When I saw that message I went straight to the MK1 website, but couldn’t find it. After a little snooping I was able to find the (hidden) page on the MK1 site. That was about 3 hrs ago, and at that time there were only 2 left (a yellow and a green), but they are gone now. ---

The design on the inner-rim is not Tengwar, or Feanorin-elvish. It is the nonsense alphabet that is on Pinterest. I am not sure where this came from but it is NOT the Tengwar that is used in the inscription on the ring. The Unparalleled logo is a ‘u’ and an upside-down ‘u’. How is this an H? As someone that has been writing in Tengwar since high school, I have been truly puzzled by some of the script on these yo-yo’s. Has someone that actually knows elven reviewed these inscriptions? The inner-cup script is literally “hh/hh” using a sketchy non-Tengwar ‘alphabet’ on Pinterest. It is nothing in Tengwar. ---

It’s not a secret release. I was setting stuff up on my website (as unlisted, not to show in search results) and didn’t realize that google already crawled it. So there was 1 of each color available, for a time. ---

Has someone that actually knows elven reviewed these inscriptions? The inner-cup script is literally “hh/hh” using a sketchy non-Tengwar ‘alphabet’ on Pinterest. It is nothing in Tengwar. The cup engraving was chosen for its appearance, using existing Tengwar characters (thúlë with an i diacritic). It isn’t meant to translate or transcribe into anything. The prefix “un” in sindarin is the prefix ú- - drawn as a long carrier with a left curl diacritic - it didn’t look right for the UN branding. I’m aware it’s not a perfect application of the source materials, but I couldn’t find any words in Sindarin or Quenya that conveyed both the meaning + the aesthetic we wanted there. In the end I deferred to Bryan as it was his branding. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/0/3/503fc476329829d285f1379a496b9f5c2821eecb.png) _Long carrier with diacritic - equivalent to latin ú_ The outer rim engraving on this colorway was translated to Sindarin (roughly, by me) and then written in Tengwar characters. I used Elfdict and Glǽmscribe as resources, as well as phone calls with my dad, the appendices, and some tengwar font guides from r/tengwar. I hope this unpuzzles my choices. Or maybe it re-puzzles them. ---

While others may not understand why I care, that explanation makes total sense to me. I agree that a ‘u’ with a carrier would look strange, I was thinking of the ‘u’ symbol by itself, not using a carrier; and intertwined with a second ‘u’ might look cool. But I was stuck on the ‘H’; which made no sense to me. Also, that Pinterest alphabet is unfamiliar to me. Tengwar is a funny writing system. It can be modified so many ways by Tolkien that it is sometimes not clearly understandable when you encounter a strange cluster, or a method of writing the carrier and the vowel that is not the norm. And do not even bring in all that Silmarillion stuff… 🙂 Thank you for taking the time to clarify this to my Elvish geeky-self.
