Lucas Werkmeister ee7e057821 Fix extra-long vowels in Elvish languages
A circumflex “specially prolonged” vowels; according to Appendix E of
The Lord of the Rings, only in Sindarin, but the Ambar Eldaron Quenya
Dictionary [1] also has some very few circumflex words (sû, lîs), so
let’s support the circumflex in Quenya as well. Marking extra-long
vowels with two colons seems to work well and is also done in several
other languages.
