köken: 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").
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).
