r/Tengwar

I have been using both Tecendil and Write English with Tengwar rules by Fiona Jallings and I realized something that I can't explain

Why is Rivendell's ND is written as Ando with a nasal tehta and tehtar e in Tecendil, the n seems to dissapear?

using the equivalence of these handbooks n is 17 and d is 5 in the tengwar chart so I wrote it as two distinct tengwa in the first line.

Reading a bit of appendix E the grade 2 corresponding with ando in Quenya ND is supposedly equivalent to the grade 2 which would be Ando and the only other explanation I have found is that the transcriber is using the shorthand for and but the handbook doesn't explain why that is.

I'm kind of lost could someone help me?

P.S Apologies if my writing is hard to understand.

My dad killed himself and I want to get a tattoo of dad cos we loved lotr and I miss him so fucking much

Hello everyone ! I'm planning a cartoon for my daughters and niece drawn as little fairies.
I wrote their names according to what I understand of Tengwar script. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
How would you represent the french "an" [ã] ?
is there a different letter for the guttural french Rrrrr ?

I'm looking to get my daughters name tattooed in tengwar and I would love to know how accurate this translation is. My daughter's name is Lyra

Hello! I’m sure this question gets asked a LOT but I just want to make sure my translations are going to be accurate as I’m not fluent in either Elvish languages, and this going on my body 😅 I currently have a tattoo on my forearm that is meant to say “change is the essence of life”. I do know a few characters are off…I’d like to add to it using the quote “even darkness must pass” but I want to add “and” to the beginning of it so it flows better with my current tattoo. So “and even darkness must pass” is what I was wondering if anyone could help me to format. Thank you!

My coworker has made me paranoid haha. He said it was gibberish, I used a translator for it. It's a qoute from a video game character but I thought tengwar looked prettier than forgotten realms.

**Thank you everyone!!!! 😭😭😭 I was so scared haha

My friend, the things that do attain

The happy life be these, I find:

The riches left, not got with pain,

The fruitful ground; the quiet mind;

The equal friend; no grudge, no strife;

No charge of rule nor governance;

Without disease the healthy life;

The household of continuance;

The mean diet, no dainty fare;

True wisdom joined with simpleness;

The night discharged of all care,

Where wine the wit may not oppress;

The faithful wife, without debate;

Such sleeps as may beguile the night:

Content thyself with thine estate,

Neither wish death, nor fear his might.

Hi! I’m hoping someone can help me with a final check before my fiancé and I have these permanently engraved on our wedding bands.
We’re using Arwen’s quote:
Ring 1: “I would rather share one lifetime with you”
Ring 2: “than face all the ages of this world alone”
We want to keep the words in English and write them in Tengwar, rather than translate them into Sindarin or Quenya.
These images were generated separately in Tecendil using English mode and the Telcontar font.
I’ve read some of the previous discussions of this exact quote, including the issues around “lifetime” and the soft g in “ages,” but because these will be permanently engraved, I’d really appreciate a final character-by-character check of these actual renderings.
Specifically:
• Is the English orthographic Tengwar transcription correct?
• Is “lifetime” represented correctly, including the silent e?
• Is “ages” correct using J.R.R. Tolkien’s convention for the soft g?
• Are there any other changes you’d recommend before engraving?
The engraver will ultimately work from vector artwork, so once the transcription is confirmed, we’ll convert the approved design to outlines rather than asking the jeweler to recreate it.
Thank you so much! We’d really rather catch even a tiny error now than discover it after it’s permanently on our wedding rings. 🙂

I know I already posted this quote while reading the Lord of the Rings last time, but here we go again and I just can't seem to go past it!

I want to proxy this card for fun, so I can settle for the "wrong" font. But I figured it's worth asking this community for advice. I've tried a bunch of fonts, but there are sooooo many and I'm kinda getting lost in a sea of words that I know nothing about.

Annatar Italic has too many flourishes and the accents (or whatever those are called) are not the same sharp style as the card.

Alcarin is too straight.

Formal doesn't look anything like it.

Nenya barely passes as Tengwar for me.

And at this point I lost track, so posting here is kinda my last hail marry before I use just the font I like most. I wouldn't be surprised if in the end this is a unique font or not open.

Hey folks - I'm looking to get my two kids' names tattoed on my forearm. I used the Tecendil site and came up with these two images. The first is for my son Radhey (pronounced "Rah-They") and the second is for my daughter Kalki (pronounced "Kull-Kee"). Any help/review would be greatly appreciated!

It was bought for me like 12 years ago. Ive never known what it says. I have tried to parse it out but between having no knowledge of any of Tolkien's languages and not even being confident which way is "up" for this ring, I haven't be able to figure it out. If anyone is able to let me know what it says, even if it's nonsense, if appreciate it! Thank you.

Hey y'all,

I translated my siblings names into Tengwar and would like to know if I have done it correctly.

Their names are Nicki (pronounced like Nikki) and Sveni (pronounced like Sven-i with a fast "n" and a short "e" and the same "i" as in Nicki).

I am unsure whether I should use the written form (which is the first in the picture and the line i circled. Or if it's necessary to use the double "n"s in Sveni.

I would very much appreciate the help, thanks a lot! <3
Cheers!

Hello,
I’m planning to get the sentence “Guided by what I love” tattooed in Tengwar.
This is the transcription I got using Tecendil in English mode.
Could someone please verify that it is correct before I get it tattooed?
Thank you !

Hi! I plan on getting a tattoo of some lines from Galadriel's Song written with Tengwar but I didn't find any existing transliteration of it. This is what Tecendil produced. I would appreciate some opinions/remarks. Does this look correct? Or would you write something differently? Thank you for the help in advance!

I found this tengwar inscription from The HoME series which I didn't found in the DTS, so can anyone verify if it is correct?

I also checked the sub for discussion on the Tengwar for HoME but couldn't find any info, maybe Christopher made this tengwar? maybe it was the publisher no idea.

Also could someone translate?

Maybe this has been discussed before but I had no idea.

Also while checking out previous versions of HoME the inscription is present.

History and validity on the inscription would be greatly appreciated.

Also I'm guessing is English mode like the LotR tengwar(?)
