| *Ursprung
| | [ Nf. Þ, ] |
| **derived from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenician_alphabet Phoenician letter] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teth Teth] 𐤈.

| **siehe verschiedene Formen unter [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta#Forms Forms]
| |
| **When printing was introduced to Great Britain, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Caxton Caxton] and other English printers used Y in place of Þ ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter) thorn]: Modern English ''th''), which did not exist in continental [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typeface typefaces]. From this convention comes the spelling of ''the'' as ''ye'' in the mock archaism [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ye_olde ''Ye Olde Shoppe'']. But, in spite of the spelling, pronunciation was the same as for modern ''the'' (stressed /ðiː/, unstressed /ðə/). Pronouncing the article ''ye'' as ''yee'' (/jiː/) is purely a modern [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spelling_pronunciation spelling pronunciation].<sup>[8]</sup>

| **'''Thurisaz''' oder '''Thornuz''' (ᚦ) ist die dritte [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rune Rune] des älteren [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futhark Futhark] und des [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runen#Das_j%C3%BCngere_Futhark:_Die_altnordische_Runenreihe altnordischen Runenalphabets]<sup>[1]</sup> mit dem Lautwert [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th-Laut th]. Die rekonstruierten [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urgermanisch urgermanischen] Namen bedeuten „Riese“ ([https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thursen Thurse]) oder „Dorn“.<sup>[2]</sup> Sie erscheinen in den [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runengedicht Runengedichten] als [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altnordisch altnordisch] ''þurs'', [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altenglisch altenglisch] ''þorn'' bzw. [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotische_Sprache gotisch] ''thyth''.<sup>[3]</sup>
| |
| ***The rune is absent from the earliest [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vimose_inscriptions Vimose inscriptions], but it is found in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorsberg_chape Thorsberg chape] inscription, dated to ca. AD 200.
| |
| ***In [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_England Anglo-Saxon England], the same rune was called ''Thorn'' or "Þorn" and it survives as the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_orthography Icelandic] letter [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter) Þ (þ)]. An attempt has been made to account for the substitution of names by taking "thorn" to be a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenning kenning] ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphor metaphor]) for "giant".

| *Verwendung
| |
| **siehe Verwendung [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta Theta]
| |
| **In ancient times, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tau Tau] was used as a symbol for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life life] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resurrection resurrection], whereas the eighth letter of the Greek alphabet, theta, was considered the symbol of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death death].
| |
| **According to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porphyry_of_Tyros Porphyry of Tyros], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egypt Egyptians] used an X within a circle as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbol symbol] of the soul; having a value of nine, it was used as a symbol for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ennead Ennead]. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Lydus Johannes Lydus] says that the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptians Egyptians] used a symbol for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmos Kosmos] in the form of theta, with a fiery circle representing the world, and a snake spanning the middle representing [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agathos_Daimon ''Agathos Daimon''] (literally: ''good spirit'').<sup>[</sup>
| |
| ***The Egyptians also used the symbol of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumpunct a point within a circle] (, the ''sun disc'') to represent the sun, which might be a possible origin of its use as the Sun's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrological astrological] glyph. It is worthwhile to note that θῆτα (''theta'') has the same numerical value in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopsephy isopsephy] as Ηλιος ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helios ''Helios'']): 318.

| **In classical Athens, it was used as an abbreviation for the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language Greek] θάνατος (''thanatos'', “death”) and as it vaguely resembles a human skull,<sup>[</sup>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed ''<sup>citation needed</sup>'']<sup>]</sup> theta was used as a warning symbol of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanatos death], in the same way that [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skull_and_crossbones_(poison) skull and crossbones] are used in modern times. It survives on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potsherd potsherds] used by Athenians when voting for the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_penalty death penalty].<sup>[3]</sup> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrus_de_Dacia_(mathematician) Petrus de Dacia] in a document from 1291 relates the idea that theta was used to brand criminals as empty ciphers, and the branding rod was affixed to the crossbar spanning the circle.<sup>[4]</sup> For this reason, use of the number theta was sometimes avoided where the connotation was felt to be unlucky—the mint marks of some Late Imperial Roman coins famously have the sum ΔΕ or ΕΔ (delta and epsilon, that is 4 and 5) substituted as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphemism euphemism] where a Θ (9) would otherwise be expected.
