If you want to play it that way, peD je nuq'e'? And who knows? bIQ qutHommey? chuch ghIH? DujtlhuQmey taD? I'm not saying there's no word for the noun "snow". What I'm saying is, if one wanted to describe the situations that were being described, we do have pretty reasonable vocabulary with which to do so. Maybe I'm thinking of the qep'a' wishlisting slightly differently.

I think you are. Someone asked for the noun for snow, and you're basically saying not to ask for one because you can find other ways to say it. I'd like a noun for snow so I don't have to play at circumlocution whenever I want to use it. I also find it highly unlikely that Klingons don't have a word for this common stuff, and that they play word games whenever they talk about it.

It's a wish-list, not an I-can't-find-any-other-way-to-say-it list.
