 | Usage: betwene |  | Usage: Worching upper case 'W' has angled feet to the limbs and the head-stroke of the left limb arches to the right over the remainder of the graph. |
| Y | |||
 | Usage: wery the left limb of 'y' descends almost vertically. |  | Usage: lyuede 'y' is mostly dotted. |
 | Usage: mynstral the tail of 'y' turns counter-clockwise. It does vary in length. |  | Usage: ycrammid |
| Thorn and Yogh | |||
 | Usage: cloþing thorn is used in all positions and replaces 'th'. The stem is thick but tapers at the lower end. The lobe of thorn is oval. |  | Usage: Þanne thorn in an upper case position. There are two points on the left of the stem presumably to distinguish this as an upper case graph. |
 | Usage: siȝt yogh is used as equivalent of both 'y' and 'gh'. |  | Usage: ȝede |
