So, this whole “having an online store” thing is still pretty new to me, and I’m learning a lot as I go along! The first major thing that I’ve learned is that trying to maintain the “200 most popular names in the last century on t-shirts” was a truly terrible
I have left much of the punctuation off of the phrases, so that you can adjust the phrases to meet your needs. This will cover what can be removed, what can be added, and what to do when combining phrases. Tengwar Punctuation I left the tengwar transliterations without periods if
Check it out in action! The adventure for adding the Tengwar and Cirth to the phrasebooks was a long one, with a lot of setbacks. First, there was the getting the Cirth and Tengwar fonts to work at all. That took multiple tries and Shihali cracking open the lid on

These are names that are designed for Exiled Noldorin Elves in Middle-earth and Númenórean/Gondorian royalty. For the Númenóreans, if the language of the Sindar was considered a “High” language, then Quenya was even higher. They reserved it for only the highest proclamations and the names of their rulers.
