  • aha

    After a, from the baseline

  • oha

    After o, from the midline

Stroke order
  1. 1Swing up from the baseline into a tall loop at the top line, as for l.
  2. 2Come straight down to the baseline.
  3. 3Climb back up the stem and curve over a round hump at the midline.
  4. 4Come down to the baseline and curve out.
Where it joins
It ends on the baseline with a stroke out, as n and m do. After b, o, v and w its loop rises straight from their stroke at the midline, as in “oh”.
Mixed up with

Keep the hump round and open: a small loop pinched into it makes h a k. Print h is the same shape with a straight stem instead of the loop.
