If we're mucking the alphabet, though, we really should bring back the thorn.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter)
(If for no other reason than to also bring back the you/thou formal/informal split so I get fewer stares when I point out that the best translation of Exodus 20:13 is really more like "hey, man, no murders!")
using that letter thorn becomes 'þorn' lmao
Translation from... An older version of English? I'm pretty sure that distinction is not in the original Hebrew.
(good joke though)
