Fifth Anniversary Cloak

This cloak was a quest reward for the 5th Anniversary festival. It appears to say "LEBEN" in Sindarin tehta mode.
In 'Tolkien - Artist and Illustrator' [5] a Noldorin sentence is found on Thrór's Map which agrees well with numerals as found in the Etymologies. The sentence reads lheben teil brann i annon ar neledh neledhi gar godrebh, apparently the (free) translation of 'five feet high the door and three may walk abreast'.
So, these Tengwar are probably meant to be the Sindarin word for "five".

Lebennin - the Land of Five Waters (Streams/Rivers) in Gondor, so yes it would be Five
