glinty
Flashing small reflections
Glinty describes something that glints—catching light in small, bright flashes.
Eyes can be glinty, suggesting sharpness or a hard gleam: She fixed him with a glinty stare.
The word often implies something slightly cold or metallic in quality: glinty winter sunlight, the glinty surface of the lake.
