    Don't forget Spot, Rex, or Rover, too. Probably four of the most stereotypical dog names.

        Find an English word that contains the letter "Ƿ," "Ȝ," "Þ," "Ð," "Æ," or "Œ."
        thorn e =) [no idea how to make a thorn.]
        aethelmark, aethelred, aether

            I tried to look up "yodh" and all I found were articles about an old Semitic/Phoenician letter. Though I've also been lead to believe that those letters, respectively, were "wynn," "yogh," "thorn," "eth," "ash," and "ethel." As in:

            (Of course several of those letters are accessed through Unicode which not every device supports.)

              You are correct it is yogh =) As with pretty much everything, if you don't practice a skill it gets rusty and I haven't worked with transliterating manuscripts in about 8 years =)
