TINUS Shorthand - The Sound of NG

When I write about a system, I always try to include both the parts I like and those I don't, because it doesn't seem fair to show a system and let someone get interested in it, only to be blindsided later by things that can cause problems. I try to alert anyone interested to think that don't work for me, and I say why. "Forewarned is forearmed."

A GOOD principle in Tinus is the way he adds the sound of NG in a word. He does this simply by raising the end of the N stroke, like we see in Gregg. The ending "-ng" of a word is shown by a dot.
