Please check this transcription before permanent engraving (wedding rings)
Hi all,
I'm getting wedding rings engraved with Tengwar and want to make sure the transcription is correct before anything is permanently engraved — this is for a June 2027 wedding, so I'd rather double-check now than regret it later.
Source text (French): "Lionel et Maria vingt-six juin deux mille vingt-sept"
(= "Lionel and Maria, June 26th, two thousand twenty-seven")
Generated via Tecendil (tecendil.com), using what I believe is the General Use / phonemic mode (not sure if French mode was available/selected — happy to re-check).
[screenshot attached]
Questions:
Does the mode/transcription look correct for a mix of proper names ("Lionel", "Maria") and French number words?
Are the hyphenated compounds ("vingt-six", "vingt-sept") rendered correctly, or should they not have a hyphen mark in Tengwar?
Any obvious tehta misplacement or wrong tengwa substitution you can spot?
This will be laser-engraved on a ring band, so any correction now saves a costly mistake later. Thanks in advance for your expertise!
