Usage notes

Forms that end in -theed are spelt parallel to the English fleece vowel, mimicking words like keep, deed, or sheet; whilst forms that end in -thede mimic words like scheme or gene.

In Anglish, a puristic style of English, no standard spelling conventions exist; making the writter free to chose any spelling preferable.
