Examples of this are: cobweb, featherweight, flywheel, footwear, neckwear, hoodwink, horsewhip, lukewarm, milkweed. , whirlwind. FREQUENTLY RECURRING SYLLABLES The principle of analogy is of the greatest value to the writer of a system in which it may be used to its fullest extent, as is the case with Gregg Shorthand. We shall point out q,ere some of the useful analogical forms that are not given as such in the Manual; many of them fall under the abbreviating principle. In order to conserve space, the shorthand forms are not given, as they may easily be ascertained from the word list of this dictionary. Knowing the outline for anyone of the words. and knowing that all similar combinations are written analogically, it will be a simple matter to construct the outlines for yourself. The lists are given for convenience in practice and so that you may study the application of the principle: -ish abolish, banish, blemish, brutish, burnish, cherish, childish, famish, finish, flourish, foolish, furnish, girlish, nourish, perish, polish, punish, relish, Spanish, stylish, tarnish; vanish, varnish. -let booklet, bracelet, circlet, coverlet, eyelet, gauntlet, gimlet, goblet, inlet, outlet, ringlet, streamlet, tablet, violet.
