-mp

Special thanks to Thomas Pacheco for funding this lesson.

This lesson covers how to write words with the -mp suffix like "lump" and "jump".

In Plover Theory, the main way to write words ending in "-mp" is to add an asterisk to the right-hand chord for -M (-PL):

{% stenodisplay labels="all" %} *M {% endstenodisplay %}

This gives us the ability to write HUPL for "hum" and HU*PL for "hump".

Mirabai, the creator of Plover Theory, prefers using *PL for -mp. However, Plover's dictionary also includes the StenEd convention of -FRP.

{% stenodisplay labels="all" %} -FRP {% endstenodisplay %}

There are potential advantages to writing -mp this way. For one, it opens up the -L key which lets us write words that end in -mple unambigously:
