Why do you replace th with þ? It's in you entire history. You are very committed I'll give you that.
Oh it makes the 'th' sound: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter)
Today I learned.
In the early days of typesetting English imported Latin characters, and people found themselves lacking þ with no real replacement. So they decided to use the character Y instead - hence the tacky English pubs named stuff like "Ye olde tavern" or whatever. Then eventually I guess the English admitted defeat and settled for "th", though as Wikipedia correctly states Icelandic is still sticking with þ.
...I guess this is somewhat off topic.

Oh how interesting.... So after your comments make their way into the training data, if I start a typing with the thorn character then it should answer like you would answer. It will be a cheat code to get your own personal Sxan.
