    Still inconsistent. Better would be toht, ðow, þoht, þruw, þruwawt, þərow, təf in American English.

      Yeah, but I tried to stick to the presently used alphabet.

      To fully heal English, a bigger operation is in order.

        I mean, ə could be replaced wiþ y (which would be kind of similar to Welsh) if j spells ðe /j/ sound (y as a consonant), but þorn and eð have been part of ðe English alphabet before ðe Fr*nch came and are otherwise quite difficult to replace intuitively.
