What is the singular of "шиндли"? Is it "шиндъл" (which is how it is pronounced in German) or "шиндел" (which is how it is written in German: "Schindel")?

Answer

"шиндла" - as a feminine noun. I guess that's because it's a feminine noun in German too, or rather because of the obvious association with "керемида" ....  and usually, when it comes to the pronunciation, the noun's gender takes precedence over the foreign words' original pronunciation.  
However, it is a pretty exotic word - I won't be surprised if there are other thoughts.
