tavella: I'm reading your icon as "Lwara" (it has to be in Quenya mode, you've got the "has a vowel after it" form of "r" in there). But I don't know Quenya mode very well, so I might be misreading the "w"-letter. What does it mean?

dewhitton: I was going to ask for wallpaper permission, too... Apart from the interesting formation catch, I adore those particular tones blue to pieces.

It's 'Laura', or as close as I could approximate in Quenya mode at the time -- I think I went by pronounciation more than the exact spelling.

As soon as I saw the first line of the notification e-mail that went "Laura (tavella) replied to your LiveJournal comment in which you said..." I had a "D'oh!" moment.

Even when writing in English mode going by pronounciation the best way, I think. (If I were to write this usericon now, instead of back when I first started learning, I'd probably use a long vowel carrier instead of the doubles, even though that doesn't technically change anything.)

At any rate: Nice.

I preferred the Sindaran form, but it has been many years since I was able to read tengwar fluently. I can still read English runes.

Take what you want to iconize. I don't mind.
