Huh? Either you know something about Telerin or Ilkorin that I don't,
but I don't believe that any of Tolkien's conlangs have voicles
nasals. I only really know for sure in Quenya and Sindarin. However,
there are tenwa that could concievably be used for the purpose. If
you follow the 'idea' behind the tengwar and where the number of bows
represents whether the phoneme is voiced, row 6 (ore, vala, anna, and
wilya, i think) could concievely be voiceless nh, mh, ngh, and ngwh.
