The converse of F, sometimes used in Pitman for R, is 

 used in my system for the C. or dental click in Zulu-Kaffir; 

 while the other R is used by me for the X, or lateral click, in the 

 >ame dialects, but remains R in Suto, etc. 



Combined letters are made half size. Cf. the small tick for 

 Tl, composed of half T and half L, and the nasalized sounds nT 

 and mP.

Doubled letters are twice as large, except in the case of N 

 and M, which are thickened,, leaving the doubling to represent 

 two N's or two M's separated l)y a vowel. 



Tlikkening usually voices a letter, as in Pitman, but this 

 does not apply to the already voiced nasals. 



The (ispirate may usually be omitted in combination with 

 sharps, as it is in the common siK'lling of Swahili and 7ai1u-
