This sentence comes from a manuscript by Tolkien with notes about several Qenya phrases. On the back there is a draft for the chapter “The white rider” of The Lord of the Rings. Analysing the contents of this document, that the Elvish Linguistic Fellowship named the “Koivienéni Manuscript” and studied in Vinyar Tengwar n°14 and 27, allows to date it between the years 1937 and 1941. The translation of this “Koivienéni” sentence is by Tolkien himself.

The text is transcribed in sarati or “letters of Rúmil”, written vertically from top to bottom and from left to right. The signs are used according to Tolkien’s valuation for Quenya. We made use of Måns Björkman Berg’s typeface Sarati Eldamar.  Open this mode in Glaemscribe
