Given that the two th sounds don't actually sound like a combination of t and h why was that particular combination selected or become adopted by the majority ? The former is unvoiced, while the latter is voiced. Consider the th in thistle versus the th in this:

Height, weight, thought, drought, sleight, sight all end with ‑ht.
Some words end with ‑th while others end with ‑ht. Is there a rule or reason for the differences? When were numeric contractions for ordinals first used, as in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th instead of first, second, third, sixth?
