How Tengwar Are Written
Each of the main consonants
has two parts: a stem and a bow.
The stem can be short,
extend above the bow, or extend below the bow.
The bow can be single or
doubled, face up or down, and be open or closed.
Every main letter is a
consonant; vowels are added as small marks (tehtar) above (or below) the letters.
