When we talk about ORGANIC SYMBOLS we mean simply that one symbol is
taken as the root for several related symbols.

The most obvious example is the underlining...

You can underline any symbol to add emphasis
big ..... big
You can also double underline, draw a squiggly line or a dotted line underneath a
symbol or word denote differing degrees of emphasis or certainty....

There is a system for noting verbs that ties in with this idea....

...verb tenses

wo
rk

wor
kg

work
|

| wor
k

| wrk

worki
ng

work
ed

will
work

would
work

Here are some more examples of one symbol giving rise to several more...

al

national (adjective)

ally

Nationally

ze

tn

nationalisation

national (noun), citizen

return, come back, reverse, regress

rise, increase, grow, climb etc.

fall, decline, slide, slip, drop, shrink,

exchange, relations,

lead to, consequence of, therefore

continue,

whatever you like!

pleased.

annoyed, unhappy, unimpressed, etc.

very unhappy, disgusted, etc

to think

to know, (for me, the straight line denotes

certainty, in comparison to the squiggly line for to
think.)

The circle can also be used to denote a person who is associated with that
symbol's meaning. This can be done by adding a raised circle to another symbol.
