EA.. are not run together, but constitute two syllables, these combinations are written ëa ... etc...
so surely it's Fee-ah-nor? not Faynor, as he seems to think

I used the Black Speech part of the tengwar tool in it to figure out what to type using the Fonts I'd downloaded. (I used the Black Speech version because in a document I had, it said that Sauron had based his tengwar off of the Adûnaic mode, so....plus it showed what the Adûnaic mode would look like, which was vitually the Annatar mode....)

I'd describe it as something like Feh-ah-nor, all vowels pronounced like in Italian, or, as we were speaking about French earlier, like F. é (in original french, not in anglicized words like café=[kafey]) / a / o or (e)au ermm The e is not pronounced like 'ee' in 'keep' though, rather like in ... 'end' (just with the corners of the mouth more pointed... nearly like in german 'schnee' or 'gehen'😉 or so 😕 - I know Im talking nonsense again cry
Main thing is that they're two independant vowels and they have little in common with the way they're usually used in English o.o --
no no you're not talking nonsense at all.. thanku exa hug
