Rules
I think eth began to be replaced with "y" when the printing press came along. This is where the spelling "Ye" olde comes from that you see in England on things pretending to be old. Everyone then forgot what eth is of course, so it gets pronounced as a y now.
it's Thorn (Þ), that was replaced by Y, because they're vaguely similar shapes. Eth (Ð) isn't even remotely the same shape.
