Stenography Pattern
This image shows the stenography stroke pattern for "Abdicated"
Outline Explanation
First Part (Abdi-): The B stroke is written at half-length to indicate the addition of the "d" sound (Ab-d). Because the first vowel is "a" (a first-position vowel), this halved B is placed above the line.
Second Part (-cated): The K stroke is followed by a halved T stroke. The halving of the final T indicates the addition of the final "d" (-cat-ed).
Key Principles Applied
Halving for T or D: In words of more than one syllable, a stroke can be halved to add either a "t" or a "d" sound.
Position Writing: The entire outline remains above the line because the governing vowel "a" in "Ab-" is a first-position vowel.
