The name of an Anglo-Saxon letter that appears in some Old English words. Eventually replaced with the letters "th" in most words.

Capital = Ð
Lower Case = ð

BTW--eth is pronounced "th" as in "leather"--it is a voiced interdental fricative

One of the special characters in the Icelandic Alphabet. A common letter in icelandic words but never used in the beginning of a word. Usually icelandic alphabet-teaching-aids for children use the word "Baš" (icelandic for bath) as an example word. Pronounced like "th" in then, tho and those.
