For Tolkien Fans!

I transliterated the entire book of Psalms into Tolkien's Tengwar (Elvish) script. Here's the link if you want one: https://www.lulu.com/shop/manalive-press-and-nathaniel-patton/the-psalms-in-tengwar/hardcover/product-zmwg7y4.html?q=psalms+tengwar&page=1&pageSize=. And check out some of the pictures!

This is really cool!

I've got all sorts of questions:

  • Did you make your own translation algorithm?

  • How did you align Elvish letters to English ones? (As it's an orthographic transliteration as opposed to translating the meaning of each word from English into Elvish)

  • How did you translate LORD? Just straight letter to letter? ("Lord" can be brannon, arador, hir, tur, or a host of other words. My text editor translates it (T h p+n) as "j6H2" which obviously doesn't make sense.)
