Meneer Rossmay, I think that maybe you are not entirely correct  about
saying that the leter «Y»  was pronounced as «th» (usually represented
foneticaly as «dh»), but rather that the leter «þ», was mistaken for «y».
the leter «þ», had become obsolete. From that which I have read, that seems
to be the origin of the «ye» about which you refer.
Blij Zonwende!
