1937 Discovery May 159/1 The question whether firn or neve can form in a single year.

1967 ‘G. Carr’ Lewker in Tirol iv. 57 On the east arête..there may be hard névé or ice.

1990 Mountain Nov. 17/3 Folks have been cramponning on névé for a while but Bill and Johnny took it all onto the hard, brittle water-ice.

2. A field or bed of such snow on the upper part of a glacier.
