Hi. I'd like to have some charm on my number plate holder. E.g. i rasg hen ah i rasgon di veriad e-Mbelain onen I have not yet decided, though. Could you help me and tell if this one is correct? Or perhaps you could suggest something better...
Basing the passive participle of an(na)– on its (seemingly) irregular past form óne– makes sense, but I think that annen would have been preferred via analogy with other derived verbs (and basic verbs since this one could be both), and because !ónen clashes with ónen "I gave". And I am not alone in this.
I applied nasal mutation because di veriad "beneath protection" whereas you intended "beneath the protection", hence di "beneath > diN "beneath THE" + nasal mutation.
(Trying to edit the formatting on the phone resulted terribly, I had to delete and post the comment again.)

Although I always wonder when to use definite article - Elvish is more liberal than English
