evidence: Boyd 's syllabic shorthand is a system of shorthand invented by Robert Boyd , published originally in 1903 , and updated in 1912 .. Robert Boyd. Robert Boyd ( stenographer ). shorthand. shorthand. In this system , symbols are distinguished both by orientation and by shape , with the shape representing the vowel and the orientation the consonant .. Thus , `` ab '' and `` am '' would be represented by the same shape of mark -LRB- in this case an L-shape -RRB- , oriented differently ; and `` ab '' and `` eb '' would be represented by differently shaped marks , oriented the same way .. Syllables with the vowel `` a '' are represented by L shapes .. Those with the vowel `` e '' are hook-ended , approximately shaped like a `` J. '' -LRB- However , a smaller version of the same shape represents an extra consonant without a vowel . -RRB-. Most of the syllables with the vowel `` i '' have a shape like the `` a '' series , except that the angle between the short tick and the long line is approximately 45 ° rather than 90 ° ; there are a few `` i '' forms that do not fit the pattern -LRB- such as `` is '' and `` it '' -RRB- because they are especially common , and some of the forms that might be expected to represent `` i '' plus a consonant have been turned to other purposes , such as the prefix `` circum - . ''. The syllables with the vowel `` o '' have ovaline ends , and those with `` u '' have hooks like those of the `` e '' series , but the main , longer part of the mark is curved , rather than straight .. In addition to these syllables , there several additional characters including a simple straight line , a shallow curve , and a line with a curl at the end .. These are assigned arbitrarily to combinations of sounds such as `` fl , '' `` sp , '' `` gr , '' and `` ch . ''. The 1912 edition of the system expands the use of these characters to include longer sequences like `` contr '' and `` circum . ''
