Gnomish

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)”.
