belin

adjective. expanded, unrolled, unfurled, set (of sails)

An adjective appearing in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s as G. {belum >>} belin “expanded, unrolled, unfurled, set (of sails)”, based on the verb G. belu- “unroll, unfurl” (GL/22).

Neo-Sindarin: Since I retain the Neo-Root ᴺ√BELU “unroll, ✱unfurl” to serve as the basis for “sail” words, I would retain and adapt this Gnomish adjective as ᴺS. belen “expanded, unrolled, unfurled, set (of sails)”.

eilin

noun. pool

fenlug

noun. snake

fent

noun. snake

A word for “snake” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, along with a deleted variant fenlug (fenlog-) (GL/34), the latter probably a combination with G. lûg “snake”. It was clearly a cognate of ᴱQ. fent “serpent” from the contemporaneous Qenya Lexicon (QL/38).

gwail

noun. air

gwerb(e)lin

noun. top, whirligig, *(lit.) wind-unwind

A noun for a “top, whirligig” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s, apparently a combination of G. gwer- “turn” and [possibly] G. belin “unrolled” (GL/22, 46), so perhaps meaning “✱unrolled turner”.
