There are three main sources for Telerin names:

• the Etymologie published in The Lost Road, which record some Telerin words and names, notably for some of the Valar;
• the essay Quendi and Eldar published in The War of the Jewels, mainly concerned with the names of the various divisions of the Elves;
• the note on the names of the descendents of Finwë at the end of The Shibboleth of Fëanor, published in The Peoples of Middle-earth.

The names have been associated to their more familiar equivalents in Quenya or Sindarin. We have uniformly marked long vowels with macrons, whereas the sources also use the acute accent.

Little enough is known of Telerin stress patterns. Parma Eldalamberon n° 19 p. 56 tells that Telerin shared with Quenya a period of stress retraction on the first stem syllable (most often on the initial). The very first Qenya Phonology, contemporary with the Book of Lost Tales (started in 1915), also states that the dialect of the Solosimpi (the name of the future Teleri in that stage of Tolkien’s legendarium) retained such a stress system. From this admittedly flimsy basis, we decided to put a light stress on first stem syllables in our records of Telerin.

The Telerin text is transcribed in tengwar or “letters of Fëanor” according to an adaptation of ours of the classical mode for Quenya, in which the sixth row of tengwar (with shortened stem and single bow) spells the single-standing consonants d, b, g and v. We made use of Måns Björkman Berg’s typeface Tengwar Parmaite.  Open this mode in Glaemscribe
