Amanye Tenceli tenth anniversary   Message List  
Reply Message #111 of 340 |
Sarmendili!

On April 3, my web site Amanye Tenceli (http://at.mansbjorkman.net/) turns ten.
To celebrate this I will add various content to the web site over the next few
days.

Today I have added a description of Tengwar punctuation (here:
http://at.mansbjorkman.net/teng_punctuation.htm). As always, all comments,
suggestions and corrections are welcome and appreciated.

In case anyone is interested, I have written a brief chronicle of the first
decade of Amanye Tenceli (here: http://at.mansbjorkman.net/ten-years.htm).

Yours,
Måns

... That sounds like these marks actually are used to enclose text written in a different mode, which would be a useful punctuation to have in Tengwar writing....

... Or like "quotation marks" – in case you have no italics available. Note that DTS 51 most likely does not represent the original leaf of paper dropped by...

... Now that you mention it, the actual use of these marks in DTS 51 does not correspond entirely well to that of our parenthesis (e.g. _to (Zigûre)_). One...
