beginning and when it is doubled, as in: fara, frá, vaff. 2)
like a hard v in all other cases, as: haf, nafn, höfn,
stefni, as seen in the Ferroe: Navn, Hövn, stevni, stevndi,
stevnt.
17. Þ [[** NB: Setteren har kursiv Þ og þ, bruker ð både som liten og stor bokstav og har her ingen kursivversjon **]] (th) sounds like the english th in think, thought.
It is only found at the beginning of a word, and is therefore
never doubled. ð [[ok!** burde vel vært Ð, siden det ikke dreier seg om lydskrift **]] (dh) sounds almost like the d in the danish
words: med, Bad, Råd, most like the english th in: bathe,
father; it is heard more strongly rolling than other Consonants
as in: aðrir, öðlast, feðrum, riðnir, faðmar. It does
not appear at the beginning of words and never doubles, but
it changes indo [[** sic, vel into **]] dd, as: gleð = gladdi, ryð = ruddi.
The Ancients often wrote þ for ð, if the sense expressed its
meaning, but they never wrote d for ð before the 14th Century.
18. k has 1) the hard sound as in the danish kan, 2)
the soft sound (kj) as in kært (14) but never aspirated as in
the Swedish känner; nor has sk the aspirated sound as in the
Swedish skär or in the german word Scheere, but it is pronounced
like the danish skære.
19. g has 1) the hard sound as in går; 2) the soft (gj)
as in the danish Gær (14); 3) an aspirated sound after vowels
or at the end of words or syllables, as the danish g in
Sag, Røg etc. We recognise this from the fact that the Ancients
always wrote in such cases gh, as: lögh, vegh. But it never
sounded like j, not even when followed by i, this is visible in
the old verses, in which otherwise the half-rhyme would have
either been corrupted or vanished altogether, as: Fms. 6, 23. 88.
