Re: [elfscript] Re: How to write Sindarin and Quenya in Cirth?

The dots indicate the separate 'sets' of Cirth in the list, they are not part of
the letters themselves

Thanks, Melroch. A few questions.

So. The diphthongs. They are written as in they are written in

alphabet, seperately, unlike in tengwar mode in which they use

distinct letters?

And what do the dots beneath the cirth 7.22.38.52,33 symbolize? Are

they part of the cirth? (Crith 38 and 52 particularly adds my

confusion, in which two cirths seem to exist for one value)
