K. I got to post. It's rather short, but it got the boys back. Lommy, I figured you could post for Garstan next. There is a slight chance that I can post sometime this week at camp, if you happen to get a post up that I need to reply to.

How to make those diphthongs (mashed together A-E's/O-E's) and other vowels with squiggly marks:

Press and hold down the ALT key while typing the four number code on your NUMPAD, then release ALT.

Oh thanks. That would be super helpful...if I wasn't using a laptop keyboard (i.e. no numpad).

piosenniel · 06-08-2008, 04:30 PM

I also use a laptop - it's a Dell. It has a keypad built into the letter keys which is accessed through using the Fn (Function) key - does your laptop have something like that? If so, you hold down the Function & Alt keys together and use the 'numpad'.

Gwathagor · 06-08-2008, 04:50 PM

Sadly, no.

I've posted.

Thanks much for posting the aid, Pio!

Gwath, don't worry about it - typing both letters is quite readable. "dh" = "ð" .... and accent marks are a luxury some of us prefer to use. Technically, Eodwine ought to be Éodwine.

Honestly if I had to put in every single accent mark I wouldn't bother... autocorrect in my word processor for me.
