It's in English, not any ME language, but it's still nice: Tolkien's greeting inscription in Tengwar from a letter to G.H. Cowling (details of this acquisition on http://douglasstewart.com.au/news/)

I always treated s-hooks as being similar in function to signs like the tilde for preceding nasal, that is as a mark modifying the consonant tengwa itself, with which it forms an atomic unit. I thus considered s-hooks applicable only for cases, where the s is adjacent to the preceding consonant, and not a separate sign, which can also receive tehtar. Apparently, I was wrong. I guess I should consider s-hooks as being simply an alternative glyph for the tengwa silmë.
Other instances of sa-rince carrying a tehta occur in DTS 10 and in DTS 50. Encoding-wise, we have distinguished between a spacing sa-rince (that can carry tehtar) and a combining sa-rince. On a tengwa like quesse, the combining sa-rince attaches below the lúva, while the spacing sa-rince attaches on the right side of the telco.

sure - I did not intend to share it as anything new, just as an interesting bit.
