Many derivatives yes, but none related to ice or snow or at least to
water...
Also the 'brigtness' suggested by *bHeh2- was a "bright white-red"
one -> a 'purple' color (please at list to consult the list of
cognates).
So sorry to tell you , but even the color is 'not good enough' :) So
how you arrive to invent it?
Etymologies like: '"any kind" of shine' -> 'snow' ; 'falling down' -

etymologies.
'Unfortunately' Abdullah, there is nothing written in DEX on this
area to 'can finish' it.

What is this ? "Oldest form *bheH2-" "colored to
bhaH2" , "contracted to bha:" :) => a new terminology? or a copy
