The Old English word "þæt" could also be spelled with an edh as "ðæt."
Modern Icelandic still uses edh alongside thorn to distinguish two different "th" sounds.
A note on using this word
Edh is sometimes spelled "eth" and is distinct from "thorn" (þ), which represents the unvoiced "th" sound; both letters vanished from English after the medieval period.
