Þe

Shouldn’t this be an eth (ð) and not a thorn? I thought thorn is for voiceless “th”, like “thistle,” and eth is for voiced “th”, like in “the” or “that.”

    It is is Icelandic, and in Old English. By þe Middle English period, Thorn had replaced Eth and was used for boþ. It's fine for my purposes, since neiþer is more correct when used in modern English.
