Oh dear... you see, this now calls for Quenyan programming language. The parser could use the Unicode Tengwar (has that been put in yet?) for the actual code...

I wonder if one could use a stroke-order method for writing the tengwar, such as stem + bow and bow + stem. u,w,n,m can be used for the bows, with a prefixed bar for closure? Then there's the puctuation thingies, etc etc... I did used to have a perl script that created ASCII tengwar from text input. It worked sort of similar to the old 'banner' command (which I also had a perl script for). \/^\|-m or whatever.	[reply]
