Hi folks-
I’m wondering how I would write the word keepsake in Simplified.
If I use a left-S, as in keeps, then the sake part of the word doesn’t follow the general rules about circles being formed on the outside of angles.
But if I use a comma-S, as in the word sake on its own, then it blends into the P and isn’t clear.
In the Anniversary dictionary it is just spelt as two totally separate, disjoined words, but I’m not sure that helps clarify matters either because I can’t find a relevant rule in the Anniversary manual!
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

k-p-right s-a-k
The DJS dictionary is the first one that added "keepsake" as a word.
Examples of blended p with s are uncommon. If you want to make a distinction between p-right s-a-k and p-a-k, you may want to slant the right s to the right a little before writing the a.
Amazing, thank you! Is there any chance you could share a picture of the word written correctly so I can get a proper image of it in my mind?
Sure! Click here.
I first encountered the p followed by right s with the word "upset." And it did seem a little awkward at first!
Thanks. I was thinking of an example, but I drew a blank. "Upset" is perfect.
I thought the /p-right s/ was very awkward, too, but it helped me to think of it as the same shape as /b-f/, but on the next smaller scale.
In 'keepsake' it's a little stranger feeling the with the /k-p/ already blended.
