Sch   snûven is usually derived , which, however, may come from  snûfen, ‘to snuff.’ The  root is snupp, snū̆f, snū̆b. .  ,, ‘snow’ (vessel), from the  snau,  snaauw, whence also  snow,  senau; “orig. a ship with a beak, from snau, ‘beak.’” Yet  also  snacga, ‘navis rostrata’?.   ,, ‘snout, muzzle, nozzle,’ only; an imitation of  snûte,  snuit, ‘snout,’ though wrongly influenced in its dental sound perhaps by  sniutzen,  ;   snout and the   snoute. The form with a correctly permutated ȥ,  to  sz, is preserved in  , ‘to snarl, junket, suck.’ For further remarks see.   ,, ‘snail, slug, spiral staircase,’ from snëcke, , ‘snail, tortoise, spiral staircase,’  snëcko, , ‘snail’; corresponding to  snigge ( *snigga, , is wanting). *snagils is implied by snęgel,  , ‘snail,’  snagel,  snœgel,  snail. further snigell.   ,, ‘snow,’ from the  sné,  snêo, ; a common  term which may be traced back to ; this is all the more remarkable, since no words common to the Aryan group can be adduced for ‘hail’ and ‘rain.’  snaiws,  snœ́r,  snâw,  snow,  sneeuw. The common snaiwa-z,, ‘snow,’ from an earlier snoigó-s (prior to the  permutation snoighwós) corresponds to  sněgu,  snégas, ‘snow’; allied to the  root snī̆w, from pre- snī̆gh, preserved in    snîen,  snîwan. To this corresponds ninguere, ‘to snow,’ and nix (nivis), ‘snow,’  νέφει, ‘it snows’ (φ  to ghw),  γίφα, ‘snow’ (all these have lost an initial s before n);  snìgti, ‘to snow,’  snechta, ‘snow,’ Zend snìż, ‘to snow.’ The  root snih, ‘to become damp, melt away,’ is divergent in meaning; it must also be noted that the term for ‘snow’ differs in most of the Aryan  (Zend vafra, ‘snow’). Thus we have a West Aryan and (but not an  and ) verbal root snī̆gh, ‘to now’; the term ‘snow’ is of more recent origin. See.   ,, ‘(cutting) edge, snare, gin,’ from  snîde, , ‘edge of a sword or a knife’; allied to , from  snîden,  snîdan, ‘to cut, carve, make (clothes)’;   sneiþan, ‘to cut, reap,’  snìða,  snîþan (obsolete at the beginning of the  period),  snijden,  snîthan. A common  from the root snī̆þ (snī̆d), ‘to cut,’ which has to correspondences in the other Aryan languages. See. —   ,, ‘cutter, tailor,’ from the  snîdœre, , is connected with the meaning of  snîden.  , see.  ,, ‘path hewn through a wood,’ in this sense a and  word, in  sneite; both are derived from. The word also signifies ‘noose, snare.’  ', ',, ‘to lop, prune,’ from late (also sneiten), ‘to strip of the branches.’ Allied to. ,, ‘quick, speedy, hasty,’ from snël (ll), , ‘quick, nimble, brave,’  snël (ll);   and  snël (ll), ‘fresh, energetic, courageous,’ Scotch snell, ‘bitter’ (  keen in the same sense,  ),  snel,  snjallr, ‘eloquent, capable, brave.’ The earlier meaning ( the ), was much more general,  perhaps to ‘capable’;. This common, unknown only to , passed into ;  the cognates of  snello, ‘quick, lively.’ The origin of the   is obscure. — .  ,, ‘to jerk, toss,’ from  snellen ( snalte), ‘to send off with a jerk; move on rapidly.’  ,, ‘snipe,’ from the  snëpfe, ,  snëpfo, , snëpfa, ;   snep,  snîpe,  snipe, from the root snī̆pp. Also snîte,  snite?.
