ceral
noun. jar
A noun appearing as G. ceral “jar” in Gnomish Lexicon Slips of the 1910s from primitive ᴱ✶keréldǝ (PE13/116). It is likely based on the early root ᴱ√KERE “turn” (QL/46).
Neo-Sindarin: A similar root √KWER “revolve” appears in Tolkien’s later writing, so I would adapt this noun as ᴺS. perol “jar” from ancient ✱kwerḷ.
