Paul, Paul didn't mean the voicing of <t> to <d> but <th> to <dh>, or
rather from voiceless <th> as in <think> into SW English <dhink> with
voiced <th> as in <that>. In the Sampa phonetic alphabet he used that is
[T} > [D}. [T] means voiceless th, and [D] = voiced th.
It was exactly the same question I had: is <th> voiced in SW English as
well, just like s -> z and f -> v ?
