G. cwîl adj. “quiet, peaceful, gentle” (Category: Quiet)

⚠️G. cwîl, adj. “quiet, peaceful, gentle” (Category: Quiet)
ᴺS. ^pell “quiet, peaceful, gentle”
ᴺS. !sídheb “peaceful, full of peace”
ᴺS. muig² “soft, gentle”

An adjective appearing as G. {cwild >>} cwîl “quiet, peaceful, gentle” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/28). It is clearly related to ᴱQ. qilda “quiet, hushed, still” based on the early root ᴱ√QḶŘḶ [QḶÐḶ] (QL/78).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin I would adapt this word as ᴺS. pell fitting the Sindarin phonetic developments from primitive *kwildā as originally suggested by Fiona Jallings, but Fiona gave it the same gloss as its Early Qenya equivalent, whereas I would use the glosses “quiet, peaceful, gentle” from Gnomish.
