- Start with a capital A (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve). Start just below the topline. Curve down and around to the left to make a large oval that touches the baseline.
- Swing up into the u (undercurve, slant, undercurve, slant, undercurve): two undercurves side by side, the opposite motion of the n.
- 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 o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, write 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 a (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve): a small oval closed at the midline, then a slant down and an undercurve out.
