Am I missing something here?
Not 'Elbereth' (but the right character).

Correct on the second.

Not 'Felagund' (but the right character). I'd... actually completely spaced that Celebrian is also his niece, but the clue works for both her and Finduilas. Orodreth is right.

Not 'Nerwen' (but the right character). The other two are right.

And then there's the fifth. Do you know what letter can go unwritten in Tengwar when writing Quenya, and more specifically why?
