ground, land (surface of the Earth, especially that which is not covered by water) · ground, floor, down (physically lower, no matter the material) · dry ground, port, shore
çekim: çoğul maat · tamlayan maan
köken: From Proto-Finnic *maa (compare Estonian maa, Karelian mua), from Proto-Uralic *mëxe (compare Komi-Zyrian му (mu), Udmurt му (mu), Northern Mansi ма̄ (mā)). Further also probably cognate with the initial component of Erzya мастор (mastor).
From torra (“dry (definite or plural)”) + land (“land”). Earlier also "torra landet" (the dry land), which would be expected grammatically, but is no longer idiomatic (though "torra land" can also be read as "dry lands").
