Official TENGWAR Transcription Thread (and TATTOOS) - V

[!ISAIAH!]

Hello Isildilmë. It's been more than five years when I first asked you to translate the name of my son into tengwar. The tattoo has been in my arms ever since. four years ago I had a daughter and you kindly translated her name also. Last week my gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and I am in need of a favour again. I don't know how to thank you but I would be honored if you could translate her name into tengwar also. Take your time. Thank you so much in advance.

Here's the name:

Leliana Lilja Sarlotta Salonen

[LauraLúthien]

Hi Isildilmë.

I have just recently given birth to a gorgeous baby boy named Lindon (after Lindon in Middle Earth!) I know you're super busy and I fully understand how hard it is looking after a little one, but I was wondering when it is possible if you could transcript his name for me so I can get it tattooed on me.

Lindon (English) in Tengwar Annatar italic bold.

Many thanks!

Hi isildilme

could you please change it into tengwar annatar (R) and tengwar sindarin (r) and (i) please
look forward to hearing from you

[Almatolmen]

Malus, Isildilmë doesn't translate, she transcribes.

[Malus]

That is what I meant sorry

[Almatolmen]

No problem, Malus. This is an issue that is addressed here often.

It doesn't apply in your request, but there are times when it causes real confusion and some time and effort to get it straightened out.

So, it's become general practice to correct the terminology whenever an error is made, even when it's a minor one as with you.

[Malus]

Thank you, I was a little worried when I first found this forum I was too late
As it was dated 2012, I am guessing people are still transcribing on here,
I will be very grateful to see the result of the transcription

[Chenlie]

Hello again, I hope that all is well with you and your family!!
I have an additional request to the names I asked for (Vincent and Arwen). Can I also ask for these dates if you have the time please? 28 July 2014 and 24 September 2011 ( or all numerical if that is easier.). Same font. I hope that is ok? If you don't have the time I will be happy with just the names thanks so much x

[Lothario]

No really touching story, I'm just trying to keep my sister from getting nonsense on her skin. So I was wondering if you could transcribe "Gin gorin pe drauthathon len gerithon acharn am len." I'd be very grateful and she will be too, if she appreciates my diligence ha.

[Isildilmë]

I am so terribly sorry everyone. I normally try to answer to everyone and do the transcriptions as quickly as possible, but someone made me realise that I am actually 2 months late... I have to say that I lived some difficult events lately... and I kind of felt like if I felt from a boat in a warm sea with a life jacket... I knew that I would survive from this, but how long would it take before I get out of the water and stop receiving huge waves directly in the face, this was a mystery. I feel like I'm now out of the water, but still totally soaked. End of the comparision. All of this to try to explain that I had to work hard and use all of my energy just trying to do "regular stuff", everyday tasks and so, so I couldn't take extra time to work on transcriptions. I will try my best to put things right.

I have some transcriptions ready to post, so I start with this. After I'll check the new requests to see if they are complete, and then I should have some remaining time tonight to transcribe some of them.

Let's start !

So here are my comments concerning the most recent posts :

fitluk1093 : ok !

alottaroses : I send you my last questions on your email, because we started a discussion there

!ISAIAH! : Hi ! welcome back ! It’s always a pleasure to see requesters coming back, and even more with such great news : congratulations ! Did you ever send me pictures of your tattoos ? I have to admit that I don’t know by heart who did It will be a pleasure to transcribe her name, but I have a little question concerning “Lilja” : I guess that the “j” is pronounced like a “y”. Do you want me to write it respecting how you decided to spell it, so with a “j”, or as a “y” ? Both choices are good and a matter of personal decision

LauraLúthien : Another baby ! Wonderful Congratulations to you too ! It will be a pleasure.

elvish15 : it’s perfect and perfect timing, as it will be your turn !

wgd05260 : no problem ! I prefer to warn you that numbers are written backward in elvish, when compared to how we write them, so ten is written 01. Just for your info.

Peppermint : no problem !

Chenlie : perfect. I will propose you a few punctuation… because I’m not aware that we have examples of Elvish written dates using our Christian calendar So I mostly use the equivalent of semi-colon, dash, comma…

Lothario : “no really touching story”… well, there is at least the story of a brother (if you are a man, if not let say I said sister) trying to protect his sister… touching enough I’d say ! You didn’t precise a language (I have the feeling that it’s Sindarin), nor the font you’d like to have (take a few minute to look at the introduction with your sister using the link from my signature, and come back to give me these details).

It took me more time than I thought to organise the requests and I'm exhausted, so I'll go to sleep, but I'll try to come back with a few requests soon.

[Almatolmen]

!ISAIAH!, I see that your last name is Finnish (many Finns around here), so I assume Lilja comes from that language. When I checked it out on Google, I saw that there's a Swedish TV series called Lilja-4. An inspiration?

What does Lilya mean?
[ 2 syll. li-lya, lil-ya ] The baby girl name Lilya is pronounced as LIY-LYah- †. Lilya is of Latin origin and it is used mainly in Finnish. Lilya is a variant of Lilian (English, French, and German). Lilja (Scandinavian).

Lilya is uncommon as a baby name for girls. It is not listed within the top 1000 names.

[!ISAIAH!]

Hey Isildilme and Almatolmen.

Wow... it's really hard to explain the pronounciation to you but I'll try my best. Lilja is the flower lily in english and it is a fairly common name here in Finland. Lilja 4ever is a tv show here and I think I watched some years ago but it was nothing special.

Anyhoo... The finnish pronounciation is difficult to explain. The letter "j" is soft and short. There is no "z" in it. Lilya with an english pronounciation is pretty close.

Isildilme, thank you for you efforts, especially if have gone through a rough patch. I know something about rough patches since my first wife died some years ago. I've learned to live with it and accept it. That being said I know there is one thing I learned from that situation, there is always something good even in bad things. I feel I am a bit stronger now and definitely more down to earth. I know I live in the now and not in the past etc. All the best to you. Take care and thank you.

Oh I get it ! "lj" is a palatalized "l", like what Tolkien expressed with "ly" in Quenya (that, as we know, is in part inspired by Finnish ). So I will represent it that way. Anyway in my English transcription mode, the symbol used for palatalization in Quenya is not used at all, so I will borrow it to express this "j", and there would be no confusion about it that way, in my opinion. If that is ok with you.

[Almatolmen]

That was the reason that I looked up Lilja. I thought that was a possibility and thought you should consider it.

[Isildilmë]

A good idea Alma
