- Lift the pencil after the L, then write the i (undercurve, slant, undercurve; dot): a short undercurve and slant, with the dot added after the word is finished.
- Swing up into the a (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve): a small oval closed at the midline, then a slant down and an undercurve out.
- Swing up into the m (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): three humps made with overcurves, all the same height.
- After the word, dot the i.
