From a 22 Words post titled "Phonetically Accurate Gratitude"
“OK, so it’s actually not quite accurate since the T-H is voiced in “than” but not in “thank,” but close enough.”I love that 22 Words noticed the voicing.
theta is voiceless
eth is voiced
To add further phonetic analysis, the way the sign is written the individual words would read as /ðæn/ and /kju:/
when in reality the expression of gratitude is a combination of the words
/θænk/ and /ju:/
when in reality the expression of gratitude is a combination of the words
/θænk/ and /ju:/
