Lucas Werkmeister 2d47c32ba9 Add Quenya ⟨hl⟩ and Sindarin ⟨lh⟩
Both represent a “voiceless L”; Appendix E of The Lord of the Rings
notes that the Quenya ⟨hl⟩ was pronounced like /l/ by the Third Age, but
for now we reproduce the original pronunciation. (Maybe we can later use
conditional rules for different pronunciations, but I think for now I
won’t go down that road.)
