Thank you very much for the Old Frisian sample, Stefan!  And thank you for
the correction.  As you can surely tell, I am just beginning to learn the
language and often make mistakes.  I believe I also could have written: Ic
sæcge eow þancas.

Ic þancige þe,

Just out of curiosity how was the <th> (assumedly) pronounced?

Was <th> actually written <th> in the original or was it maybe eth or
thorn?
