shn.¹

Etymology: A consonantal digraph representing the simple sound /ʃ/. In late Old English this sound was represented by the combination sc, which retained its original phonetic value /sk/ only in words of foreign origin. The sound /ʃ/ did not exist in early Old French, and hence the early Middle English texts, written by French-educated scribes, show great diversity of attempts to find expression for it. The Old English notation by sc became rare after the 12th cent. Some scribes of the 12–13th centuries used the single s initially and finally. More frequent was ss (used in all positions), which is found as late as 1340 ( Ayenbite). In medial and final positions ssh was common from the 13th to the 16th centuries; Coverdale (1535) has frequently szsh, sometimes szh (but also often sh). The prevailing form from the end of the 12th cent. to the end of the 14th cent. was sch (initially; in other positions it was less frequent); in the north it was common down to the end of the 16th cent. In the 13th cent. we occasionally find sge, sȝe, sze for she (rarely sȝ or sz in other words), and in the 14–15th centuries some East Anglian scribes wrote xal, xulde for shall, should. In Middle English texts the suffix -ship is often written -chipe, and sometimes ch occurs as the symbol of /ʃ/ in other positions. The combination sh (probably to be regarded as a simplification of sch) is regularly used in the Ormulum c1200 and frequently in the Trinity College Homilies of about the same date. It is the usual symbol in the London documents of the 14th cent. and in the manuscripts of Chaucer, and from the time of Caxton onwards it has been the established notation for /ʃ/ in all words except those which (as machine, schedule, Asia, the derivatives in -tion, etc.) are spelt unphonetically on etymological grounds. In some compounds as dishonest, mishap, Gateshead, s and h come together without forming a digraph. The pronunciation of some proper names in which this sequence occurs has been affected by misinterpretation of the spelling; e.g. Evesham is often called /ˈiːvʃəm/, Petersham /ˈpiːtəʃəm/.
