chwind

adjective. twirling, whirling

chwinn

noun. eddy

A noun in The Etymologies of the 1930s appearing as N. chwinn “eddy, whirlpool” and derived from the root ᴹ√SWIN “whirl, eddy” (Ety/SWIN). Christopher Tolkien marked it as an “adj.” in The Etymologies as published in The Lost Road, but this was a misreading of the gloss “eddy” as reported by Carl Hostetter and Patrick Wynne (EtyAC/SWIN).

Neo-Sindarin: Many Neo-Sindarin as this word as ᴺS. hwind, as suggested in HSD (HSD). I prefer ᴺS. whind as more consistent with Tolkien’s orthography in the 1950s and 60s.
