Cold but not frozen

Maolsheachlann's recent post "Interesting Words" led me to leave a comment mentioning the scene in the Balzac novel Le Père Goriot where people keep putting the suffix -rama on different words. I last read that novel in 2012 and didn't remember all the details of the scene, so just now I looked it up, clicking on the first search result that came up for balzac rama, a page called "Elfinspell: Honoré de Balzac [1821-1881]: The Suffix 'Rama ...," which has an uncredited English translation which I recognized as somewhat different from the Henry Reed version I read back in 2012. It includes this exchange:

"It's a rare old frizzorama!" said Vautrin. "Now, then, Father Goriot, move round a bit -- Ye gods! your feet stop up the mouth of the stove."

"Illustrious M. Vautrin," said Bianchon, "why do you say frizzorama? It is a mistake; you should say freezorama."

"No!" interposed the museum official. "It is frizzorama; according to the rule you should say: my feet are frizzen."

"Ha, ha!"

Since freezing has been in the sync stream ("Many are cold, but few are frozen"), I looked up the original:

— Il fait un fameux froitorama! dit Vautrin. Dérangez-vous donc, père Goriot! Que diable! votre pied prend toute la gueule du poêle.

— Illustre monsieur Vautrin, dit Bianchon, pourquoi dites-vous froitorama ? Il y a une faute, c'est froidorama.

— Non, dit l'employé du Muséum, c'est froitorama, par la règle: «J'ai froit aux pieds.»

— Ah! ah!

Neither froid nor the variant froit means "frozen"; both words mean "cold." Many feet are cold, but few are frozen.
