Ah, the old story about the various Inuit names for snow, isn't it.
How about
natural=snow
snow=slush
snow=sleet
snow=blizzard
snow=drift
How about
natural=snow
snow=slush
snow=sleet
snow=blizzard
snow=drift
snow=white-out

I almost got to use natural=snow here the other day but it had

Hey! This sounds sensible.
Why not as
place=village (or what happens to suit that place) and
place:ph=barangay ?

Hi,
We are having a discussion in talk-ph on tagging barangays:

Just to summarise a bit:
2 major points:
1. If its a barangay then tag them as such, place=barangay
2. Well it is the same as a village, then tag them as place:village
