Yup! Good reading, some people forget you can put the vowel symbol on the letter before or after. Or at least, so the tengwar guide I was following swore :)

Although usually it's one or the other direction consistently for a given language/mode. Quenya words are generally vowel-final, and therefore (saith the Professor; the books are downstairs & I ain't going down for them now) the vowel follows the consonant it's written on (CV), while Sindarin, generally consonant-final, goes the other way (VC). The Tolkien Soc'y of America's English mode is VC, which is reasonable for English. The mode I developed for Esperanto is CV, which works well for Esperanto. Of course there's no reason a mode can't have structured exceptions (and in fact my Esperanto mode does).

And "traject", which I only learned today - to transmit, transport. Obvious when you think about it, but I have clearly never thought (and never seen it in the wild).
