291. The initial w hook, which the rules of word-writing authorize upon five alphabetic strokes (el, lay, n, m and ray), may in phrasing be prefixed to any of those strokes to represent we or with. Illustrations: we listen

we always

we never,

, we may

we enjoy

we receive

with my

or with me

with many

we must

we will

We and with, when represented initially by the w hook, are best written in the first position, the position of the word-signs to which in form they so closely approximate; but under the law of "initial displacement," their position is sometimes accommodated to that of the second word of the phrase.
