The form "kapele" appears when the word is in certain (noun) cases, eg. "streha e një kapele", and also the plural of the word is "kapele".

neutral Blerta Alikaj : the correct form is actually "Kapele".

"kapele" is more of a spoken version. As I have mentioned above, the dictionary only includes "kapelë"
