A noun form of pel- “✱to fade, wane” indicated by the month name Narbeleth “October, Sun-waning” from The Lord of the Rings appendices (LotR/1107). It was clearly derived from the root √KWEL “fade, die away, grow faint” (PE18/103), where [[at|ancient [kw] became [p]]] in Sindarin.
Conceptual Development: The Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s had G. cweloth “fading” based on a similar verb G. cwel- “fade, wither” (GL/28); the Sindarin sound change of [kw] to [p] did not occur in Gnomish of the 1910s. The Etymologies of the 1930s had N. ✱pelin < ᴹ✶kwelēnē in its mutated form -belin as an element in N. lhasbelin “autumn” (Ety/LAS¹), presumably “✱leaf-fading”.
