters were used for the phoneme /θ/, sometimes by the same scribe. This sound was regularly realised in Old English as the voiced fricative [ð] between voiced sounds, but either letter could be used to write it; the modern use of [ð]

22:21 <alexgordon> in phonetic alphabets is not the same as the Old English orthographic use. A thorn with the ascender crossed (Ꝥ) was a popular abbreviation for the word that.

22:22 <alexgordon> so basically no standard :P
