During the medieval times, one of the most homophobic eras of western history, words involving pronunciation of "th" were a lot more common. For example: "thou", "thine", "thy", and "th" was also added to the end of many verbs like "speaketh" or "harketh".

Any correlation?

A lisp wouldn't be "Speaketh" it would be "sthpeaketh". So probably not.

I'm afraid I'm to tired to look up the etymology, so I won't.
