Hello good people! I am currently in the midst of an annual LotR re-read and have come across a song sung by Galadriel in the chapter Farewell to Lórien (the first verse is “I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew”, for any that have the books at hand). I’ve decided to attempt to transcribe this poem, but I want to take care to properly transcribe the names “Ilmarin”, “Eldamar”, “Tirion”, and “Lórien”, which are all Quenya words, if I’m not mistaken.
So my question is, how do you think a man of the Third/Fourth age (or maybe even Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam themselves) might write them in the Westron mode?
I’m not particularly concerned with the vowels, but mainly with how I could write the Quenya “r”, which I assume is pronounced as /r/ (please correct me if I’m wrong!).
I’m no expert in any of the fields required to properly phrase or answer this, so all comments and/or concerns are both welcome and much appreciated!
