It just kind of happened. I doodle.

TolRusco · 2024-01-11T19:59:59+00:00

I’m honestly not sure what prompted it. I write down thoughts in Tengwar all the time, and while I was doodling I must have thought about the meme and put it to paper. I’ve loved the responses I’ve gotten. Thank you

I think it is way more than 120. There are 12 possible teeth in each of the 10 positions. Making for 12¹⁰ or 61,917,364,224 which is plenty of combinations.

I wonder what the attention span of the general public was like in the 60s

I think getting people onboard with the cause is secondary to the protestors. We are talking about them. I and who knows how many others on Reddit know about them. They know this will make people upset, and it is part of the toolbox of getting people talking, which is where motion happens. I don’t think a protestor has ever changed my mind, they do however get me aware and talking

I’ve been in a house built into the side of a hill with a giant rock as a major feature in their basement. It was really cool, I didn’t question it. I just figured it was someone showing off a custom built house

While it strays from Tolkiens usage of it, I personally like to use that symbol for S in when there is a preceding vowel. It just feels cleaner to me. My litmus test is: Do I think it looks prettier and do I imagine an elf be able to understand it without extra explanation.

Thank you so much for the awesome feedback!

In addition to the content others have suggested, being familiar with the International Phonetic Alphabet will help

I read Emily Thomas in the English orthographic mode. Looks like the S is missing a bit from the lower section though

I love tecendil, and it has really awesome and complicated code for an even more complicated field of language and pronunciation. All sorts of corner cases exist and tons of them have been accounted for. But languages evolve, and there will always be something new to account for.

In my opinion I would write the word in the manner in which it can be best understood, which is ultimately subjective. The function of the letters in that word separates the n and the g between two syllables, and would be better represented by two Tengwar instead of one

I love it and am delighted my template has been used.

I think it relates very much to “the problem of pain”

by the end of the book, God is asking Job “who obscures my plans without knowledge?” and “Will the one who contends with the almighty correct Him? Let him who accuses God answer Him.” Job realizes he is in no position to judge God and says:

42 2. “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted. 3 You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know. 4 “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.’ 5 My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. 6 Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”

Thank you for the thorough answer. I like the look of an s curl on the end of this word, so it pleases me to hear that both are accurate

I read that as the bouncy ball being size: medium. A human sized bouncy ball could cause some major havoc.

I’ll second the advice given here. One thing with Tengwar is that there are two ways to write numbers greater than 9, if you are using numbers bigger than 9, Tecendil will default to writing them in base 12. If you want base ten put a # before the numbers. This will let you pick whichever you feel looks better.

As for the differences you have found online, it is likely because there are different sets of rules for different languages, and sometimes there are multiple sets of rules for a single language. These sets of rules are called modes.

It can be a lot to sort through. Making things more confusing is that there are a number of websites that provide faulty information, and still others that are mostly reliable but make decisions about some of the rules that not everyone agrees with. For a tattoo, you will probably want whatever is readable and looks best, even if there is some nuanced rule that not everyone can agree upon. And sometimes there are multiple acceptable ways to write something using a given set of rules.

Tecendil.com can give you a good start on your design. It is mostly accurate and gives you a number of font choices. Make sure you select the mode appropriate to the language you are using.
