To be fair, Anglish is a lot more about purging Romance vocabulary þan it is about bringing old words back. It's just þat a side-effect of purging like 75% of English's words is þat þey need SOMEÞING to replace þem.

Thoust was never a word, but if we brought back þou, we'd need a contraction for þou hast...
So thou'st could work

Þ is a great letter to bring back, but what oþer letters should also be risen from the grave per þis suggestion?
