The letter E, and again, I'll show you two variations on the E. And, you know, the more
manuscripts you look at, and this is where these alphabets are derived from manuscripts,
the more variations you'll see because people write with their own idiosyncratic styles.
So, the first E, we're going to start with the same stroke as the C, or the O, or the
A, again that round stroke. The second stroke is going to be a cap, much like the cap on
the C. And the third stroke is going to be a crossbar. So, here we have one, two, three.
Now, you want to be careful to keep that about a third of the way up the vertical space of
the letter, so it's not half way. Now, the second E, is going to start with a curve and
a cap stroke, just like the C, we'll call that a cap stroke. But now this E has a middle
stroke that is right smack in the middle, so we're going to say that one has different
proportions from the first one I showed you. So, one, two, three.
