Don't forget Spot, Rex, or Rover, too. Probably four of the most stereotypical dog names."The hero is the person who can act mindfully, out of conscience, when others are all conforming, or who can take the moral high road when others are standing by silently, allowing evil deeds to go unchallenged." — Philip Zimbardo

thorn e =) [no idea how to make a thorn.]Originally posted by Bloodsoul View PostI kind of want to do the opposite. Something like:
Find an English word that contains the letter "Ƿ," "Ȝ," "Þ," "Ð," "Æ," or "Œ."
aethelmark, aethelred, aether
you forgot yodh [you know, Ye Olde Shoppe]
don't challenge a medieval recreationist with this =)

Though I've also been lead to believe that those letters, respectively, were "wynn," "yogh," "thorn," "eth," "ash," and "ethel." As in:

You are correct it is yogh =) As with pretty much everything, if you don't practice a skill it gets rusty and I haven't worked with transliterating manuscripts in about 8 years =)Originally posted by Bloodsoul View PostI tried to look up "yodh" and all I found were articles about an old Semitic/Phoenician letter.
