- Swing up into the n (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): two rounded humps made with overcurves.
- Swing up into the d (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve): the same oval as a, then an undercurve up to the topline and a slant back down.
- Swing up into the r (undercurve, slide right, slant, undercurve): an undercurve, a short slide to the right at the midline, then a slant down.
- Swing up into the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- Swing up into the w (undercurve, slant, undercurve, slant, undercurve, checkstroke): two undercurves like a u, plus a checkstroke at the midline.
