I had a few questions about pronunciation of Quenya single and double consonants. In the word _queta_ (meaning "is speaking"), is the "t" pronounced more or...
Happy Epiphany to you too Petri! I'll be checking out your compositions, thanks for the link! - TK ... -- And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high...
Regarding the pronounciation of the _t_ in _queta_ and _quettar_ they should both be unvoiced, but the example you gave of __mo-dor-cycle_ I would say is...
