Just to clarify, [In reply to] Can't Post
From the links that I and others (and you!) shared here, both Orcrist and Glamdring are inscripted with Sindarin Cirth (runes). Sting's inscription was added in Rivendell, and they used Sindarin Tengwar.

I don't know why the differences! Perhaps inscripting with Tengwar was more difficult and came later that the use of the Cirth. As far as Anduril, maybe Men used Cirth rather than Tengwar? Using Tengwar for Sting may have been at Bilbo's personal request, as he loved studying Elvish.

Whew, I'm not a linguist, but did study Cirth and Tengwar years ago...maybe I should study it again to catch up!
There it is: dwarves are not heroes, but calculating folk with a great idea of the value of money; some are tricky and treacherous and pretty bad lots; some are not, but are decent enough people like Thorin and Company, if you don't expect too much.
