I was sadly unable to give vowels the same treatment, since these do not consistently have names, some of the names appear only in combination with specific tengwar, and names like sa-rince do not fully describe the flourish variations that are expressible with the fonts. |

looks good (but see 1 typo: that's the requested change).
As a side note, it's always a bit risky to use non-ASCII chars in strings intended to be used for programming. For example, AFAIK the Regex engines of most Javascript engines do not handle as one would expect accented characters. There are Unicode variants of those that are available, but they are inconsistent, and AFAIR Firefox doesn't support it.
As an alternative, you could use "nuumen" for "númen", etc...

It’s my hope that this makes the tests more palatable as a shared asset among transcribers.
