Examples of spelling-dependent rules to
eliminate conflicts from conventional theories:
"Words ending in -en are written as follows….If the middle
consonants will not both fit on the same stroke or if the second consonant is
clearly sounded in the syllable with the -en, combine it with EN on the last
stroke…Never write /EN as the last stroke of a word.
"When -or ends a word, it is always written with the preceding consonant."
"Use K- for COL- and COM- when the consonant is doubled…Words with a
strong accent on the first syllable may be written in two strokes if preferred…If
you use the two-stroke option be sure to include both consonants in your outline.
When the consonant is not doubled, write the word out."
"Use K- for COR- when the second syllable is accented….If the vowel following
the double consonant is unaccented or if the consonant is not doubled, write out
the prefix "cor-."
"Words ending in (c)ain are written (c)AIN regardless of how they are
pronounced."
"…the stroke /ANT should not end a word. If the final -ANT fits on the previous
stroke, attach it…If the final -ANT will not fit on the previous stroke, write it with
an initial consonant on the last stroke….Though it is safe to write -ENT on a
separate stroke, it generally follows the same pattern as -ANT."
"Outlines should not end in the strokes /IN or /AN. These strokes are used to
begin words. Always include a consonant with the -in or -an."
"Words ending in ANS should also attach a consonant to the last stroke."
"It is permissible to use the strokes AN, EN, and IN, respectively, for medial -an, en, and -in if that is the most natural way to represent the word."
"For words ending in a consonant + LE, you generally write /-L as a separate
stroke….For words ending in -CLE or -KLE, use /-L as a separate stroke if the -K
(for -c) fits on the previous stroke….Use /K-L as a separate stroke if the K
doesn’t fit or isn’t sounded on the previous stroke."
"Do not end a word with the stroke /AL. This stroke is only used to begin a word.
Break after the vowel or double the consonant, if necessary."
"Words ending in a consonant + IL are written as follows….Add an -L to
represent -IL if it fits on the stroke and the "il" syllable is not accented….If the -L
doesn’t fit on the same stroke or if the "il" syllable is accented, break the word

according to sound. Do not end a word with the stroke "/IL."…Break after the
vowel or double the consonant, if necessary."
"Use (c) US for words ending in -US. Use -OUS (with or without an initial
consonant) for words ending in -OUS. Be sure to include the initial consonant
with words ending in -US."
"When a word ends with a vowel (or vowel sound), do not use the vowel alone.
Write it with the nearest consonant, even if it means doubling an undoubled
consonant." (NOTE: This rule actually creates conflicts: e.g., shallow =
SHAL/LOE, creates conflicts shallow/shall low, shallower/shall lower,
shallowly/shall lowly, etc.)
"….a consonant is attached to the last stroke for words ending in -AN, -IN, US….same principle is applied to words ending in the following high frequency
words (-at, -it, -on, -or).
"For words that begin with OR-, include a consonant in the first stroke if possible.
If not possible, use O*R"
"The stroke ER is only used for the words ending in -er. Most words beinning with
ER- are written E/R. When ER is used as the first stroke, an asterisk must be
included in the outline."
"Because the following endings can also begin words, include a consonant on
the final stroke when possible, even if you hear the consonant on the previous
stroke….The few words which just don’t lend themselves to putting the
consonant on the last stroke cause no conflicts." (AK, EM, AR, IF) etc., etc.
The majority of these rules came from ONE theory!
The Phoenix Theory Vowel Omission Principle totally eliminates the need for
these numerous and complex rules.
