------------------------------------------
the tengwar as a writing system:la tenguar
(not-really-exact definition: la tenguar cu cmene le lerfrtengua selylerfu)

lerfrtengua	x1 is a tengwa representing sound/phoneme x2 under mode x3 with
		structure (lúvar/telcor) x4
(also "lerfu be la tenguar" for quick explanation purposes)
		
lerfrtexta	x1 is a tehta representing sound/with meaning x2 under mode x3

lerfromatexta	x1 is an ómatehta over tengwa x2 representing vowel x3 
		under mode x4 
		
[lerfrtengua] ci'arci'e : a [tengwar] writing mode (place structure of ciste)

The names of the tengwar:

				áze:azen	á. nuquerna:azen.nukuernan
hyarmen:iarmen	?		yanta:iantar	úre:uren

halla:alar

(FIXME: the choice of the final consonant is completely arbitrary (although
somewhat based on the niceness of the resulting spoken forms, any idea of 
a "logical" way to end those words ?)

(NOTE: the justification of the transcription of the 'ch' sounds is given on a
detailed description of the tengwar system, on a separate web page)

Other words:
============

pusta:pustar

bevle'u		x1 is a sign/letter carrying sign/letter/accent x2 in
		  alphabet/character set x3 representing x4

(closed lúva: mulno-, open-: narmu'o)

example:

  'parma' is a tengwa built with one downward 'telco' and one right-oriented 
  closed 'lúva'.

(FIXME: wouldn't it be better not to include this x4 place in the fu'ivla
"lerfrtengua", and use "sema'e" of selma'o BAI to indicate the structure ?)
