Elven Glyphs

How to use:


Each glyph is composed of a consonants followed by a vowel sound. When a sound is isolated, the glyphs from the primary set are used instead. For example, the word for cat, pronunced fublè, will be written with the glyphs for /fʊ/, /b/ and /lɛ/:
fublè
  Here the /b/ sound is isolated, without any vowel sound, so the glyph for it comes from the primary set. The others come from the secondary one.
Nota Bene: There are a few exceptions where the glyphs don't match with the pronunciation of a word. However, they follow the sound changes noted in the corresponding language article (Common Elvish, High Elvish, Dark Elvish). For example, in common elvish, the word for mood is written as abu and is pronunced /ɑˈmʊ/ but the gyphs used are the ones for /ɑ/ and /bʊ/.
