The ignorant.  ;-)

I've found a German tengwar mode online that uses the labial
double-stem for /ps/, which only appears in Greek loans, while
/pf/ is omnipresent in German.  The author might even be the
guy who flamed you...

I dislike the letter.  ;-)  But yes, |r-| is the only letter left
which has an irregular descender and thus could look unaesthetic
when doubled.  I'll change that.

¿Eh?  No hablo Queñol.  ;-)  (Though I sure love the language!)
