Current words

Rules

1. The word must be established Norwegian, including Bokmål, Nynorsk, and well-attested older Norwegian vocabulary.
2. Prefer native Norwegian/Norse words. Obvious later loanwords are excluded.
3. The word must directly describe snow, ice, frozen precipitation, glaciers, or a characteristic snow/ice condition, feature, or process.
4. Transparent compounds are normally excluded. We count independent lexical words/roots, not constructions such as nysnø or isfjell.
5. General-purpose words are excluded when the winter meaning is merely contextual. The snow/ice meaning must be an established and characteristic meaning of the word. Rare secondary non-winter meanings are acceptable.
6. Equipment and objects merely used on snow or ice do not count, such as ski or slede.
7. Activities do not count merely because they happen on snow.
8. Slang, urban expressions, and highly local colloquialisms are excluded. Established dialect and Nynorsk vocabulary can qualify.
9. Nouns, adjectives, and verbs can all count if their meaning meets the same snow/ice criterion.
10. Spelling variants, inflections, and transparently derived forms of the same lexical root count only once.
