	Cirth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cirth ("Runes") are the letters of an artificial script which was invented by J.
		Although the Cirth were later largely replaced by the Tengwar (which were enhanced and brought by Fëanor), they were adopted by Dwarves to write down their Khuzdûl language (Angerthas Moria and Angerthas Erebor) because its straight lines were better suited to carving than the curved strokes of the Tengwar.
		Cirth is plural and is written with a capital C when referring to the writing system—the runes themselves can be called cirth.
