Lesson 5: Affixes

The -s suffix is always written as the S stroke. Even if it makes the Z sound[16]. The -ses suffix is written as S with an intersection[17].

The -ed suffix is written as a disjoined D stroke. If the root word ends in D (hence -ded) then an intersection is written through the last D to represent the -ed suffix[18].

The -y suffix (making the long E sound) is written as a final vowel dot[19].

The ing(s), tion(s), and -ly suffixes are all written as a terminal loop. They are distinguished by the context they are written in[20].

The following letters can represent affixes if written disjoined to the rest of the word.
