German translation:must be "peeled"
Explanation:
Bells peal, and not much else (although we talk metaphorically of "peals of laughter"). If you take a thin layer of the surface of something, you're **peeling** it.

Sorry, that\'s \"a thin layer **off** the surface of something\".

Maybe \"unverdeckt\" would do the trick here (assuming you use \"verdeckt\" for \"covered\").
