1. No change of form
The simplest phrase is
one where two or more outlines are written in succession without
lifting the pen and without any change in their form. Most phrasing
opportunities that you will come across will be groups of short
forms. Phrases follow the same rules as outline formation –
good angles and similar motion, easily read back and not too
straggling (facility, legibility and lineality).
The examples given here
are a tiny fraction of what is possible, as it is not practical to
give a comprehensive list of the simple joinings. Once you
understand the principles of good phrase formation and practised the
basic ones, similar ones will easily suggest themselves in the
course of your writing.
The first outline goes
in its correct position, and the others follow on:
it is, it is not, it was, it may be, it can have, it should be, it
would not
of it, of them, of that, of her, of me/my, of our, of course
to do, to this, to have, to meet, to send, to stay, to reply
for this, for that, for you may, for many, for myself, for anyone
if we can, if they may, if you can, if you would, if no-one
and they, and this, and we, and I, and is/his/as/has, and there is/has, and be seen, and have done
should have, should be, should not be, should now, should there/their, should
this, should we
on his, on which, on many, on your, on our, on those, on that, on their/there
but they, but we may, but must, but can we, but that, but that is, but this, but
their/there
I have this, I had them, I do that, I shall be, I thank you, I think that you
are, I know that we
you are, you would, you would be, you can/come, you go, you may, you should
we can, we have, we shall be, we do/had*, we may, we are
*If necessary, you can indicate that it is "had" by inserting Dot Hay
and the A vowel, see Phrasing 7/had
not
he is/has, he is/has not, he was, he cannot be, he may have, he may be pleased,
he is unable
she is, she was, she may have, any more, any time, in any case
they may be, they can be, they must, they thought we, they have, they do not,
they just
this can have, this can be, this could not, this may*, this time, this does
*This sharp change of direction
only occurs in a few phrases; in normal outlines the circle goes outside the
strokes, see Theory 19

as/has it -- as it is/has -- is it -- as/has this
-- is
this -- as/has that -- is/his that -- as they may
please take, please have, please do not, take place, taking place, taking away
If the first outline of the
phrase is normally written above the line, it is sometimes possible
to raise or lower the entire phrase to
enable the next word to also be in position, saving you having
to insert extra vowel signs. However, the first outline should still
be clearly in its correct position:
of those, of this, of these, in much, in which, in each, I talk, I
take, I took
You can do this even if there are more outlines in the phrase
than shown above:
of those that have been, of this type of, of these who can, in much the same, in
which you may, in each of them
Some combinations would not be
clear or even legible, so must be written separately:
and of -- and to -- and should -- we should -- should I -- I should
As the second and subsequent
words are generally out of position, a vowel sign may occasionally
be necessary:
at any time, at no time

no

2. Change of Form
It is possible to extend the use
of abbreviating devices such as hooks, halving, doubling, circle and
loops, which may not be possible or advisable if each outline
were written separately. The phrase in its entirety contains more
information than a single word, so remains legible despite the
greater degree of abbreviation:
I hope that you will be able
to, in reply to your recent letter, you
will have received
and I have been there, we have only just, take into consideration
the fact
Compare full outlines for these words:
hope will reply letter received
there only consideration fact
Top of page
(a)
Hooks
General
Final hooks can
represent whole words e.g. N for "on, own, been", F/V for "of, off,
have", Shun for "association".
R and L hooks can
replace the full stroke to achieve a more compact outline or to
enable a good join.
Occasionally an
original hook is omitted to enable the phrase to be formed.
Retain hook:
yours truly, take care, in this way
Omit hook:
it has been required, in this direction, vice chairman
There are only a small number of phrases that omit the hook
Reintroduce hook
Sometimes a merged hook/circle is shown fully, to enable the
phrase to be formed :
I am surprised, I will consider, balance sheet, we are instructed,
hair spring
Compare
surprised consider balance instructed spring
Hook represents word:
our own, carried on, have
been, take off, which have/of
Top of page
If a hook is already being used
at the end of an outline, you cannot use that hook to also represent a
word in a phrase:
representative of, irrespective of, objective*
of, proof of, turn on
*The outline for "objective" (a contraction) is the same as the phrase "object
of"
In a single word outline, the normal order of
reading is the hook first, and then the halving or doubling
sound,
but in a few phrases this is sometimes be overridden. The convenience
gained outweighs this incursion into the main theory rule:
part of, report of, in support of, sort of, some sort of
in spite of, instead of, present state of,
high state of
Compare
raft, roofed, surfed, deserved, puffed, spoofed,
draft/draught, tuft/toughed
later on/than, further on/than, rather than, shorter than
Compare
lender, fender, render, shunter
Mostly the order of reading the components is
kept as normal i.e. Stroke + Hook + ther/ter/der:
been there, will have been there, out of there/their, rid of
their
Compare the nouns:
binder lavender dafter drifter
Top of page
Adding hooks to short forms: Phrases consisting of a short
form plus hook are not always so instantly recognisable, because short forms do
not contain all the consonants of the word. When the "missing" part
is at the beginning, those are easier to read back, but when the missing part
comes in the middle or end of the short form, phrasing them with a hook may be more
confusing than helpful:
going on, wipe off but
go on, go off, put off
The following are acceptable, and of course you can also add a
Circle S to the hook for "us, his" etc:
people of, member of, number of, tell of/off, much of, which of/have, chair of
call of/off, equal of, school of, care of, ought to have, who have, you have
had been, larger than, our own, rather than, more than, have been, very own,
your own, their own, therefore been
The following should be used at your discretion, as the words
have "missing" consonants immediately before the hook:
speak of, principle of, liberty of, truth
of, doctor of, delivery of, usually been
Separate outlines for difference of,
subject of, belief of compare difficult subjective.
As the "belief" does not have its own F in the outline, an additional F Hook
might cause confusion, as if the outline had been filled out because the correct
short form was not known well enough.

There are several ways to represent "been" and "have been" in
phrases, in addition to the normal Short Form:
– Hook where convenient:
I have been, we have been, would not have been, they have
been, there will have been
have been expecting, have been known, have been received,
may have been, it has never been, has it ever been
we had been, already been, only been, recently been,
definitely been, certainly been
Compare these to similar
outlines "definitely not, certainly
not" below
– Full short form:
it has been, it has not been, he has been, she has been,
there has been, you have been
– Omit the N Hook on the short form "been" to
enable the next outline to join:
been received, been required, it has been said*, it has been
delivered, it has been suggested
*See also variations on this
Phrasing 4/has to be said
she has been able to, he has been able, which has been
made, which have been made, you have been made
– For "have been"
where the Bee joins better than the Vee, omit the "have":
seems to have,
seems to have been, must have, must
have been
would have,
would have been,
note also
they would have been
where there is no advantage in omitting the "have"
See also
Phrasing 3/would happen
– If you omit the "have", don't omit the N
hook on "been" as well in the same phrase, because that
would represent "be":
it must have been, it must have been said
compare
it must be said
it would have been said compare
it would be said
Top of page
N Hook with halving = not:
will not, I will not, you will not, it will not be, he will
not be, which will not, they will not
they will not be, this will not, definitely
not*, certainly not*, almost certainly not*
*Keep the halved Ell short, so that these do not
look like "definitely been" etc above
Note definitely not been, certainly not
been where you cannot use the N Hook for "been" as it is
already used for the "not".
I am not, I am not quite sure, may not, you may not be, it may
not be, they may not be, which may not
you will not, you are not
is possible but you are not
in full is preferable, as it is less likely to be misread as "you will not".
Are not on its own, or starting a phrase, should always be in full.
were not, you were not, or not, whether it is or not
Note:
whether or not
has it not, has it not been, is it not, would it not, would
it not be
they are = they are not, and they are not, but they are not,
for they are not, I think they are not
The following are clearer in full, and
this also enables them join better, making many other
phrases possible:
are not, have not, was not, shall
not
we shall not, I shall not, shall not be, shall not have, shall
not find
we have not, they have not, you may have not, he may have not
Where any halving would be invisible, write in
full:
we are not, we were not, they were not, many were not
hand = on either hand compare
on the other hand

Where the word ends in S or Dot Ing, you can't use a
final hook to represent a word in a phrase:
take on/taken, taken on, takes on, set off, sets off, setting off
parts of speech, numbers of people, numbering of people
Circle S for "as has is his us" can be
added to the hook, because the normal order is to read the S last of
all:
you have us/his, who have us/his, ought to have us/his, which have
us/his, take of/off his, number of us/his, member of his

Shun Hook - Large:
ocean = Atlantic Ocean, Pacific
Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean

information = for your information, further information

Phrasing 8 Intersections/communication
The direction of Shun hook may change to
balance the phrase's outline, as it does in normal outlines,
and you may need to put in an occasional vowel sign to
prevent errors in reading back:
section, in this section, in my section, occasion, on which
occasion, on this occasion
Shun Hook – Small:
"Association" is the textbook recommended use of the
small shun hook. There are others available to choose from, and
they need some thought as to the safest combinations in which to use them.
They seem mostly interchangeable, i.e they could all make sense in
the same sentence, so it would be better to settle on
a few very common unvarying phrases for each of them, and so avoid
misreadings:
association =
political association, medical association, football
association, Articles of Association*
*Note that the two S sounds are represented by one circle,
as "Articles" is always plural in this phrase
session = this session,
next session
Two S sounds represented by one circle
conversation =
telephone conversation, confidential conversation, Skype
conversation, Internet conversation*
*The circle + small shun hook combination is never used on a halved
or doubled
stroke for normal outlines, only in a phrase where it represents
a word.
taxation
= direct
taxation, indirect
taxation See note above
season =
summer season, autumn season
The pronunciation is "zun" rather than "shun", a liberty taken with
the Shun Hook in order to gain some useful phrases
decision = final
decision,
financial decision,
unanimous decision
The following is a quicker alternative to the fuller phrase:
position =
in a position, I am not in a
position, untenable position*
*See also
Phrasing 5/in a position
When used with a simple word like "your" or "their", which
provides no context, extra care is needed. It is helpful to write the first occurrence in full and
use an abbreviation for subsequent occurrences within the same piece, so that
you have the full form to refer back to:
your association/decision/conversation/position
their association/decision/ conversation/position
financial position/decision
Out of context you have no way of knowing which is meant.

(b) Circles & Loops
Circle S
= us, as, has, is, his. For simplicity, only one of
these is shown in the text with each example, but you should vary
these when you are practising them:
of us, to us, and is, should his, on
his, but his, with us, when is, what is, would his
for us, take us, to give us, let us see, before us, above us
tell us, tell us the, to give us the, send us the, please inform us, please let us have, please
let us know
as fast as, foster his, against us, just as, missed his
such as it is, inasmuch as, as near as possible, as many as, as far
as
say =
you can say that,
we can say that, I would say that, we would say that, asked to say that
to say a
few words, I am sorry to say that, very sorry to have
to say that, to say the least
"Should" can be represented by the Circle S in a few phrases, which
allows phrases to be made when the normal short form cannot be joined:
we should be, we should not be, we should have, we should now, we
should never
Do not use the circle for "should" where it
could be read for "is":
it should be* it
is to be, it has to be, if it should be, if
it is to be, if it has to be
*The short form joins well
here anyway
With N Hook:
at once, upon us, depend upon
us
With R Hook:
as per, as promised, as
permitted, as
directed
As with forming
normal outlines, an initial Circle S may change its
direction when it comes in the middle of a phrase:
it is, it is important, please take, please make, speaker,
Mr Speaker
certain, to certain,
secretary, general secretary, Home Secretary
In the last two examples, the Circle S has become
medial and therefore its direction cannot be thought of as signifying an R Hook.
After "this,
these, those" the original direction is kept, as being
more legible as a phrase than reversing the circle:
this man, this means, this may have,
this must be, these
matters
In single-word
outlines the circle is written outside, see
Theory 19 Suffixes General/change of curve direction.

* Tick The is not used after Ses Circle but this
is an exception due to its frequency
S + S in
separate words is often pronounced as one S, unless there is
a slight pause, but outlines shows both, to aid legibility:

Omitting T in the middle:

certain, there is still
system = school system, heating system, plumbing system,
writing system
If Ses cannot be written, it may be
acceptable to only use one S, as long as the sense remains
clear:
chairman's statement, chairman's speech
Ses Circle is not used if there are three S's:
this is/themselves, this satisfactory
but
this is satisfactory

Large Circle at the beginning is normally
Sway, but the following phrases are common enough to be
worthwhile using it for S + S:

as we have said, as we have been, as we have been there,

as we know, as we think, as we think there is, as we do, as

as we do not, as we did not,
as we do not think, as we do not have, as we cannot, as we
need
as we trust, as we promised, as we produced, as we permitted
compare
as promised, as produced, as permitted
As well, as will:
as well/as will, as well as,
as well as possible, as well as can be, as well as most
as will be, as will be seen, as will be appreciated, as will have been
Sway is not used if it cannot join, or cannot
join clearly:
as we understand,
as we would, as we went, as we considered, as we instructed
Sway is not used if the outline already
starts with Circle S – the large circle signifies SW, and
cannot also include S that follows:
as we said, as we stated, as we started, as we suggest, as
we supposed
Sway is not used within phrases, just as it
is not used in the middle of a normal outline:
as we can but
as soon as we can, as soon as we are able, you may as well

Stee Loop
Stee Loop can remain in the
phrase only if it makes a good join (but see also

may change when it becomes medial:
foundation, stepping, stone = foundation stone, stepping
stone
state, stated, statement = to state, they state, they stated
we stood,
we stayed*, we state,
we stated, I
regret
to state compare single
outlines: stay, stayed/staid, stood

halving the Wel for "it" and adding the normal outline "not",
but if you have already written the phrase "will it" you
should then continue with the normal outline for "not"
to =

some time (= "sumt-ime"), for some time to come, at
some time or other, at the same time, at one time
at all times, my time, more time, lunch time, at which time,
at such times
modern times, reasonable time, spare time, extra time, full time
valuable time, available time, before time, considerable
time, very considerable time
most suitable time,
from time to time, from time immemorial
Take care with these:
proper time
but
appropriate time
in full, free time in full vs.
freedom
The following has three versions with varying degrees of
abbreviation, the first one is textbook, the other two are
more advanced:
for some
considerable time, for some considerable
time, for some considerable time
These are clearer in full:
little time, several times, in due time
compare in day time

Phrasing 3/Imp/for
some time past
Where the outline is already halved, only the M stroke needs to
be written:
short time ago, second
time, third time, hard times but
part time
text =
my text, the words of
my text, from my text*
*These phrases were first created before mobile
phone texting existed, and originally would have referred to the text of a letter or
report.
Single words that do not use halving may be
able to do so within a phrase, because there is extra
information in the outline, thus keeping it legible:
afraid, we are afraid, right,
right angle

Phrasing8 Intersections/right
angle
date, earliest possible date, brought, brought forward
Compare the nouns:
bet alphabet boat lifeboat rate birth-rate
You cannot use halving to represent a word if it is
already in use in the outline, or if the basic outline is avoiding halving (as
in "edit"):
fit it, fitted it, watched it, doubt it, doubted it, edit it

(d) Doubling
= other, there,
their, dear (For convenience the text captions show only one of
the pair there/their) See
also Phrasing 6/Distinguishing
Pairs/N+ther
The rules for doubling
are the same as for single words i.e. do not double a single
straight stroke that has no attachments:
be there
but been there, we can be there; out
there
but
take out their, out of their, take out of their
A final S for "is" or "has" is read after the doubling, as in
normal outlines:
in which there is,
acknowledge there is, hope there has
Compare:
in which is their,
acknowledges their, hopes there, hoping there
Other:
some other, by some other means, in other directions, in
other ways
one or other, one or another
compare
one or the other which omits
the R
somehow or other, somehow or another, for some reason or
other
"any other, no other" omit the R Hook, so
that they do not clash with any of
the above. Vocalise the "no" when it is out of position
within a phrase:
any other, no other, for any other, for no other,
every other way
Top of page
There/their:
upon there, help their, wipe their, above their, cannot be
there
into there, out of their, get there, carried on their, get
rid of their
take their, make their way, practise their, how can there be
seek their opinion, in connection with their*,
bigger than their, we had gone there
*This combination of doubling and Shun is only
used in phrasing, never in an ordinary outline.
in which there, in which there are, which have their, enjoy
their, engage their, acknowledge their
join their, imagine their, if there
was,
I do not know if there is
but
for there was, for there is to distinguish them.
I have there, will have their, over there, from their last
letter
more than their, whenever there is, whatever there is,
wherever there is
wherefore there is
(Note
wherefore),
I think there is, I think
there was
we think there may, then their, then there is, through
their, through their own
although there has been, though there have been, though
there was, though there were
I was there, he was there, when he was there, I am sure
there is, be sure there is, shall there, shall there be
I know there is, taking their, making their way, including
their
as
a rule there is, until there has been, will there, will there be, while there is
follow their instructions, or there/order, or there is/orders,
hear/here their
compare here and there
in their, in their case, in their view, in their interest
in their opinion, in their hands, in their time, in their
own way
Top of page
Dear:
my dear sir, my dear madam, my dear friends, my very dear friend
Therefore:
If the original form joins well, that should
be used:
I have therefore, we think therefore, will therefore
If the original does not join well, use
doubling for the "there" part:
I shall therefore, we shall therefore, I was therefore
compare
I was there for a week
i.e. "therefore", whether normal outline or
in a phrase, is not used to represent "there for"
You cannot use doubling
to create a phrase, if the outline for the word is already doubled
or halved:
after their, further their, order their, and therefore there
I thought there would be, it is not their, we
have considered their, we have received their

(e) Suffixes
Many suffixes are words in their own right and these can be usefully
combined in phrases. They are written in proximity, the same as when
they are used as suffixes, and not joined or
intersected:
ability = best
of my ability, best of our ability, best
of their ability, in his ability
reality = in reality, facing reality, artificial reality
mentality = high mentality, low mentality, superior
mentality, criminal mentality
of this mentality, average mentality, of such mentality
but of such a
mentality
amount = certain amount
This is
copying the
suffix "-ment" that omits
the M
logical = it is logical, it is not logical, it may be
logical, perfectly logical, cannot be logically
ship, shipment = many ships, abandoned the ship, with this
shipment, received the shipment
fullness = in the fullness of time
As a suffix, it is spelt "-fulness"
