snow

tseg : snow

The Tarijan word for snow is tseg. Tseg is a symbol in Tibetan writing used to seperate syllables. Since many Tibetan words are monosyllabic, this mark often functions almost as a space.

How I came up with this word:
Tseg is a mixture of the transliterated word for snow in Russian which is sneg (снег), and the transliterated word for snow in Mongolian which is tsas (цас).
