Re: USAGE: Thorn vs Eth

I think it's not always silent. According to a pronunciation guide I found
on a danish site somewhere, Faroese eth can be [v]/V_u, and [j]/V_V,
that is: [v] between a vowel followed by "u", and [j] between any other
vowels. Elsewhere it's silent.

Speaking of Faroese, if anyone knows it, or of any word-lists/glossaries
on the net, i'd be much obliged if you could let me know... I'm trying to
compile a faroese/english dictionary of sorts... http://www.zece.com/faroese
