cwiruin
noun. spinning wheel
A word appearing as G. {cwirmin >>} cwiruin “spinning wheel” in the Gnomish Lexicon, an elaboration of G. cwir- “make spin” though the function of the suffix -uin is unclear (GL/28).
Neo-Sindarin: Since I update the Gnomish verb to ᴺS. pir- “make spin”, I would likewise update this noun to ᴺS. piruin “spinning wheel”.
