The descending strokes of the upper line must “clear” the ascending strokes of the lower line. Interlocking of these strokes may be avoided by the experimental placing of p over d (fig. [55]).

UNCIAL CAPITALS: SCRIPT II.

These modernised Uncials (see fig. [56], & p. [300]) are intended to go with Script I., and their analysis and mode of construction are almost identical with those of Script I. (see pp. [72], [73]). [p082]

Grouping: Uncials have no coupling-strokes; when several are used together, they are not joined, but evenly grouped, allowing as before for curves and straight strokes (see p. [77]).
