Well as I look in my LoTR appendices, I don't see any symbols for puncuation in the Angerthas (Dwarvish Runes).
However, I know that when using the Tengwar to write, a period is represented by two dots (a colon of sorts) and a comma is represented by one dot (like our common period). There are some other punctuations for exclamation marks and queries, but as to colons and semicolons, there are no accepted ones to my knowledge. I just don't think that they were worked in to his (Tolkien's)alphabets or that with the styles of writing presented, they weren't really needed.
I of course could be wrong as I am no authority on the subject. But I am interested in where you found puctuation for the Angerthas... I think I'm gonna have to check for myself at my fav. sites as well.
Thanks for the intrigue, and welcome to the Downs. I hope you're enjoying your death (just a way we refer to ourselves at the Downs - being dead, that is)!

Ok, I just went to
www.omniglot.com and I found a page on writing with the Angerthas (or Cirth). This site does say that words are to be sepaated by dots, but doesn't say anything about double-dot action.
Hope this helps a bit.
