Memoir 2, Page 23, Phonography

"It was written in Phonetics and phonotopy"

Phonography is the practice of representing each individual sound of a language with a particular character, rather than allowing one character to represent more than one sound, such as the English “c,” “g,” and vowels. Many dictionaries still use phonography to record accurate pronunciations. In his personal diaries and journals, Woods uses an old system of shorthand called Pitman that uses shapes and pen strokes to represent individual sounds. It is likely that he learned Pitman while in law school. It’s possible that he means he wrote the League documents using a system of phonetics similar to Pitman.
