I did it yesterday but I was a little confused with the vowels.

Is it right? My name is Claudia

No, not quite. This alphabet is really hard to learn.
Here it is. (Sorry, my writing is not nearly as pretty as yours. Oh well)



(The "j" thing under the e symbol and the "i" thing under the a symbol don't have a letter value. They are just there to "hold up" the vowels. The "J" symbol means the vowel is long. The "i" means it is short. I dodn't add the u in your name because it didnt need it. If you want me to explainit I will try, but I'm not very good at explaining things, and you would probably get convused through no fault of your own.

If you have any questions, just ask me.

Well if it might be right i know how to write elvish just a bit!!!

Thanks.
Actually it isn't my letter I just copied and pasted from the alphabet to paint.
Where can I find the one that looks like a "j"?
I use this alphabet and doesn't have it

I use the alphabet that is in this site
http://www.starchamber.com/paracelsus/e ... nutes.html

I've seen that site before, but I don't think it is correct. The letters are correct, but to write a vowel, the vowel is placed over the letter that it comes before. So if you wanted to write the word "dog" in Tengwar, the "o" would go over the "g", not the "d".

The "j" and "i" I told you about are not letters. I couldn't find them in the site you showed me. I'll try my hardest to accuratley describe them.

Your name, Claudia, has two vowels at the end, "i" and "a". In Tengwar, the vowels have to be"supported" by somthing. They can't just dangle in the air. When vowels are at the end of a word, a carrier is used to support the vowel. A long carriel looks like a "j" , and supports a long vowel. A short carrier looks like an "i" and supporst a short vowel.

If you want to translate your name in Elvish, you can in this site: http://www.anneaux-elfiques.com/runes_elfes.php

I don't think that site is right......They wrote my name commpletely worng.

That's strange. In my case, they well wrote my name, without any mistake...
However please take notice of the translation which is in Elvish runes.
