         Comments: In {S:06600800700014} and {S:06601602100004} it is possible that χάλαζα is better interpreted as referring to a ‘hailstorm.’|In a number of languages hail is described as ‘frozen rain,’ but it may be referred to by more idiomatic expressions such as ‘cloud stones’ or ‘ice stones.’
