Just a quick message in hopes of a quick reply. Today I'm getting a tattoo, in Elvish, saying 'Aillesel Seldarie' or 'May the Seldarine save us'. Now I'm 90% sure of the Espruar translation, but I just needed someone to confirm for me that swapping out what the FRCS says is an 'A' in Espruar can be directly substituted for a Latin 'A'. This being, do I just swap out the letters A, I, L, L, E, S, E, L etc for the Espruar equivalents? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was lsure who else could confirm what I'm so nearly sure of knowing. In fact I think it's more just one of those things I've convinced myself I'm not sure about when I do. Not my most eloquent post, but then it's 6:40am...:zzz:

My Elvish is rather poor; Lord Karsus is usually the best source for that.

But I can give you HIS DICTIONARY (http://www.angelfire.com/rpg2/dagnirion/Elven.html) and hope that helps.

Ah yes, I've oft used his resources, but it's not so much as the English to Elvish translation I am worried about, but the actual lettering. The Latin alphabet characters over to Espruar, which is on page 86 of the FRCS.
