T

T (té), the nineteenth letter, was in the Runic alphabets represented by RUNE, and in later Runes also by RUNE; its name was Týr -- 'Týr er einhendr Ása,' in the Runic poem; a marked RUNE, 'stunginn Týr' represented the d. Týr was the first of the third and last group in the alphabet, T b l m y, which was therefore called Týs-ætt, or the family of Tý, cp. the introduction to letters F and H.

B. CHANGES. -- T is sounded as in English. Various kinds of assimilation take place with this letter, -- dt into tt, e.g. neuters of adjectives, gótt, ótt, blítt, qs. góð-t, óð-t, blíð-t, see góðr, óðr, blíðr: ht or kt into tt, sótt from sjúkr (Goth. sauhts), see Gramm. p. xxx, col. 1: nt into tt, stuttr, brattr, vöttr, for stunt, brant, vant; vittr (i.e. vetr) for vintr: ndt into tt, as statt, batt, bitt, vatt, hritt, hratt, qs. standt, bandt, bindt, from standa, binda, vinda, hrinda: the mod. preterites, benti, lenti, synti, kynti, from benda, lenda, synda, kynda, qs. bend-ti, lend-li, where the ancients have bendi, lendi, etc.: tþ into t or tt, as imperatives, viltú, sittú, vittú, vertú, for vil-þú, sit-þú, vit-þú, ver-þú: also in mod. pronunciation, tótt for topt, bátt for bágt: tt for t after a long vowel or diphthong, mjó-tt, fá-tt, há-tt, smá-tt, ný-tt, from mjó-r, fá-r, há-r, smá-r, ný-r: kð, pð, into kt, pt, sekt, vakti, dýpt, dreypti; older and better, sekð, dýpð, see introduction to letter D. In some Norwegian vellums a digraph tð is used for ð, etða, matðr, atðrum, þatðan, smitðja, ytðru, = eða, maðr, aðrum, þaðan, smiðja, yðru, see Þiðr. (pref. xvi): also stn for sn, stnúa, stnjór, for snúa, snjór, see introduction to letter S. II. an initial t, as is remarked by Prof. Bugge, has become k in the words kvistr, kvísl, qs. tvistr, tvísl (from tví-). III. following Grimm's law the Teut. t answers to Gr. and Lat. d, GREEK- = tor-, GREEK = tár, GREEK = tré, GREEK = tigr, Lat. d&o-short;mo = temja, videre = vita, sedere = sitja, and so on. 2. the Norse t, as well as Engl., answers to High Germ. z, Icel. tíð, tal, = Germ. zeit, zahl, etc.
