Well, I don't know what to make of this. When I saw the word, I
immediately thought, "yeah, I've seen that, now can I remember what it
means?". Then I saw Nick's snow hut def, and I thought, "yep, that's
it". But what I was thinking of was spelled "quinsy", and I can't
remember whether I only heard about the snow hut orally and just
imagined the spelling. Or maybe I've seen the other definition as
well. But if I have, I can't remember what it is. Sure seems
familiar, though.<br>

Damn, wasted a perfectly good definition! Apparently mine is
preferentially spelled quinzhee, as it is an amerind term (dunno from
where, but since I learned about them in MN I'd assume Ojibwe?), but
the romanization isn't standard.
