The Prancing Pony inscription ("THE PRANCING PONY by BARLIMAN BUTTERBUR") in two different Tengwar modes, the top one in the abbreviated ''tehta'' mode, the bottom one in full
Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Prancing Pony inscription in two different Tengwar modes.jpg |
English: The Prancing Pony inn's inscription written in two different Tengwar modes, the top one in the abbreviated tehta mode, the bottom one in full. The scholar J. Wust suggests that while the Hobbits could read Tengwar in the full writing mode, as used in the North, they were unfamiliar with the abbreviated mode, as used in Gondor, and given the very different presentations of the two, it is unsurprising that the Hobbits could not read the Gondor-style script used on the One Ring, or over the doorways in Minas Tirith. |
