Add Sindarin ⟨ae⟩, ⟨ai⟩, ⟨oe⟩, ⟨ui⟩ diphthongs
For ⟨ae⟩, we used to use the Latin [[aI]] phoneme, which sounds like /ae/. Call that phoneme [[aE]] for us and introduce a separate [[aI]] one, which sounds more like /ai/ (since Sindarin has both, and they’re supposed to sound different, though Appendix E of The Lord of the Rings notes that there is nothing closely corresponding to ⟨ae⟩ in English and that it may be pronounced like ⟨ai⟩). Furthermore, for ⟨oe⟩, just remove the TODO – the Latin phoneme is called [[OI]] but sounds more like /oe/ than /oi/, so it’s actually just fine for our purposes. Finally, the ⟨ui⟩ diphthong is copied from Finnish, just like in Quenya.
