Cool, I didn't know you could make that letter. Anyway, the letter h 
requires that you blow a gust of wind for a certain amount of 
time, while <thorn> uses the tongue to make a quick gust. I 
haven't taken any linguistic courses so please forgive the 
terminology. I guess what I really like about <thorn> is how 
defined it is, which is important when you're talking fast.
