Tengwar Literals

The transcription provided by Tecendil attempts to be as accurate as possible. However, there are cases where some adjustments to the automatic transcriptions may be desirable.

To fine tune the glyphs used in the transcription, use the following tengwar literals in the input.

For example, to transcribe "alchemy" using the tengwa extended calma {{ {extended-calma} }} to represent the /k/ sound of <ch> use al{extended-calma}emy {{ al{extended-calma}emy }}

Some tengwar are available as capital letters in some fonts. The tengwa literal for the capital variant of a given tengwa is the name of that tengwa written in all caps.

For example, use {TINCO} for {{ {TINCO} }}.

Some compound words may be better transcribed as two individual words, joined together. To separate words into individual fragments, insert a straight apostrophe.

For example white'board {{ white'board }} instead of whiteboard {{ whiteboard }}.

Some modes offer alternative transcription for some characters by following the character with a star *.

For example, in the english mode:

s* or ç for forced silme-nuquerna {{ s* }}
s** or ß for forced silme {{ s**}}
z* for {{ z* }}
a* for {{ a* }}
e* for {{ e* }}
ee* for {{ ee* }}
i* for {{ i* }}
o* for {{ o* }}
oo* for {{ oo* }}
u* for {{ u* }}
r* for forced roomen {{ r* }}
kx for extended quesse roomen {{ kx }}
