- Ice and Snow Terminology

88 8 17
                                    

A collection of names intended for IceWings, based on ice and snow terminology, like formations, movements, etc.

A few of these have that kind of foreign-sounding vibe, like Hvitur does.

As with the other chapters, once I update this book a lot, I'll provide some definitions to the names given here.

Since most snow or ice terminology refers to snow- and ice-related things, most of the following names will fit for almost all IceWings. :)

For now however, enjoy! I got way more words for this than I thought I would, so that's nice!
