183. Compounded Logograms

It often happens that a gram-malogue forms a part of some other word, and in such cases the corresponding logogram may sometimes be used to form a part of the phonographic outline. For example, the word to-morrow may have the first syllable expressed by the logogram for to \ . The remainder of the word is joined to it without lifting the pen, and should, of course, be vocalized. In such outlines, the portion written with the logogram should generally be placed in the position with reference to the line of writing which it would hold if written alone, the rest of the outline accommodating itself to the position of the logogram. When two logograms are used in the same outline, the first is usually placed in its own position with reference to the line of writing. The following is a list of the most frequently-occurring words written in this manner. Those printed with the double hyphen (:) are written with broken outlines connected by the phonographic hyphen.

Above-board, above-mentioned, above-named, accordance, accordant., accountant, advantageous, after-dinner, afternoon, after-taste, afterthought, afterward, all-round, Al-mighty, a/most, although, a/together, anybody, anyone, anything, anyway, anywhere, become, beforehand, behindhand, caller, careful, careless, childhood, childish, childless, childlike, come-down, commonplace, commonwealth, dearer, dearest, dearly, dearness, everybody, every-day, everything, everywhere, first-born, first-class, firsthand, forsake, forswear, forthwith, forward, fullness, gentleman=like, goodby, goodly, goodnatured, goodness, gotten, greater, greatly, greatness, improvable, indeed, indifferent-ce, inset, inside, into, inward, Justness, letter-writer, lordly, manful, mankind, man-of-war, men-of-war, minded, misunderstood, moreover, natural, nearer, nearly, nearness, nobody, noway, nowhere, nowise, one-sided, onward, parted, partly, pleasurable, sixfold, sixpence, so-called, some-henv, something, somewhere, spirited, spiritless, spiritual, surer, surety, teller, telltale, tenfold, thereafter, thereat, thereby, therefor-e, there=of, there=on, thereto, thereunto, thereupon, there=with, threefold, threepence, thoughtful, thoughtless, to-day, to-morrow, two-faced, twofold, uncalled-for, uncared-for, underbid, underdo, undergo, underhand, under=rate, underscore, undersigned, understand, understood, undertake, underwent, under=writer, undid, undo, untoward, unusual, uphold, upright, upset, upward, way-bill, 7vayward, welfare, well-being, well-born, well-bred, well-known, whereabouts, whereas, whereat, whereby, wherefore, whereof, where=on, whereupon, wherewith, work/nan, worldly, would-be.

Note

Whenever the logogram men is joined finally in compounding, the vowel must be written, as there would otherwise be danger of reading it man.
