Tengwar vs. runes

Was this simply overlooked by Tolkien, a mistake in the movie, or was tengwar normally used for inscriptions on metal objects? I know runes are used in carvings of wood and stone, i would think metals would be the same. Thus even as Eru spoke to us shall beauty not before conceived be brought into Eä, and evil be good to have been.</p> |
