- Yes! Get the book AN INTRODUCTION TO ELVISH, edited by Jim Allan. (It's
- published by Bran's Head books in England; if you contact a British bookstore
- they should be able to get it for you.) In that book are three very good
- articles about the origins and use of the "tengwar", the Elvish writing,
- and one on the "certh", the Runes you see in a few places in the Lord of
- the Rings.
-
- This book is fifteen years old and still the best thing ever written on
- Tolkien's invented languages. Ruth Noel's book on Middle-Earth languages is
- really pathetic compared to this.
