Joining of Strokes(Consonants) In Shorthand - learn-with-shivi

 Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing well. In previous posts we have already talked about What is stenography and consonants (Strokes) of shorthand. I hope you all are practising well on all strokes on a regular basis. Practice is very important so never ignore it. 

In this post we will see Joining of strokes. In this post we will see how we can join two or more than two strokes together and create an outline (word) and phrase. In shorthand a word is called an outline.

For joining strokes there are many rules. We will see all the rules in details.

Joining of Strokes 

Joining of strokes means join two or more than two strokes together without lifting the pen or pencil. 

How to join two or more than two strokes together ?

For joining strokes together there are some rules.Rules of Joining strokes are below :

Rules of Joining Strokes

We have to keep some points in mind during joining strokes.

  1. The second stroke will start from the end of the first stroke. The third stroke will also start from the end of the second stroke and continue like this always next stroke will start from the end of the previous stroke. Pen or pencil will never be lifted while creating outline. 

  2. Never change directions of strokes. They will always be the same as a single stroke when they stand alone. Ex. Horizontal strokes always written from left to right K(—),G(—),Straight downward consonants always written from top to bottom P(\), B(\), upward consonants always written from bottom to top Ray(/).

  3. Size of strokes will always same never be change it's remain always ⅙ of an inch. We will learn in which situation we can use half strokes to increase speed but for basic you need to focus on length of strokes

  4. In Pitman Shorthand we all know many strokes are the same but the difference is only their thickness and thinness. So always make sure while creating outlines never miss this important point, always keep this point in your mind.
