About This Clues Answer
We think the answer is "ETH" which means:
- noun
- • A letter (capital ð, small ð) introduced into old english to represent its dental fricative, then not distinguished from the letter thorn, no longer used in english but still in modern use in icelandic, the ipa and other phonetic alphabets to represent the voiced dental fricative "th" sound as in the english word then. the letter is also used in faroese, but is generally silent in that language.
An example sentence would be:
- • "The lowercase form of eth is ð."
- • "In old english, eth was commonly used to represent the 'th' sound in words like 'the' and 'that'."
