noun

حرف Þ, þ

A letter of Latin script (capital: Þ, small: þ), borrowed from the futhark; today used only in Icelandic to represent the voiceless dental fricative, but originally used in several early Germanic scripts, including Old English where it represented the dental fricatives that are today written th (Old English did not have phonemic voicing distinctions for fricatives).

Examples :

"The history textbook explained that the letter "thorns" (þ) was used in Old English to represent sounds we now write as "th." "

شرح كتاب التاريخ أن الحرف "Þ" كان يستخدم في اللغة الإنجليزية القديمة لتمثيل الأصوات التي نكتبها الآن "th".
