callit belongs to a class of nouns that have an irregular definite form, namely callingut (rather than *callitut). Many nouns ending in -t behave in this way – such as arut ‘star’, definite arundut, or ndárt ‘ram’, definite ndárevut.
Notably, callit is one of the two words with the general meaning ‘snow’ in High Eolic. The other is arnús. More accurately, arnús means ‘mountaintop’, but it can also refer to snow visible on mountains in the distance. In some dialects, however, it is the word for ‘snow’ more generally – or, more specifically, snow lying on the ground (as opposed to snowflakes falling down from clouds).
