Every single articulation whether vowel or consonant is marked by a distinct single line.

The number of ascending and descending lines are duly proportioned to each other and the rules for writing and contracting are few plain and familiar. To which is annexed, a short-hand character for expressing musical or inarticulate sounds without the use of ruled lines; by Holdsworth and Aldridge of the Bank of England.
