There was also an additional letter in the alphabet: Thorn (letter) - Wikipedia[^] - which is why you still see "Ye Olde Tea Shoppe" as "quaint cafés" - "Ye" is a thorn pronounced "the".

It still exists in Icelandic (Þ), along with eth (đ) for "soft" th.

We have it in Welsh as well: Dd
Also a soft "th".

Is it always soft, or is it contextual? Llandudno was tricky enough already!

Welsh pronunciation is very consistent - they will nearly always be pronounced in the same way. Instead we use mutations where the letter changes to make pronunciation easier (and sound better!)
So "Croeso i Cymru" ("Welcome to Wales") becomes "Croeso i Gymru" in written and pronounced forms.

C P T changes to G B D
D B G changes to Double-D F dim
I learned that almost 70 years ago. Weird how some things never leave you.

That explains it! I thought OG was just writing the upper and lower case versions: Dd. But D is literally doubled to mean dh! So C must always be hard (=K), though I don't know what you mean by dim. Something like a Spanish J?

Dim is a Welsh word meaning nothing. And in the rhyme it indicates that in a word beginning with G, the G will change to nothing (i.e. the G will disappear). Thus garreg (rock) becomes yr arreg (the rock). Sounds weird but Welsh is actually a nice logical language, unlike English. I just wish I could remember more of it.

Interesting, thanks. Almost as interesting as some bloke with a Scottish name being born in India and learning Welsh at a young age.

And lived in Turkey for two years, learning some of that language also.

But the thorn (or thurs, capital Þ minuscule þ) doesn't look like a Y at all.
The Kaun or ᚴ, in medieval runes does though. I think someone messed up again.

According to the rules in Chris' link, shouldn't that be "happineſs"?
(Unless it's the 2006 version, in which case it should be "happyneſs".)
