Icy Turkey Guzzler 🇮🇸: Yes. It probably still is but I spelt it wrong :/ "n"s are tricky in Icelandic. It definitely sounds like "thod" -

swittle: I met several runes while researching medieval English docs. Thorn, eth and yogh come to mind. -

swittle: Rather like a number 3 but half of it below the line. Originally a 'y' sound but was later confused with the letter 'z', which was written similarly. The name 'Menzies' is an example. -
