Well, it's not my site; I was just answering the question. :)  The passage
above implies that there isn't such a diacritic in Quenya; presumably if
ambiguous tehtar were required.  But it would be no problem to do so (my
own inclination would be to a single under-dot, I think.

Of course, a vowel carrier with no vowel is nicely unambiguous.
