So another interesting issue is the usage for /ungwe/. I have five current Tengwar diagrams that I am looking at that are supposedly meant for Sindarin Tehtar mode. However they don't really agree. I have three diagrams stating /ungwe/ as being used for /g/. And two that refer to it being used for /gw/. My original thought is that it was meant to be used for both. But one of my sources that speak of /ungwe/ being used for /g/ specifically states that should there be a /gw/ that /ungwe/ would be used with a backwards twist over it to represent the labialization of the /g/. You would think if /ungwe/ already automatically represents that then it would be a redundant action. Unless within Sindarin Tehtar mode /ungwe/ only represents a hard /g/.
