- In languages like the Western, which made much use of consonants[1] such as our ch, j, sh, Series III was usually applied to these; in which case Series IV was applied to the normal k-series (calmatéma). In Quenya, which possessed besides the calmatéma both a palatal series (tyelpetéma) and a labialize series (quessetema), the palatals were represented by a Fëanorian diacritic denoting ‘following y’ (usually two underposed dots), while Series IV was a kw-series.
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 [3], The representation of the sounds here is the same as that employed in transcription and described above, except that here ch represents the ch in English church; j represents the sound of English j, and zh the sound heard in azure and occasion.
- ↑ The Return of the King, Appendix E; I. "A Pronunciation of Words and Names"; (i) Feanorian Letters, page 443.
