I can’t for the life of me remember how to write this combination. How, for example, would you write the Bible name Rahab?
I’m sure I must have learned it, but I’ve got a mind block. The two a’s together look very awkward. Thanks for any help.
The Gregg Group was founded 22 May 2004, prompted by the lack of online shorthand resources. As the primary use for shorthand — business and legal recording — has waned in recent decades, we generally acclaim the skill as a hobby or personal tool. The purpose of the group is to promote the use of Gregg systems of shorthand by providing advice to beginners, support for students, and an association of users of this efficient, attractive, and enjoyable method of writing.

I don't know how other editions would write it, but this is how I would write it in Notehand, borrowing a vowel indicator for the first A. I couldn't figure out how to insert an image in this comment section, so I'll send you to my Flickr account:
LOL! Looks like inserting an image did work!
You can delete my Flickr link, Carlos!

Not seeing it – is there a rule for it?
Looks like my comment is "under moderation," probably because I included an external link. Carlos will have to give it approval.
I don't know of any rule, at least not in Notehand. I'm not sure about the other editions.
"Rahab" would be written just like "Abraham":
I understand there is a difference in pronunciation in the two vowels of the name, but I wouldn’t complicate the outline by writing the long a sound and the ligature, and separating the two syllables.
Thanks. I knew it had to be something simple!
