I learned c+genitive as being the opposite of на+acc. , so "away from"... ???
"I write the word away from a small letter"?

Again, me confuddled.
C+instr. we were taught as being "(together) with"......
"I write together with a small letter"..... Ь

I'd just say "Я пишу это слово маленькой буквой" (without c at all), as I would say "Я пишу печатными буквами".....
All wrong?

Great question, thanks, Yazeed!
