At a Glance

The word. An alternative name for snow.

A place to read. The historical definition below, 1650 dictionary, unnumbered definition page 28; facsimile PDF page 356.

Historical Definition

Kyram is snow.

Meaning

The definition gives snow as the complete equivalent. It does not direct the reader to a philosophical preparation, a special colour-stage or a mineral. Any such qualified use would have to be established from the text where the word occurs.

In This Edition

The name remains searchable in its historical spelling. A brief equivalent is more faithful here than an invented account of the term’s origin.
