Finally, the list lives up to its name! It actually contains more than a hundred words, but that's just as well since I don't know that all the entries would survive close scrutiny. (I'm especially afraid of having munged the Saami.) I'd like to thank everyone who contributed words for "snow" in the multifarious languages of the world, but special regard is due [livejournal.com profile] moominmolly for ransacking online dictionaries with the same fervour as I brought.

Do Saharans have a word for 'snow'? )
