Appendix E-I: Pronunciation of Words and Names
Consonants
(An INCONCEIVABLE and CONVOLUTED list of how
to PRONOUNCE consonants.)
Vowels
Tolkien: "Add a 'y' to English
vowels and you're all set. There are a lot of
diphthongs and a couple of other grammatical
rules I've made up."
Stress
Tolkien: "It all depends on the
number of syllables."
Note
Tolkien: "This list does not
work for Dwarvish, Orkish, the Black Speech and
the speech of Rohan. Anybody except Elves,
really."
