My idea of a logical way of ending them would be a consonant that can't occur finally in Quenya, so that it would be immediately obvious that, say, the final consonant in _formen_'s name is original and the one in _parma_'s is an addition prompted by Lojban's conventions. I hereby nominate {m} for the position of stopper in lojbanised Quenya words. --Ivan
