-nch, -rch

Special thanks to Thomas Pacheco for funding this lesson.

This lesson covers how to write words with the -nch and -rch suffixes like "arch" and "hunch".

-rch

To end a word with "rch", we use the chord -FRPB.

• AFRPB: arch
• SEFRPB: search
• TOFRPB: torch
• POFRPB: porch
• PWEUFRPB: birch
• HRUFRPB: lurch
• PAFRPBD: parched
• PHAFRPB: march
• KHUFRPB: church

-nch

For the most part, -FRPB also works for "nch":

• PWUFRPB: bunch
• PWEFRPB: bench
• PEUFRPB: pinch
• PUFRPB: punch
• RAFRPB: ranch
• TPREFRPB: French

However, if there is a collision where a word can end with either rch or nch, such as with "lurch" and "lunch", the -nch word is written with -FRPBLG.

• HRUFRPBLG: lunch
  • HRUFRPB: lurch
• PWUFRPBLG: bunch
• PUFRPBLG: punch
• etc.

Note that -FRPBLG can also be parsed as "FRJ", such as in "beverage". This is why PWEFRPBLG maps to beverage and not "bench". To be honest, the only collision I can find in the default dictionary is lurch and lunch.
