I'm sure this is nothing new, but this mostly concernes runes like UR
and R
. How would one be able to determine which to use when transcribing words? Is there a trick? Or simply guesses?
ps. text likes to act weird when implementing the brackets @@

Good question. According to my gut feeling and half a year on this site, the compounds should be used whenever is possible. For every -ur- in the Latin alphabet transcription, you should put an "ur" rune. I think the compound runes are just simple text shorteners in canon texts and never carry grammatical meaning. Any confirmation from more knowledgeable members? |

Any word that uses ur or ir should be written with that character, such as thur or nir. A special exception occurs when you have words like kiir or viir, in which case they would be spelled K+ii+R and V+ii+R, instead of K+I+ir or V+I+ir.
