According to the Tolkien Gateway article on Qenya [1], Tolkien used ⟨q⟩ to represent [kʷ] before the writing of The Lord of the Rings (during which he decided to use ⟨qu⟩ instead). Let’s support it, in case someone wants to use eSpeak NG to pronounce names from the earlier volumes of the History of Middle-earth. [1]: http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Qenya
