Rh 10. þ and ð are used indifferently to denote the open dental, either voiced or unvoiced, initially, medially and finally:

þ: þan 23, þinum 413, fuþer-fæte 44, teþ 211; siþþan 213.

ð: ðone 220, raðe 42, hafað 206; cyððe 28, siððan 1811.

20. þ (ð) occasionally interchanges with d: cweð 212, cwed 221–also wriþ 615, ȝewryd 1622. Notice also the occurrence of d for original þ: ærfodum 615, bruced 83. As will be seen under the Accidence, the latter substitution is frequent in the 3d persons, both singular and plural, of the present indicative.

30. d occurs for ðn in wurde 28.

10. OE. s is preserved: sar 87, ȝeclansod 623, ȝyrdels 219; þissun 220.

20. þis occurs for þissum 24.

OE. x remains unchanged: wexeð 1222, fex 619 etc., tux 2221. Notice axan 84 etc., the metathetic form of æsca (also æsca 107).

10. c occurs both before front and back vowels: cembe 617, abrice 418; aweccenne 821–casere 24, loca 612; wudebucca 149. Also finally: wyrc 624, and before consonants: ȝecniden 1223.
