Tolkien's languages are my hobby. I use them primarily to create names for stories. Recently, I decided to go a step further and take an English phrase,...
I'm also a novice, but why the "help letter" below the E? Drop it and put the E above the L. Those "help letters" should only be used when there is no letter...

You already have in Quenya _Eruhin_ "Child of Eru" with the plural _Eruhíni_, therefore "Starchild" would be *_Elenhin_ with plural *_Elenhíni_. Why the...
