Index of Basic Shorthand Terms

Abstract:
This document lists basic speed words for shorthand notation. A brief list of single-letter terms
is included, as is a list of modifiers that change the forms of the shorthand terms. Terms are
listed alphabetically, first by shorthand and then by the full word. These lists are drawn
largely from the bank of terms listed in the excellent volume, Mind Performance
Hacks, written by Ron Hale-Evans and published by O'Reilly Media, Inc. For more detailed
instructions on the use of speed words, I recommend this text or some of the many resources
available on the World Wide Web.
