149. Large W-Hook

A large initial involute hook may be attached to the strokes t, d, k, g, to represent the combinations tw, dw, kw, gw, (see lines 8 to 12). These combinations are best named tway, dway, kway, gway.

150. Use of Tway, Dway, Kway and Gway. - a. When a word begins with tw, dw, kw, or gw, use the large w-hook. b. In the middle of a word the hook may be used if perfectly convenient, as in line 13, but it should not be used if at all difficult or inconvenient to form.

Thus in words like esquire , entwine , the hook should be omitted and the proper coalescent-sign used.

151. Phonetic Analysis Of Qu

It is sometimes difficult for beginners to analyze words which in the ordinary spelling contain the letters qu, but the difficulty will disappear when it is understood that the sounds always represented by these letters are really kw.

152. Circle-S Before Large W-Hook

The circle- s may precede the large w-hook either at the beginning or in the middle of an outline by being written entirely within the hook. See line 14.

153. Large W-Hook In Foreign Words

In addition to the strokes metioned in paragraph 149, the large w-hook. may be written to p and b. These combinations are useful in writing many foreign word, as pueblo (Spanish), bois (French), but are of no utility in

English.

154. Y-Hook After B

The form may be written to represent the combination of b and y, heard at the beginning of many Scandinavian names, as Bjornson, but is of no utility in English.
