Eth ( / ɛ ð / , uppercase : Ð , lowercase : ð ; also spelled edh or eð ) is a letter used in Old English , Middle English , Icelandic , Faroese (in which it is called edd ), and Elfdalian . It was also used in Scandinavia during the Middle Ages but was subsequently replaced with dh and later d . It is often transliterated as d (and d- is rarely used as a mnemonic). The lowercase version has been adopted to represent a voiced dental fricative in the International Phonetic Alphabet .
The letter originated in Irish writing as a d with a cross-stroke added. The lowercase version has retained the curved shape of a medieval scribe's d , which d itself in general has not.
In Old English, ð (referred to as ðæt by the Anglo-Saxons) was used interchangeably with þ (thorn) to represent the Old English dental fricative /θ/ , which could manifest as either voiceless (and thus like the th in Modern English th ink ) or voiced (and thus like the th of Modern English th at ) depending on where it appeared in a word or utterance. The letter ð was used throughout the Anglo-Saxon era but gradually fell out of use in Middle English , practically disappearing altogether by 1300; þ survived
