The "ð" letter originated from Old Norse and is a part of the modern Faroese alphabet. It is used to denote a voiced dental fricative, where the tongue is lightly touching the upper teeth. Although similar to the Icelandic "ð" pronunciation, the Faroese "ð" is softer and more muted. You'll often find "ð" used in the middle or end of words, creating a smooth transition between syllables.
