16. 'The glinzy ice grows thicker through'. (28)

Author's glossary explains #glinzy# as slippery. _E.D.D._ gives

this word as _glincey_ and derives from French _glincer_ as _glisser_,

to slide or glide. _Glinzy_ and _glincey_ carry unavoidable suggestion

of _glint_. Compare the words in No. 19. _Glissery_ would be convincing.
