I have my own system that keeps c around cause it's useful, it's always pronounced like "ch" /tʃ/

Cēri caps cú cåki cēz.

Could you "translate" that sentence to the "default" system, so we can compare?

Could we do a hostage trade with France to get back the thorn?

French has a thorn?

JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org · 2 pts · 251d (1 reply)

No, they couldn't pronounce the 'th' sound. The best they could do was a breathy 't' sound. So in the original printing presses, mostly produced in France, thorn was omitted, and 'th' was used instead. That convention has continued all the way into modern type. At least that's the story I've been told in the past.

Strange, considering the printing press was inventend in Germany ...
