Tattoo check:
Hello,
I have been thinking about getting some tattoos in this script because I love these quotes from this world, but want to make sure they are as accurate as possible. Please feel free to message me about them. Thank you!!

The final tengwa of “through” isn’t incorrect as the extended tengwa can be used as alternates for the non-extended form, but we never see Tolkien use it this way in English texts, instead he always uses unque for silent GH. Some tengwar fans theorise that Tolkien may have instead used the extended form for the GH of “ghost” (I used to be a strong advocate of this but I’m now not convinced).
So correcting that we get this.
