According to Geoffrey Pullum’s 1989 paper The Great Eskimo Snow Hoax, contrary to popular belief, Inuit (or Eskimo) languages have only two basic words for snow, qanik, meaning “snow in the air”, and aput, “snow on the ground”.

English, however, has had at least six words for snowflake: flaughen, flaw, flight, flother, snowblossom and snowflake itself.

The Japanese for Wednesday translates as ‘Water day’ as the planet Mercury was known as the ‘water star’.
