Note that if the signs were placed on the larboard of the letter, they would be arresting at, et etc.
Concerning the Modes using tengwar, the vowels were displayed with signs that are identical to all of the accurate systems (with accessory varieties). We can anticipate that they were identical to the first ones that Feanor made. The accurate Quenya tehtar are apparent actuality over the letter Tinco, and how they would be apprehend in Quenya:
And Sindarin:
Sindarin had the age-old umlaut ? that after became e (as in Arn?diad), but it is accurate nowhere. Continued vowels were placed on continued carriers, but the signs for o, u and e could aswell be doubled. In Quenya, the assurance of a could be simplified as a circumflex or even ommited, as it was a actual common sound.

And both abounding modes:
Au and oe accept been accurate boilerplate and are guessed. Oe shouldnt be abashed with the age-old umlaut ?. Au is accounting -aw assuredly (as in baw, lhaw) by Tolkien. Final -w in additional combinations like tew, aew, lhiw is a semivowel and doesnt anatomy a diphthong.
