NOTES TO THE CONSONANTS
(1): vala is only used when the <w> is the first sound of a syllable.
If it follows a consonant, then the <w> is represented by a left-curl
above that consonant. If it follows a vowel, then it's written with an
úre that bears that preceding vowel.
(2): vilya is only used when the <y> is the first sound of a syllable.
If it follows a consonant, then the <y> is represented by two dots
below that consonant. If it follows a vowel, then it's written with a
yanta that bears that preceding vowel.
SIMPLE VOWELS
The vowels are placed on the preceding consonant sign. If there's no
preceding consonant sign, then they're placed on a short carrier. For
exceptions see the notes to the consonants.
a: three dots
e: acute
i: single dot
o: right curl
u: left curl
COMPLEX VOWELS AND Ü
All complex vowels and ü are written by combinations of the following
kind:
y/w/yw + vowel + y/w
Like this:
ua = w + a
uo = w + o
uai = w + a + y
ao = a + w
iu = i + w (y + o + w?)
ou = o + w
iao = y + a + w
ia = y + a
ie = y + e
io = y + o
iao = y + a + w
ai = a + y
ei = e + y
ui = u + y (w + e + y?)
uai = w + a + y
ü = y + u
üe = yw + e
üa = yw + a
TONES
I suggest to use the same tone signs as in the pinyin romanizations
(like Dave 'Hísilómë' does). However, I suggest to place them below
the same sign where the vowel tehta is.
