| - I\'m not sure but I think that \"kfor\", \"qor\" and \"kara\" are nouns, while \"qarir\" is an adjective. \"kfor\" and \"qara\" are frost, while \"qor\" is cold. I sometimes listen to the forecast on Israeli radio stations and they warn drivers of \"qara\", I\'ve never heard the word \"kfor\" used in this context, but I read it in literary texts. | |

| - That\'s right! כפור = קרה and they both mean \"frost\". \"קריר\" is an adjective and it means \"cool\". \"קור\" = cold | |
