I also noticed "Føroyic" using a lot of "hetta"-s.
At first I thought it meant that everyone was wearing
a special "Føroyic" shirt that had a hood attached to
it, a little bit like the U.S. style sweat shirts that
are now also used in Europe. In fact, it took me quite
a while to discover that the word should be read as
"þetta" - and then sudenly everything started to make
sense.

maybe it means that the THURSE was once pronounced
followed by a voiceless breath. Wouldn't that be the
little (miniscule) superscripted "h" that we discussed
a while ago?
