Outline Explanation
N Stroke ("In"): The outline begins with the N stroke (the small horizontal curve). This represents the word "In".
The Tick: The distinct downward tick/angle attached to the N represents "The". In phrasing, "the" is often indicated by a small tick written in the direction of Ch or P to create a sharp join.
Doubled M ("Matter"): The second part is the M stroke, but it is written double its normal length.
Doubling Principle: Doubling a curved stroke adds the sound "tr", "dr", or "thr" (and in this case "-ter").
Therefore, M + Double Length = Matter.
Structure:
In (N) + The (Tick/Angle) + Matter (Doubled M) = In the matter.
