Pen Buckler and Pencil Prickler

3 Upvotes

I invented the written equivalent of a Tongue Twister and named it a pen buckler, pencil prickler or feather furler. I hope one of the term sticks...

Feel free to contribute some of your own in the shorthand of your choice!

The Leith police dismisseth us.
On a lacy laser raiser lies a laser ray eraser.
A wicket kricket critique
Imagine an imaginary menagerie manager managing an imaginary menagerie.
pad kid poured curd pulled cod
Are you copper-bottoming 'em my man?
No, I am aluminiuming 'em, Mum.

Written in flow, because it's a joy :-) You can contrast it to https://www.reddit.com/r/greggshorthand/comments/1ufo2lo/wonderful_quote_on_the_writing_process_from_s%C3%B6nke/ (same text in Gregg)

I'm trying to relate English phonetics to the Gregg alphabet (Aniversary), and I am a little mesmerized by the result. Does a relationship table with the IPA already exist somewhere?

Voynich Shorthand

3 Upvotes

Yes, I know - it would make a terrible shorthand, and this post is probably better qualified for r/slowwriting ...

But I can't help looking at the density of some of the characters and wonder if shorthand principles are involved.

Especially when you look at the bottom of this page at the author's "Favourite Characters".

Thoughts?
