However, these contractions are not used when they carry over the two parts of a
compound word or when they would adversely affect pronunciation:

*emo!rapy
enamel (no "name" contraction)
5amel
doghouse (no "gh" contraction)
dogh\se
hereditary (no "here" contraction)

Grade 1
Dots 56, currently known as the letter sign, will be called the grade 1 symbol
indicator and will mean that the character following it is not a contraction. Dots 56
will be used more consistently when a letter stands by itself (such as in a person's
middle initial). Dots 56 is not required before a single a, I, or o, which do not have
contraction forms.
A double dot 56 means that the next word is in grade 1, and a triple dot 56 signals
the beginning of a passage that will not include any contractions. The grade 1
passage is terminated with dots 56, 3.
X marks the spot.
