Cyrilic cursive uses dashes in the same way Latin uses dots. Try writing "minimum' without them, and you'll get the same results.

This is the first I'm hearing about dashes. What do you mean?

You know how и and п have the same shape, but п has a dash on top? You can put the dash on the bottom to easily differentiate и and ш from м and л.
