Now that we have a 雪の結晶 entry with "snowflake" as a gloss, I think we should make the distinction clear.

I can't see how it could be done without getting too far into the mechanics of snowflake formation. All the JEs just have "snowflake".

I wonder if it should be made clear in the gloss that this doesn't refer to a single ice crystal.
