#sarati

@tolkiengenweek day 7 

The inventors of the three Elven writing systems:  Rúmil of Tirion (the Sarati),  Fëanor (the Tengwar) and Daeron (the Cirth alphabet)

"Âz ŠARÆRYÂN Walariweyarâz" - "I LOVE Valarin"

----

*âz - I

*šaræry-ân - love-PRES

*Walar(i)-weyar-âz - Valar-weave-nominative, "Valarin language"

----

I assumed that Sarati, an early script used by the Elves in Valinor, would be the unofficial script for the Valarin language. And it was beautiful.

say you’re you’re the head of the chem department of a minor university on tol eressëa for folks who want to take a few classes here and there but don’t feel like making the trip to study full-time on the mainland, and you’ve just made a brilliant discovery at the end of your sabbatical. the university’s already made plans assuming you’ll be back to teach that year, but now you have to drop everything to go on the traditional lecture tour through alqualondë, valmar, and tirion to verbally share your discovery with the leading institutions in those cities. and it’s a pain, but you don’t really have other options unless you want to be stubborn and force them all to send delegates to your island, and that’s a great way to annoy literally everyone else worth knowing in your field. say you’ve got a great idea, and you want to share that idea, but for whatever reason it’s not practical to do it in person.
