+In Tengwar Annatar, we kern between carriers with tehtar.
+
+This is unsafe in modes like English Tehta or Gondor, which
+use vowel tehtar and put them on the following consonant, because
+then you end up with unnecessary kerns between, say, o-carrier and
+a-tehta-over-m.
+
+So we turn off left kerning for these letters.
