Eldamo : Sindarin : pedh-

S. *pedh- v. “to fall in steep slant, incline, slope” (Category: Slope, Cliff)

S. *pedh-, v. “to incline, slope, ⚠️fall in steep slant” (Category: Slope, Cliff)

A strong verb in Sindarin given as ped- and presumably of the same basic meaning as its root √PED “fall in steep slant, incline, slope” (PE17/173). Its actual Sindarin form would be *pedh-, since [d] generally became [ð] in Sindarin. Tolkien also gave the verb penna- “come down in a slant, fall”, so it may be that *pedh- means only “incline, slope”.
