Stenography: Intervening Vowels and Position

Chapter-3

Definition of intervening vowel with three examples where an intervening vowel is used and explained the position of outlines.

        Occurrence of vowel between the two strokes is known as intervening or when a vowel intervene between two strokes is known as intervening vowel.

1. When first and second place vowel either (.) dot and dash (-) vowel is intervening, that is to be written after the first stroke according to the place value of the vowel.
2. The third place vowel when intervening between two strokes is to be written before the second stroke at the end because it is more conveniently written there and we obtain the legible outline.
3. In case of combination words vowel sign is placed to the separate word, as there are three places close to which a vowel is written. Similarly there are three positions according to which a word is written.

First position             -          Above the line

                  Second position         -          On the line                        

    Third   position          -          Through the line

        The first sounded vowel determine the position of the outline i.e., if first sounded vowel is the first place value then word is to be written above the line, if the second place value then word is written on the line and if the third place value the word is written through the line.

          In case of horizontal strokes, if a word consists all the consonants of horizontal nature and the first sounded vowel is of third place value, the word is to be written on the line instead of through the line because it is not practicable to write the horizontal stroke through the line.

Examples:

First place vowel intervening.

Second place vowel intervening

Third place vowel intervening.
