Stenography Pattern
This image shows the stenography stroke pattern for "Impetus"
Outline Explanation
The initial curved stroke is the heavy (thick) "Mp" stroke. This single stroke represents the combined "Imp" sound.
T (Through the line):
The straight vertical line going downward is the full-length "T" stroke. The T stroke is written through the line to indicate the short vowel “e” before T (-et-).
Here, position of T supplies the vowel, not a vowel sign.
Small Circle (S):
A final small circle is added to represent the ending ‘s’ sound.
Structure:
Imp (Emp stroke) + t (T stroke) + us (Circle S) = Impetus
Position Principle:
The through-the-line position of T conveys the medial short vowel, allowing vowels to be omitted without loss of clarity.
