Ordinary Consonants & Vowels

For the consonents with a vertical stem and one or more bows:

• The basic Tengwar signs are for the voiceless stop consonents, and resemble a p or q with an open or closed bow: t, p, k.
• Doubling the bow turns a voiceless consonent into a voiced one: t -> d, f -> v, p -> b, c -> j, s -> z
• Raising the stem (so the letter resembles a d instead of p) turns it into a frictive: p -> f, b -> v, k -> x
• Shortening the stem creates a nasal: t -> r, b -> m, d -> n
