i decided on the tattoo, it will say "rise above," however i have a question concerning a couple of the variants, firstly, would i use the trilled or untrilled version of "r?" my own opinion is the trilled version, as it is a "hard" r, i believe...but i'm not sure...secondly, the s...would i use the symbol for "s" or "z"? i read in the appendix that a good way to transcribe english using tengwar was phonetically, but when i say the word "rise" aloud, it seems like it could go either way.
i also am wondering if i would use a long carrier for the a in "above"...?
i looked at a generator and it didn't use a carrier, it just placed the tehta for "a" over the symbol for "b", and crowded in the "o" tehta as well, in my opinion it looked a bit messy.
