Lucas Werkmeister f25fda6cd8 Define some Elvish diphthongs
Not all of the diphthongs in Quenya and Sindarin are defined in the
Latin phonemes, and for now we’re sticking to those, so some diphthongs
just get TODOs for now. Also, we’re temporarily using the same phoneme
for ⟨ae⟩/⟨ai⟩ and ⟨oe⟩/⟨oi⟩, which should really be different (though
Appendix E of The Lord of the Rings notes that ⟨ae⟩ and ⟨oe⟩ don’t have
close English equivalents, and that they “may be pronounced as ai, oi”).
