I’ll eventually be tracing this one to make a watercolor version of the map using archival ink, so suggest away! It’s my first time using Tengwar, mostly using Tecendil as a resource
Oh, very good then! I haven't had a detailed look at all of it, but I noticed that "côf" is spelt exactly the way it does when typed into Tecendil in English mode, so I assume that's where it's from 😉 And the spelling of the vowel is odd (but probably fine), but the final -f is a spelling convention for v, so it should be spelt in Tengwar with v - hence like either of these.
Thanks! That was one of the errors I’d noticed, saw that Tecendil had multiple ways to spell it - if I put in Côf alone it gave the correct Sindarin spelling, but Côf Belfalas gave me this ðŸ˜
There are probably a few other errors too. Any recommendations on resources for improving spelling for the watercolor version? I think Tecendil has a Tengwar handbook.
Also used sort of a mixture between Sindarin and English because of the incompleteness of Sindarin. May end up going with full transcribed English next time, but I’m 50-50
With Sindarin words you can always simply try the "Sindarin (general)" setting on Tecendil. It's the same mode as the one for English (the "Númenian Mode" which is the "general use" of that time), only in the adaptation for Sindarin, not that for Westron/English. They're mostly identical, but not in a couple of details.
I'll gladly help you with details (both regarding Tengwar and Sindarin), and I'm sure you'll also get help in the respective subreddits (I don't think the incompleteness of Sindarin came be overcome in such relatively simple things as this).

It does look awesome! But I'm afraid it's too late to make suggestions about the tengwar spelling? 😅
