Chapter III

Blends

     23.  The blends are used as in the English system, and often afford convenient means of writing the accusative forms.

hontema		atente
apartenas		mediumo
karton		fraton
tutan		homon

     24.  It is advisable, however, to write the nominative of feminine forms in full.

fratino

kantistino

Expressing R

     25.  The reversed circle is used to express r.  When a root ends in ar, er, or ir after a straight stroke, the noun form of the word is written as follows:

diro		tero
maro		maniero

     26.  The plural is shown by changing the form of the circle into a loop.

diroj

gitaroj

     27.  Derivatives may be written as follows:

tera		mara
diri		diru
