Compound Letters

Now let’s look at the letters that move from β→α or α→β.

All pictographs can be rotated or mirrored without changing letters.

These can be either Tog-Opp or Split-Opp depending on which α/β you start from.

D · E · F: β→α (Tog-Opp)

J · K · L: α→β (Tog-Opp)

D · E · F: β→α (Split-Opp)

J · K · L: α→β (Split-Opp)

These compound letters can’t be self-combined like the previous letters.

Instead, they combine with other compound letters to form the words DJ, EK, and FL.

Here they are along with cute phrases to help you remember:
