A short root with a full set of useful children: nuba for cloudy, o for a wisp, o for a great bank of the things, and sennuba for cloudless. The weather verb is i, to cloud over, using the become suffix. English's figurative "a cloud over" transfers fine, so for a frown reads naturally. Note the spelling with a b, not a v - it is , and the French and Spanish cognates will try to lead you astray towards nuage and nube.
