can someone tell me what Tolkien had against the letter j
#I don’t think it’s ever used in his languages? Haven’t come across a quenyan or sindarin word that uses j#In other news completely sympathise with his affinity for iambic tetrametric rhyming couplets they are also my go to#(Discovered an old file of mine that descended from prose to the aforementioned; no idea what it was about but still)#Anyway I genuinely don’t think the letter j is that bad?#Maybe he really didn’t like his prenomen#Anyway I am clearly thinking of important things#Tolkien#jrr tolkien#hatred of the letter j#Is there a phobia for that#Jotaphobia#Such a hated letter it doesn’t have a Greek root because there is no Greek equivalent#This whole consonant that Greeks deleted and replaced with another ‘i’#God get back to the tags Alexis really abusing this function right now#Genuinely I hope you appreciate my tags I put a lot of effort into them /j#Wouldn’t be able to tag that without the letter j#Guys help I’m going nowhere good
