Luthien, I'll give it to you, since you're by far the closest one. What I was actually looking for was the pronunciation of the "s" tengwa. It was pronounced "th" by both Miriel and Fëanor, who never met, and "s" by everyone else (which was actually a bit of a Vanyarin influence, thus, Fe-Fe didn't like it). It was also one of the reasons Fe-Fe looked down on Fingolfin and Finarfin and the rest of the "family" because they pronounced it as an "s."
