Gorath can, of course, read Moredhel, so this won't be a problem
in Chapters 1 - 4, 6, 8 and 9.
In Chapters 5 and 7, Patrus needs to
cast the UNION Spell in order to decipher and solve the Riddles.
This
will cost him 15 Health/Stamina points every time, so why not learn the
Moredhel Alphabet?

SOME OBSERVATIONS
L
The letter L appears in many forms, as it tends to combine with
whichever letter follows it. The form shown above is mainly used whenever L appears
on its own. The actual usage, however, differs in many ways:
This is the "basic" L. As you can
see, it is quite (but not completely) different from the stand-alone L shown
above. You will spot this form at the end of words (where no letter follows),
and in combinations where L merges with the following letter.
Here are some combinations:
L + A = 
LA
L + D = 
LD
L + E = 
LE
L + I = 
LI
L + K = 
LK
L + O = 
LO
L + R = 
LR
L + S = 
LS
L + U = 
LU
L + Y = 
LY
The double-L is a special case:
L + L = 
LL
LL can, of course, merge with the following letter. Here are
two examples:
LL + A = 
LLA
LL + O = 
LLO
Example: The word FOLLOW. This is basically
, but is actually written as:
.
L can even merge with a punctuation mark! In the example shown
below L merges with the full stop:
L + 
. = 
L.
Of course there are exceptions to the above rules! For example the word
LOOK is written with the stand-alone form of L, which does
not merge with the following O as usually:
,
whereas BLOODLESS is written as:
.
