Lucas Werkmeister 4e6ebdbfb6 Velarize [n] to [ŋ] before velar stops in Elvish
I’m not aware of any statement by Tolkien to this effect, but it just
seems natural to me, and the [ŋ] is at least found in the Omikhleia
Sindarin dictionary [1] (e.g. entry tinc, [tˈiŋk]).

Based on a similar phoneme rule in ph_english.
