        Consonant 'R' and 'L' have been defined as liquids as they mix up with the other consonants as initial hooks.
1. A small initial hook written with the right motion adds 'R' to the straight strokes and is to be pronounced as per its syllabic name i.e. basic consonant and hook.


2. There may be a preceding consonant than hooked from which is read to the final consonant.
3. 'R' hook is written inside the curve strokes.
4. Vowel and diphthong signs are placed as they are written to the simple forms.
5. Upward form of 'Ray' is not hooked initially for 'R' as we may misread it with the consonant 'Yay.

3. Vowel and diphthong signs are placed as they are written to the simple forms.
4. Upward form of 'Ray' is not hooked initially for 'L' or 'R' as we may misread it with the consonant 'Way' & 'Yay'.
