Initial position
But note also the few words with initial ‹th› for /t/ (e.g. Thomas): see below.
Medial position
Final position
Nouns and adjectives ending in a dental fricative usually have /θ/: bath, breath, cloth, froth, health, hearth, loath, sheath,
sooth, tooth/teeth, width, wreath.
Exceptions are usually marked in the spelling with ‹-the›: tithe, lathe, lithe with /ð/.
blythe, booth, scythe, smooth have either /ð/ or /θ/.
Verbs
Verbs ending in a dental fricative usually have /ð/, and are frequently spelled ‹-the›:bathe, breathe, clothe, loathe, scathe, scythe,
seethe, sheathe, soothe, teethe, tithe, wreathe, writhe. Spelledwithout ‹e›: mouth (verb) nevertheless has /ð/.
froth has either /θ/ or /ð/ as a verb, but /θ/ only as a noun.
The verb endings -s, -ing, -ed do not change the pronunciation of a ‹th› in the final position in the stem: bathe has /ð/, therefore so do
bathed, bathing, bathes; frothing with either /θ/ or /ð/. Likewise clothingused as a noun, scathing as an adjective etc.
Others
with has either /θ/ or /ð/ (see below), as do its compounds: within, without, outwith, withdraw, withhold, withstand,
wherewithal, etc.
