ARTEJ.R.R. Tolkien - Herr der Worte, Herr der Welten - Die ganze Doku | ARTETolkiens Fantasie fasziniert bis heute. Mit seinen Geschichten aus der Welt Mittelerde („Der Hobbit“, „Der Herr der Ringe“) schuf J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) ein sowohl hinsichtlich seines Umfangs als auch seiner literarischen Qualität herausragendes Œuvre. Tolkien selbst, ein eher ruhiger Mann, erfreute sich wie seine Hobbits an einfachen Dingen wie der Natur, gutem Essen und seiner Pfeife. Allein durch die Kraft seiner Worte verschaffte er der Magie solch eine Wucht und Anziehungskraft, die Millionen Menschen bis heute in den Bann seiner Werke ziehen. Der Film beleuchtet das Leben und die Persönlichkeit Tolkiens – ein außergewöhnlich kreativer Geist.

The content of App. E of LOTR is condensed. All tengwar have a "full name" in Quenya. Tolkien wrote:
"Each ‘full name’ was an actual word in Quenya that contained the letter in question. Where possible it was the first sound of the word; but where the sound or the combination expressed did not occur initially it followed immediately after an initial vowel."

So where is the tengwa anna in the full name anna? Nowhere! It should have been written by Tolkien: ’anna or ȝanna.

My new Elvish question marks.
Up to last year we only had 1 example of such a mark in 1 text/calligraphy by Tolkien, published in "The Road Goes Ever On".

Last year (at last) a text by Tolkien provided the definitive explanation of its origin showing that my hypothesis was the right one. It is a reshaped/reduced Tengwa M.

Note: Parmaquesta is a normalized written form of Quenya, using a standardized spelling.

Trying something a little different on YouTube today. I've launched a channel for the Middle-earth Blog where I've uploaded a podcast-style video I built with a little help from Google's NotebookLM AI.

I wrapped the generative content with an introduction and epilogue.

This commentary is based on one of my articles on the Middle-earth Blog, titled "Why Did J.R.R. Tolkien Write So Little About The Second Age?" (Actually, he wrote quite a lot about the Second Age.)

The Plan:

In order to learn to design tengwar I am using Toshi's work.

Red are the tengwar I designed this month in the style of Alcarin Tengwar by Toshi Omagari.
Blue tengwa, I reassigned it.

After mastering the design of the Tengwar and doing the 15 or about Open Type Fonts for each mode Tolkien imagined, I will finish designing my Tengwar Sans Serif, then open a site dedicated to the Tengwar, and then do the "Middle-earth Dingbats Fonts".

My “New Elvish Typography Project,” also includes the making of Middle-earth Dingbats Font(s).

A stylized Orthanc tower.
The white crown of Gondor used by the chancellery of King Aragorn (Elessar Telcontar) in Minas Tirith. Note that this is the real White Crown and not the fake crown of the movies.
And the star of Fëanor.
There are enough different "things" to make over a hundred Dingbats.

Real question: "How many Dingbats in one Font usually?" Thanks for your feedback.
