How does the /Ө/ sound differ from the /s/ sound, and what are some examples of words that contain each sound?

The /Ө/ sound is a voiceless dental fricative, while the /s/ sound is a voiceless alveolar fricative. The main difference is that the /Ө/ sound is produced with the tongue slightly protruding between the upper and lower teeth, while the /s/ sound is produced with the tongue against the alveolar ridge. Some examples of words that contain the /Ө/ sound include "think," "thought," and "thick," while some examples of words that contain the /s/ sound include "sit," "sat," and "set."
