There is some conflicting evidence regarding what the subject and object of=
{SIS}, which likely has a syntax similar to {peD}:

This would indicate that a {SISwI'} would actually be a rain cloud, rather =
than the rain itself, which would be {bIQ SISlu'bogh}.
However, in paq'batlh (paq'raD, Canto 13, Stanza 6), we have the sentence {=
chaHDaq SIStaHvIS 'Iw}, indicating that rainwater may indeed be described a=
s {SISwI'}.
It's very possible that {SIS} (and {peD}) have some sort of dual syntax, wh=
ere context and common sense dictate which reading is correct.
It's also worth noting that when it comes to rain and snow, the clouds and =
the matter that falls from them is really one and the same; just at differe=
nt stages. (Well, at least for the most part; a meteorologist may know of s=
ome exceptions to this.)
In any event, I fully support the request for a word for snow, whether it's=
a canonized modification of a known word or a whole new one.
