D is
You know, if you bothered to read the previous posts on this thread, you'd know that
Anyway, it was pretty good! Glad to know we're contaminating the rest of the world with our Tengwar scribblings!

Oh, and no, I didn't get comments from my teacher on the Tengwar on the test; I translated it on a separate sheet of paper, erased the Tengwar, and copied it back over. I was pretty embarrassed, though!

TC listed some of the finer points that we all use, but you certainly have the basics down. Also, I would add that there is a symbol for "th". And TC - what about our beloved s-curls??? Ms. U - I'll write one of your posts the way that I would have written it to show you what we mean. (BTW - notice that we read your writing just fine - these are just some comments from people that enjoy Tengwar and know some more details about it, and we wanted to share them with you, ok ) I'll try to get it to you tonight, but it will be tomorrow at the latest.

OK, here's how I would have written your "C". I also added a sentence at the bottom showing an s-curl - it's a downward curl attached to the end of a tengwa that indicates an 's'. It is usually more common at the end of a word, but it can be used anywhere in the word. I like putting them only at the end, because I like to really make them with a flourish. So the last sentence would be "and we all like s kurls!"
Oh, also in your "C", you wrote "difference" as "differenke" - instead of "differense" - I think you probably just used the 'k' sound for 'c' instead of the 's' sound. PLEEZZEE don't take this as us criticizing you! We are just trying to share info with you that we have already learned about, and that we think will enhance your enjoyment, too! Notes on individual words in my post - 3rd word, 1st sentence is "all" - note the tilde symbol inside the "L" tengwa, which indicates that the tengwa should be doubled. (You'll also see the doubling symbol in "difference" under the 'f' tengwa.) last word in first sentence is "one". See how it is all in the same vertical column? That's another thing that I think is really cool about how your write Tengwar - it has a vertical aspect to it. You always read from top down, so you get 'o', then 'n', then the symbol for a silent final 'e', which is a dot under the tengwa. I sometimes write "one" as "wun", too, depending upon my mood - it's really more phonetically correct. 2nd word, 2nd sentence - "iz" for "is" - either is correct and also readable, I just like 'iz' better because it sounds more like how we say "is" and it looks prettier to me! final word, 3rd sentence - "kurls" - shows the s-curl. 2nd word, 3rd sentence - "we" - I write it as 'w' then I double the 'e' symbol to indicate it's a long sound. You can double 'e', 'o' and 'u' to show long pronunciation, but not 'a' or 'i' - you have to put those on a long carrier.

whoops - forgot the attachment!!
here it is: I'll keep an eye on the thread tomorrow for your reponse ps - it's helpful to me if you can keep your writing on the left half of the page - otherwise, my printer cuts off the left edge . But I can work around it if you don't want to do that.

Thanks, katya! Any hopes of you getting a scanner for Christmas?? I'd sure like to see some of your writing!
How did you look at it in paint? I just click on the name to see them. Did you save it somehow then open it in paint, or am I misunderstanding you?? Ms. U - Let me know if my comments made any sense to you when you get a chance. I'd especially like to get you started on s-curls, because we all love them so much here!!

RÃ*an, probably not. My mom has been increasingly un-consumeristic and i doubt i will be getting much this year at all. Actually though one thing I am getting is a portion af a llama for some family in South America. It's a cool program. Maybe there is a scanner at school I could use...hm...
I wrote all these messages to myself in Tengwar and it's fun to go back and read them. Today I found the lyrics to "The Road Goes Ever On and On" or whatever it's called, and a "vote for seth" from Homecoming elections. It's cool. |

Okay, people, sometime tonight or tomorrow I'll post this one I doodled in History class on some extra paper. I originally did it in pencil, but pencil doesn't show up well on my scanner, so I went over it in fine-point Sharpie. Nota Bene: there are two bits that are in the Quenya mode, so if you stumble, try it in Quenya. Of course, by the time you get to the elvish bit, you should recognize it, so you shouldn't have too much trouble. I'll scan it when I get back around 9, yeah?

TC - okie dokie!
katya - too bad about the scanner, but great about the llama! My kids' school is doing something similar this year thru Samaritan's Purse - Franklin Graham's organization. Great ideas for giving!! We have SO much here in the U.S., let's help some others out.
