çekim: çoğul etanat · tamlayan etanan
köken: From Proto-Finnic *etana, further origin unknown. Possibly related to Proto-Germanic *etaną (“to eat”) and/or *etunaz (“overeater, glutton”).
From poltro (“lazy, cowardly”), from poltro ("couch, bed"; compare Lombard polter (“couch”), Venetan poltrona (“couch”)), ultimately from Lombardic polstar (“cushion, pillow”), from Proto-West Germanic *bolstr (“cushion, pillow”) + -one. Cognate with Old High German polstar (“bolster”), English bolster. The adjective is derived from the noun.
