@jeroen94704@fosstodon.org So!! Gonna do a video with some live-writing & other info (this was actually a test for that setup), but, quick answer:
- There are a TON of ways to write (and thus read) Tengwar: https://www.wikihow.com/Write-Tengwar
- I learned from the book "The Languages of Tolkien's Middle-Earth", by Ruth S. Noel
- This is what I taught myself at the time; I place tehtar on the *following* consonant, or with a carrier, which I think was described as Quenya mode?
- Now digging deeper, w/ primary sources :D

@jeroen94704@fosstodon.org ...OH! Sorry, I thought I was replying to the person with the other quotation. That's a whole different question!! I built yours from Tolkien's own handwritten Quenya, with more research, for maximal accuracy. The previous post is my personal handwriting, which is much looser. Gimme a minute :)
