17. The U Hook
The upper part of the small elliptical circle represents, when standing alone, the U in Wulst; with a dot beneath it, it represents the Ö in Hölle; with a short dash, the U in Wut or the UH in Ruhm.
The hook is always turned on its side after N and M.
The hook is turned on
its side after K and G only when it is followed
by R or L. Thus in gucken and similar
words the hook retains its ordinary position: 18. Initial W is expressed not only by the consonantal stroke (see Paragraph 11) but by the U hook.
The hook is used only when the next consonant is a downstroke.
In all other cases the
stroke
Derivatives of vie retain the primitive form.
The hook for W is never used medially, and the stroke only when its use will not mean two downstrokes in the outline; in the latter case W is represented by a horizontal dash placed under the vowel immediately following.
QU is the equivalent of KW. In this combination the W is always represented by the horizontal dash. 19. Expression of J
J is simply the vowel I pronounced rapidly. In such words as Jubel and Jodler the circle comes inside the hook, but where the hook forms an angle with the succeeding consonant the circle must lie right outside the hook:
The syllables JA and JE (JÄ) are represented by large and small loops respectively. (The writing of the final syllable in Jammer will be demonstrated later.) 20. Expressing PF
When PF commences a word or syllable or follows M, the P is omitted. In all other cases the F is omitted.
If it is particularly desired to indicate the missing letter it is shown by a dot placed after the P or before the F. 21. Expression of -tion
The endings TION, SION, however variously pronounced, are rendered by the SCH stroke. This also applies in such words as waschen, Laschen.
The diminutive CHEN is represented by the stroke CH.
The small circle is used for the ending LICH. No ambiguity will ever arise. 22. The UM Prefix
The U hook represents the prefix UM when it is followed by a consonant; otherwise the prefix is written in full. 23. Word-Signs
