I'm not sure, but I think in Sindarin you'd have to do it phonetically instead of by meaning... I sent my friend a text to see if he can help me out

Except for the green belt along the Nile most of Egypt is very HOT desert. I googled and found this (some forum for various translations): Spoiler The Egyptian word for snow is salqu (the vowels are basically an educated guess) probably related to the Hebrew word for snow, sheleg. Obviously, they had no snow at home in Egypt but came across it in countries further north. Snow is mentioned in one ancient Egyptian text, in the context of unpleasant or dangerous phenomena that might happen on the mountains of northern lands in the winter. Officially speaking, the Egyptians didn’t like snow. not exactly ice, but at least something
