Marino Spanish theory

Marino Spanish theory

This documentation is based on my own interpretation of the theory as described in Estenotipia en Español, by Mario Ballester and Rubén Marino. I am not fluent in Spanish; I make no guarantees of accuracy.

The word-final E vowel may be dropped except when preceded by L, N, R, S, which are all syllable-final consonants: sabe SAB, sane SA/KWE. However, when this final consonant is a cluster, the E may be dropped anyway: atarse A/TARS, meterle WE/TERL.
