The Mode of Senjecas

Consonants (tengwar)

  • This table illustrates the standardized order of the tengwar. The tengwar in red are those not used for Senjecan consonants. If there are two phonemes given, the first are those used in Quenya, the second those in Sindarin. [1]

Notes

  1. The four Quenya témar (series) are known in Senjecas as űkos (clans).
    1. The tincotéma (dental).
    2. The parmatéma (labial).
    3. The calmatéma (palatal).
    4. The quessetéma (velars).
  2. However, the Senjecan űkos are ordered according to the points of articulation.
    1. peműko (labial).
    2. riisűko (dental).
    3. muitűko (alveolar).
    4. vainűko (palatal).
  3. The six Quenya tyeller (grades) are known in Senjecas as zı̋nos (forms). There are three zı̋nos, each with a voiced and a voiceless member.
    1. stops.
    2. fricatives.
    3. sonorants.
  • This second table illustrates the Senjecan use of the tengwar.

Notes

  1. The tincotéma and the parmatéma are reversed so that the labials precede the dentals.
  2. The quessetéma is assigned to the alveolars.
  3. The calmatéma and the quessetéma are reversed so that the alveolars precede the palatals.
  4. Quesse and Ungwe are assigned the values /ʦ/ and /ʣ/ respectively.
  5. This tengwa is not used in the mode of Beleriand.
  6. The voiceless tyelle (6) is ordered before the voiced (5).
  7. Vala is assigned the value /m̥/.
  8. Because the Senjecan /n/ is alveolar, the tengwa Ngwalme is used instead of the dental Ore.
  9. Used only when compounding results in a geminate <s>.


Vowels

i
e a ɔ o u
Telco Yanta Osse Vilya1 Anna Úre

Notes

  1. The tengwa for <w>, Vilya, is assigned the value /ɒ/.
  2. A vowel is marked as long by placing the <o> tehta under the tengwa.
  3. The primary accent of a vowel is indicated by a circumflex above the vowel.
  4. The secondary accent of a vowel is indicated by an andaith above the vowel.
  5. In the style of the full mode of Gondor, the final -a of postpositions is represented by a special modified tengwa.
  6. The weak vowels are indicated by two dots over the corresponding full vowels.


General notes

  1. In writing Senjecas with the tengwar, a modified full writing of the mode of Beleriand is used. [2] The R-rule is not observed.
