The Tenth lesson.


A large hook prenIed to =, N and
. indicates an added !, As in coral or
camel, line l. A similar hook, when at
tached to !, shows an added r, as in color.
A short, light tick, forming q sharp angle
presses h. When hay cannot well be writ
Ten, a small dot, placed beside q vowel
dot or dash, may be used to express the
.spirate. See Abraham, line 2. A small
hook predxed to I, r, m, or n, expressesw;
see .edil, york, line ~. A large w-hook
is also pre6xed to {, d, k, and o, forming
the double consonants, f,o, duo, k,c, and
20. See ttsin, qaack, line 8. A large
final hook, known as the shun- hook, Is
used for the syllables, sion, eion, ton,
Mion, etc. See station, fashion, line 4.
When precedes 1t, this syllable is rep
resented by little curl Oh tho opposite
side, as in physteidn, line 4. This curl.
when initial, stands for n, as in enstare.
narrow loop expresses ct, and broad
one str. Line 5. Doubling curve Odds
add {, or d. See lines Z, 8, and 0. OBJ
serve, LIST, that is not pronounced until
all vowels and hooks which are appended
to the stem have first been sounded; I'd,
that $, II fnal, II sounded after &; that !,
r, m, and n, are shaded for Dine 81 ex-
ccpt when hook Is attached. Line 8. A
vowel, to be read after stem and before
hook or r, is struck through the stem,
II dash, or If . dot is changed to q
small circle, preceding II long, and fol-
lo,cing If a short vowel. Line 10.

Learners are cautioned not to write the
shortened letters more than half the

will become COMPOUNDED. The practice
of the writer should be rather to form
these brief signs q trile less than the
standard length. To avoid confusion,
not only must the halved letters not be
too long, but those Of standard length
also should not be too short.
Shortened curves are, In proportion to
their length, bent somewhat more than
full lengths; as an illustration, 1t will be
seen that md, extends almost as far above
tho line as m. See middle, line 8. This
practice adds to the angularity OF many
word-forms.
When or d is followed by q final
vowel, 1t cannot properly be expressed by
the having principle; for, II 1t were SO
indicated, 1t would be impossible so to
place the final vowel that it would be read
last. To illustrate, { In might, may BIO

Gates the fact OF a following vowel.
This lesson is difficult, but will well
Hpay close study.
