Your post should be framed as an answer to the original question, not as a reply to one of the commenters. There is also a preference for detailed answers supported by evidence and/or links to sources. In this case, I think your answer should include more discussion of the question "Is there a formal spelling for the letter names?": you mention there is some variation, but that doesn't seem to clearly answer the question. | |

In contrast with Modern English orthography, that of Old English was reasonably regular, with a mostly predictable correspondence between letters and phonemes. | |
