>>42284106Unfortunately I don't actually speak Arabic, but I am something of an amateur, hobbyist, fake, not-really linguist, so I just tried to find the noun for pit and pair it with the genitive form of snow. "Pit of snow."
I would analyse "pity" as being a diminutive of "pit." I could have tried to find an arabic diminutive form of "pit," but I didn't think to do that.
