From Old Pomorian snēiges, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *snaigas, compare to Old Prussian snāigs, Lithuanian sniegas, Latvian sniegs, Proto-Slavic **sně̑gъ. From Proto-Indo-European *snóygʷʰos, compare with Sanskrit स्नेह (snéha), English snow. The diphthong ''ēi'' is the result of an old acute intonation having lengthened the vowel. Similar change happened in Old Prussian and some Slavic languages. | From Old Pomorian snēiges, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *snaigas, compare to Old Prussian snāigs, Lithuanian sniegas, Latvian sniegs, Proto-Slavic **sně̑gъ.
