# the cold of snow
|
|
|
|
Snow only fell on the tops of mountains, and the harvest took place in hot weather, so this is probably a metaphor for cool, fresh water from a clean stream. If your language has no word for snow, consider "cool, fresh, clean water." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# snow
|
|
|
|
white flakes of ice that fall from the sky like rain

|
# brings back the life of his masters
|
|
|
|
This means he makes his masters, who are weak and tired, to be strong and rested again.
