Qaingu - Ice Watch Word of the Week 2
About
The SIKU Ice Watch Word of the Week is Qaingu ᖃᐃᖑ (Qainngu ᖃᐃᙳ, Qainnuq ᖃᐃᓐᓄᖅ, Qaimnguq).
Qaingu is ice that forms along the shore in the fall at the high tide line when Qinu, or slushy ice, is pushed onto the shore and builds up from waves and tides, where it freezes from slush into more solid Qaingu.
