brôt[edit]

In 18th century British English, before the cheap Penny Post and while paper was taxed, the combination ough was occasionally shortened to ô when the gh was not pronounced, to save space: thô for though, thorô for thorough, and brôt for brought.

Secondly, what is (or was) the pronunciation of brôt? The same as thô? --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:06, 30 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
