JRRT actually did create such a vertical script, which was used in
the Blessed Realm before Feanor got around to creating the Tengwar
as we know them today: the Sarati of Ruumil. This is a TTB LTR
abjad, like Mongolian. Vowel marks appearing to the left of the
consonants are pronounced before them; those to the right, after them.
