4 Orthographic Features
1. Liquid -url
furl, curl, hurl
Vowel
u
followed by
rl
. Liquid /l/ softens the r-colored cadence.
2. Doubled -rr
burr, purr vs. blur
burr
and
purr
end in doubled
rr
.
blur
ends in single terminal
r
.
3. Nasal -urn
burn, turn, burst
Nasal
n
closure (/bɜːrn/, /tɜːrn/).
burst
adds consonant blend
-st
.
4. Silent -e Rules
urge • curve
urge
has soft
g
(/dʒ/);
curve
has silent
e
because English words cannot end in
v
!
