Add Quenya ⟨ht⟩ digraph
According to Appendix E of The Lord of the Rings, “[t]he Quenya
combination ht has the sound of cht, as in German echt, acht”. As echt
and acht do not have the same cht sound in German, I assume this means
that they are allophones in Quenya just as in German, and ⟨ht⟩ means
[çt] after front vowels but [xt] after back vowels. Add tests for both:
Telumehtar, the Quenya name of the star Orion, is given in Appendix E as
an example of ⟨ht⟩; Mahtar is the father of Nerdanel, wife of Fëanor.
