ten, a small dot, placed beside q vowel
dot or dash, may be used to express the
aspirate. See abraham, line 2. A small
hook prefixcd to I, r, M, or n, expresses 10 /;

Is also prefxed to {, d, k, and o, forming
the double consonants, to, do, k,o, aud
g,o. See t,oin, Quack, line 3. A large
final hook, known as the shun- hook, is
used for the syllables, sion, cion, ton,
shton, etc. See station, fashion, line 4.
When precedes it, this syllable is rep
resented by little curl on the opposite
side, as In physician, line 4. This curl,
when initial, stands for n, as in enslape.
narrow loop expresses Sc, and broad
ono str. Line 8. Doubling o curve adds
r, dr., or thr. Line 6. Haif-length stems
add {, or d. See lines z, 8, and 0. OBJ

Learners are cautioned not to write tina
shortened letters more than half the
usual, or standard length, else the two
will become COMPOUNDED. The practice
Of the writer should be rather to form
these brief signs q trine less than the
standard length. To avoid confusion,
not only must the halved letters not be
also should not be too short.
Shortened curves are, in proportion to
their length, bent somewhat more than
full lengths; as an illustration, it 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 c or d is followed by a final
vowel, 1t cannot properly be expressed by
the halving principle; for, II it were SO
Indicated, 1t would be impossible SO to
place the final vowel that it would be read
last. To illustrate, t in might, may be
expressed by shortened m; but the en-
ployment OF the stem {, in mighty, indi-
Gates the fact of following vowel.
This lesson is difficult, but will well
repay close study.
