aiya , meldor!.
Greetings, friends!
I enjoy writing Quenya in its authentic form, that is, the Tengwar. However, as most of Tolkien's material is written in the Latin alphabet, some elements are unclear for me. Currently I am pondering the gemination of r.
As far as I can tell, there are several possibilities:
1) doubled (using the bar/tilde beneath) rómen, because doubled r is intervocalic
2) doubled (using the bar/tilde beneath) óre,
because it is the basic form of the letter and rómen is derived from it
3) óre followed by rómen, because the first r is not preceded by a vowel, but the second one is!
Does anyone know of an example of Tolkien writing a word in Tengwar with rr (even in a non-Quenya mode that has still the r-rule)? If not, how would you suggest doing it, and why? What would be reasoning for or against any of the above listed or other solutions not here given.
