“oth” was the elvish word for Winter

In a previous reply on 17/2/19 you said that “oth” was the elvish word for Winter. Can we assume that “loress” works for “cold season” generally or is it a racial version of Winter (i.e. used by the wood elves)? Yes. "Oth" is the macro 'cold time of year' whereas "loress" is 'nature's cold season' for gardeners/growing things. When speaking of blizzards, closed roads, and dying of exposure, say "oth," but when speaking of hibernation, dormancy, and cold-resistant plants, say "loress." :}
