The Tenth lesson,

A large hook preflxcd to =. ~
indicates an added !. as in .o " and
camel, line l. A similar hook, when =, VI
tached to !, shows an added r, as in COLI ~
A short, light tick, forming a SHARP ami,
ut the beginning of K, o, I, m, or 10. er'
presses n. When hay cannot well be writ,
ten, a small dot, placed beside a yowe,
dot or dash, may be used to express tho
aspirate. See Abraham, line 2. A small
hook pre1xed to !, r, M, or n, expresses >,

Learners are cautioned not to write the
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 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, it will be
seen that md, extends almost as far above
the line as m. See middle, line 9. This
practice adds to the angularity Of many
word forms.
When or d ia followed by final
vowel, it cannot properly be expressed by
the halving principle; for, IL it were so
indicated, 1t would be impossible so to
place the final vowel that it would be read
last. To Illustrate, in might, may be
expressed by shortened M; but the en-
ployment of the stem t, in mighty, indi.
Gates the fact of q following vowel.
This lesson is difficult, but will well
repay close study.
