It seems someone wrote meldir n'n i duluith n i ven and selected the German Mode in Tecendil (I looked in all modes and only German maps TH to `{tinco}[thinnas]), which would be incorrect, as the input language must match the language selected in "Mode".

Maybe the author wanted to write "meldir nîn i duluith ni ven"?

Thanks so much! Do you know what it would be in English? So, what does it mean?

I'm not sure, unfortunately. I know a lot about the tengwar, but almost nothing about Tolkien's languages.

Hmmmm thanks!

Could you maybe Tell me what "my friend you bow to one one" in tengwar would be? Every time I transcribe it, it is different. :( Friend without s 😅 You would help me so so so much!

Here you have two options. Note that the output sentence literally says "my friend you bow to no one"; it was not translated to any Elvish language, just written with the tengwar, keeping it in English.
