Stenography: N & F Hooks

 Chapter-14

Final hooks 'n', 'f'', and 'v' explained with suitable examples.

1. A small hook written with the right motion at the end of the word adds sound of 'n' to the straight strokes and upright strokes. A word having initial hook of 'r' and final hook of 'n' both the hooks are written with the right motion.
   
   
   
2. 'N' hook is written inside the curve strokes.
   
   
   
3. 'N' hook may be written in the middle of the word where it gives the legible outline.
   
   
   
4. Where there is a final vowel sound 'n' hook may be avoided.
   
   
   
5. When a facile or clear outline is not obtained by using 'n' hook then retain the consonant.
   
   
   

F and V

1. A small final hook written with the left motion add 'f'' or 'v' to the straight strokes or up-right strokes.
   
   
   
2. A word having initial hook of 'l' and final hook of 'f' or 'v' both the hooks are written with left motion.
   
   
   
3. 'F' and 'v' hook is never written to the curve strokes as such stroke may be retained.
   
   
   
4. If there is final vowel sound 'f' or 'v' hook may be avoided.
   
   
   
5. 'F' hook may also be written in the middle of the word.
