THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES g.O. BAKER A SHORTHAND DICT10NAK \ r . A SHORTHAND DICTIONARY COMPRISING A COMPLETE ALPHABETICAL ARRANGEMENT OF ALL ENGLISH WORDS, WRITTEN WITHOUT VOWELS, ADAPTED TO ^gslems of jSborfbanb DESIGNED FOB THE USE OF GENTLEMEN CONNECTED WITH THE PRESS, THE BAR, THE PULPIT, AND OTHER PROFESSIONS. BY J. B. DIMBLEBY. LONDON: GROOMBRIDGE AND SONS, 5. PATERNOSTER ROW. PREFACE. THE design of this book is to assist inexperienced writers to read \vbat they have written, and to make the introduction of vowels less necessary by proficient reporters. To every one, however, who writes shorthand no matter what system it will be found useful. In plain words, it is a Dictionary ; and ift, as its compilation has taken more than six years of close 3 application, and the writer throughout has had a great desire > for making it complete, and worthy of universal approval, he 1 feels sure that, no matter how thoroughly practical and 2 experienced a writer may be, it will not be undeserving of a place on his desk. ro The introduction of participles, adverbs, affixes, and other derivatives greatly enhances the value of the book to even the - most proficient shorthand writer ; some of them, however, ~* may appear unnecessary ; but I wish to state, that in such instances they are given to show that the arranged characters ui can represent no other word. Thus, after PEL it might appear J3 unnecessary to give PELS for perils ; but PRLS also represents "D i- peerless, and other words ; if, therefore, LMTS is given after LMT (limit), it shows that I/MTS can only be limits. With, a view of making the work still more complete, it will be seen that it is adapted to those systems which do not ignore C ; nevertheless, all words beginning with C will also 448351 PiiU'ACE. be found under S when soft, and K when hard. In addition to this, when C ia not an initial letter it will, in order to adapt the work to systems without C, be found classified according to its sound. Thus KCD (recede) will also be found along with RSD. In point of fact, I have nob been deterred by difficulties, intricate and Inextricable as many of them appeared, from making the work really acceptable. A common dictionary could not be made the basis of compilation, because, whilst the omission of vowels rendered the classification entirely distinct, the changing of C into S or K, to accommodate all systems, also made such distinction all the more unique. The following examples will illustrate the transference of C into K or S : CLR KLR colour. LCTR LKTR lecture. PLCD PLSD placid. PLNC PLNS opulence. It will therefore be seen that the changing of C into S or K alters the classification of a word, not merely when C is the initial letter, but also when it is the second, third, or last. I have, however, not thought it necessary to change C, if, not- withstanding such change, the word occupied a contiguous position ; for example, I have not written RPRDS (reproduce) in addition to RPRDC, there being no more words following with RPRD, and a duplicate contiguous spelling would be superfluous. (See introduction to letter C.) With respect to the want of a shorthand dictionary, some of the troubles and difficulties of a junior or occasional reporter are given in a work entitled " The Young Reporter." It is said that a young man, who was sent to take a report of a meeting, fouud himself so unable to afterwards read what he had written, that he flung his book into the river, and told his principal ho had unfortunately left it in a cab. Another PREFACE. vii gentleman, who, in the pressure of business, was sent on a similar errand, was no more heard of, till it was reported that he was doing well in America. But a third gentleman was so deeply impressed with a sense of his incompetency for reading his notes, that, rather than face the editor, he went out and hanged himself. I well remember my own troubles when I began to report for the press, and many weary hours of the night have I spent in transcribing notes for the want of a book like this, which to me would then have been worth its weight in gold. In fact, it requires time and practice to familiarize the mind with words divested of such important sounding letters as vowels ; for instance, I well remember the anxiety of mind I experienced because I could not make out what word an eminent M.P. had used in an after-dinner speech, which, in my note-book, was represented by PLGS. I had to leave it to a later contemporary to inform the hon. member's constituents that he did not think it necessary to apologize in reference to a certain vote in the House. I did not lose my situation, but I dare not say what the consequence was. How many tales of this kind can an elderly member of the "Fourth Estate" recall. Doubtless much of a junior's perplexity arises from indis- tinct writing; but it must be admitted, that even when characters are properly formed, they are not always easily read, and for this reason thousands of business men who have acquired the ability for writing a little shorthand have had to " give it up." Yet shorthand must be of great value to pro- fessional and commercial men. It requires, for instance, twenty-one distinct strokes of the pen to write such a word as streams, and no less than seven for every Jt that is written. It is, however, now admitted, that shorthand is indispen- sable in every large business establishment, and this has given rise to the oft-repeated question, " Which is the best system ?" viii PREFACE. My answer to this question is alwaj r s, " That which is most easy to acquire." Proficiency does not depend so much on the system used as the ability for using it. dell's, or Taylor's Improved, which are substantially the same, are, I believe, most used by newspaper reporters. This is probably owing to their being so easy to write and so ready to acquire. Great efforts have recently been made to bring Mr. Pitman's system of phonography into more general use, and, when acquired, it is probably an excellent system. Mr. Melville Bell, however, has introduced a new system of phonetic shorthand as an improvement on Pitman's. There may yet be others, but care must be taken that, in aiming at making a system short, it is not made long. I must confess that some of the " improved phonetics" have a very wriggled appearance, and the multitude of details with which they are burthened must greatly militate against their general adoption for public use. The fact is, Pitman's system of phonography, like OdelFs stenography, will be a sort of central basis for many others, round which they will revolve like so many satellites, the writers of a phonetic style preferring sound as their guide, and those who follow Odell, complacently relying on the readiness of a simple and uniform plan. J. 13. DIIIBLEBV. CHBLMSFOUD. THE SHOETHAND DICTIONARY. B. THIS being the first consonant in the English alphabet, it becon.es the first letter in all systems of shorthand. As the initial letter of words, it is only superseded in point of numbers by C, S, P, and D (the latter about 350); but it is almost entirely initiative, for there is no other letter in the shorthand alphabet which so seldom forms a subsequent letter. In addition to this, there are only 136 instances in which it takes the initiative by dropping the preceding vowel, viz., a 70 times, f 3 times, i never, o 61 times, and u twice. In rapid speaking it is not murdered like the semi-vowels, as it cannot be sounded at all without prt . ing the whole length of the -lips together. As a rule, therefore, B gives less trouble to the reporter than any other letter, pi*oviding he be careful of the prefixes. PREFIXES. B forms the following prefixes: 62', bi-weekly ; /', bespoke. Ab and ob are most common in the instances referred to above.

It is no use writing what cannot be read, afterwards, and in these days of expeditious publishing it is essential that what is written should be such as can be readily transcribed. For these reasons experience has always convinced me that a consonant which so frequently occurs, not only in forming the initiative letter, but also the subsequent parts of words, cannot be dispensed with without inconve- nience. However, with a view to adapt this dictionary to all systems, I have carefully placed under K and S, according to their sound, all words beginning with C, in addition to their proper appearance under this letter. It may also be here remarked, that, as a rule, the plain and distinct commence- ment of a word is the most essential portion of it, and for that reason the use of signs, where a vowel takes a large share in the first syllable, is to be much commended: for example, ar. (a perpendicular hyphen), ex (a hyphen), con or com (a dot), ad (an oblique hyphen joined to d), and at (the same joined to t). Of course, in all these examples the signs are detached from the following consonant, except in the two latter instances, where the vowel a is an oblique hyphen, and therefore so easily joined to d or t in writing addition or attention. But then there are words which the sign ac can have nothing to do with; and in addition to this, as already intimated, C is a powerful letter in the middle of words. I find, indeed, that in two-thirds, or almost three-fourths, of the instances where c does not commence a word, that it is soft in sound, and there- fore, in systems where no c is used, it greatly tends to over- burthen the letter S, which ranks next to C in point of numbers in the commencement of words, and for its frequent occurrence in the formation of syllables, is the most common sound in the 12 SHOBTHAND DICTIONARY. English language. If the schoolmaster sees the propriety of cautioning his pupil to " mind his p's and q's," let the short- hand writer, -who has a far more difficult and important task to perform, mind his c's and s's. I make these remarks not with a view to induce any gentleman to alter his system, with which he is familiar, if he have no c in his alphabet, but for the guidance of the learner. There are only a few systems in which c is excluded, and to the novice in shorthand I say, without attempting a pun, "You will often find yourself at sea if you do not stick to C." It is also very useful in showing plurals, e.g., brcs, braces, which without C could only be written though it were brace. I know several gentlemen who write Odell's system of shorthand, but have adopted a C, and thus made the most extensively -used, and perhaps the best, system more perfect. C becomes the first letter in words 114 times by omitting the vowels, as follows : a 76 times, e 15 times, i 3 time:?, o 20 times, and u never. PREFIXES. C forms ac, as in accident; oc, as in occur; co, as in co-action, co-operation, etc. TEKMIXATIOXS. It is also used for the terminations cy and sy, as in pleurisy and fallacy. The y's in both these cases are superfluous. Of course, like a prefix, it is better written sepa- rate from the next letter. C, cue, ice, coo, Co.

Unlike B (which it exceeds 350 times), it frequently occurs in the middle of words, and is also an affix when used as ed; for example, tum-cd. Besides this, it is often separated by double vowels and diphthongs from another D, as deed, dead, died, or similarly separated from other consonants ; so that, perhaps, with the exception of G, no other letter gives so much 1 rouble to the reporter, or requires so much care in transcribing. These difficulties, however, are fortunately not increased by the use of D when it properly forms the initiative letter of words ; because there is no other pure consonant that, on such occasions, is so seldom followed by another. It is remarkable also that, owing to D not being a semi-vowel, it is 95 times in every 100 followed by a vowel, SHOETHAND DICTION ABY. and that chiefly by e, which is quite superfluous, owing to the impossibility of sounding D without this vowel being implied. By dropping the preceding vowel, D also becomes initiative 84 times, viz., a 53 times, e 17 times, i 4 times, o 9 times, and u once. PUEFIX. Ad, as in addendum.

DY DWNWKD, downward DWNY, dowiiy DWR, dower DWEF, dwarf DWBFSH, dwarfish , do\verlc33 DWKY, dowry Pw.-, dew?, deuce, dues PWY, dewy Dr, day, eddy F F is the first semi-vowel in the alphabet, and is only a small letter. In Dr. Johnson's Dictionary there are less than one thousand words beginning with F. In sound it approximates to Y, and for this reason, in perhaps all systems of shorthand, the same character represents both letters. It has the same sound as pli, derived from the Greek <>, though it is rightly supposed that this has not always been the case. It is quite unnecessary, therefore, to write pli in shorthand, but rather, for the sake of expedition, use F. However, to make this Dictionary complete, I have in this instance, as well as in those of a similar nature throughout the work, placed words beginning with pli under P as well as F, and observed a, similar rule when these letters occur elsewhere. It is well, however, to recognize some distinction between. F and Y, either by writing the latter thicker than the former, or placing it under the line, which, practically, is the best plan of the two. For instance, if a rule of this sort is not observed, if and of read the same as have and heave, and vice versa. Again, even or heaven (on) read fain or fun, etc., etc. However, to meet all possible perplexities, I have grafted in all words beginning with Y when they are of the same formation as those in F.

THERE is no letter which puzzles a learner of shorthand so much as G. It is not a letter of frequent occurrence, but it turns up at times so oddly, that, if it is not plainly written when it is required, no small perplexity will arise. It has drawn many a sigh from a reporter's heart. Sometimes it is silent, as in gnaw, gnarl, gnostic; if followed by h it takes the sound of/, as in laugh, enough; or of w, as in plough. But if t be added to gh, then we have eight, fight, light, sight, tight, right, etc.; and, what is still worse, if G is preceded by the vowel n, which reporters never write, then we have ought, f'Ui,jht, Boughi, tm'ght, etc., etc. It is common as an affix in ing, as doing; but then it is almost, if not entirely, silent. It is also somewhat similar in sound to J, and for that reason has to do duty for that consonant. It is not easy to the eye when written in many words, as eulogy, plague, and others of that class. It was once said by an experienced reporter, that if there was a word he could not read, there was when ho puzzled it out sure to be a G in it. G becomes the initial letter by the disuse of vowels in the following numbers : a 6'9 times, e 19, i 22, and o and u once each. PREFIX. Tg, which is always negative, as in ignoble. AFFIXES.

THERE is no letter in the shorthand alphabet which is so often preceded by a vowel as IS". This is owing to the negative prefixes in- and un-, which play such an important part in the English language. The omission of the vowel u makes N the first letter in words no less than 1800 times, and the observance of the same rule with respect to i, increases the number 1600 ; so that the use of these negative prefixes increases the initial power of N no less than 3400 times ; and when to this are added 260 in the case of a, 400 in e, and 35 in o, we have a total of 4095. In the case of the negative prefixes, it is highly necessary that they should be written separately, thus n-rsd for unraised. It is an awful mistake to write or read a positive for a negative, and therefore negatives must be clearly written. In addition to this, by writing negative words in this form they are so well distinguished from others. For instance, n-rsd would not be read for nursed, for which these letters are also written. The negative prefix, though detached, should be placed sufficiently near the other part of the word to show that it forms a part of it, and it is all the better to place it half way up. Some stenographers do not adopt this plan, and there is all the more necessity for a dictionary of all words which can begin with N. The task of so arranging them has involved immense and complicated labour, but their com- pletion is all the more useful and satisfactory, not only for showing what can be formed by a set of consonants, but also that such letters represent nothing else.

P occurs, it is principally the first letter in words. For instance, in a page of a work entitled "The Bible not of Man," by Dr. Spring (read without selection), I found fifteen words beginning with P and five with P as a central letter ; but three of the latter had also P for the first letter. The reason of this is, P is followed chiefly by r, as in the common prefixes par, per, pro, and especially pre. Next to r, P is followed by Z, in point of numbers, either as a consecutive 124. SHORTHAND DICTIONARY. letter, or by omitting the intervening vowel. This is un- doubtedly the reason why gentlemen who write Odell's or Taylor's improved systems use Pitman's pr and pi, which is formed by merely omitting to complete the small circle or eyelet in the beginning of P, and leaving it a pothook, having the hook to the left when pr, and to the right when pi. [The same plan can be used with respect to br and U, and tr and tl, with advantage, if desirable.] The power of P as an initial letter, is further increased by the omission of the preceding vowel a about 100 times, c 80, i 1, o 85, and u 35.

R is a semi- vowel, which acts an important part in many words, and the omission to sound it by careless people, especially in the south of England, is a deplorable nuisance to a person writing after a speaker. To ignore the letter h is far more pardonable than v; and rapid speakers, whose gibberish is carried on by murdering r and t, often have to complain of being misunderstood if they see their remarks in print.

THERE are not so many -words in the English language begin- ning with S as C, but it is nevertheless the most frequently occurring consonant in all English composition. We seldom have double c, but often find double s, and in addition to this, s is used to form the plural number of nearly all nouns, and the indicative mood of verbs. Thus a book, the looks ; I love, -. For these reasons, as well as the fact that C is the most frequent initial letter, S ought not to be encumbered by 155 SHORTHAND DICTIONARY. doing duty for C. It is as easy to write a c as an s; and as what is written requires to be read afterwards, why should a writer lose time in puzzling out such letters as prs for precious (see PBS), rds for reduces, and other instances where c pre- cedes s ? In transcribing, much time must be lost in puzzling out such words, unless a couple of vowels are written, at the expense of losing as many words, or, what is still worse, the sense of a speaker's remarks. A good reporter is jealous of the slightest hindrance, and is always on the look out for any- thing which expedites his work.

T. THIS is the twentieth letter in the English alphabet, but only the thirteenth or fourteenth in stenography. It is a pure con- sonant, but owing to being not often preceded by a vowel in the beginning of words, it is comparatively a small letter. T is preceded by a 45 times, e 8, i 10, o 6, and u 20. There is also a compound (out) often before words, c. g., ouf-spoken ; but it is advisable to use a grammalogue for out, and thus t will not stand alone in such words. The compound occurs nearly 100 times.

X seldom occurs in the middle of words, and for this reason it is sometimes not found in shorthand alphabets, writers preferring to use ks on such occasions. It is almost entirely as an initiatory letter that x occurs, by dropping the preceding vowel e; for example, ex-plain. It then stands as a prefix, and, if represented by a hyphen, is easily written and read. It is well, however, not to join it with the next letter, but to place it rather high up, and in such a way as to readily show that it is a part of the word represented by the following letters. Mr. Pitman's system of phonography adopts this plan. It is also used in the same way by some shorthand writers, though tho sign is not a hyphen. A glance at Dr. Out should be represented by a grammalogue, and the best for this pur- pose is a small o. It is also useful in compound vrjrds, such as outbreak, etc. e>e introduction to T. 196 BHOBTHAND DICTIONARY. Johnson's Dictionary will at once show the excellence of this arrangement. In Chambers' " Comprehensive Dictionary," which is, perhaps, the largest word-book published, there are about five hundred instances of ex as a prefix ; whilst under the letter x, as an initiatory character, there are not more than forty, and these, which have the sound of z, are names, not words.
