Noun
land n
- land (dry portion of the Earth's surface)
- a country
- region within a country: district, province
- the country, countryside
- owned or tilled land, an estate
Usage notes
- Using the word land is the most common way to form country names. This can be done in one of two ways:
- Prefixing the name of a people to the word land. Ex: Franca (“French person”) → Francland (“France”), Swēo (“Swede”) → Swēoland (“Sweden”), and *Unger (“a Hungarian”) → Ungerland (“Hungary”).
- Prefacing land with the genitive plural form of a people, producing the literal meaning “land of ____ people.” Ex: Egypta land (“Egypt”, literally “land of the Egyptians”), Siġelhearwena land (“Ethiopia”, literally “land of the Ethiopians”).
- However, country names can also be formed other ways. For instance, words other than land are used: Dene (“a Dane”) → Denemearc (“Denmark”, literally “Dane borderland”). It is also very common to use the name of a people for the country they inhabit: On þām dagum wæs Alexander ġeboren on Crēcum swā swā miċel ȳst cōme ofer ealne middanġeard (“In those days, Alexander was born in Greece [lit. in the Greeks] like a great storm coming over the whole world”), Ymb twā ġēar þæs þe hē cōm of Francum, hē ġefōr (”Two years after he came from France [lit. from the Franks], he died”). In addition, country names are sometimes loaned directly from Latin: Arabia, Isrāēl, Italia, Syria. Finally, some country names are simply idiomatic: Norþweġ (“Norway”, literally “north way”).
- Unlike most words, land undergoes i-umlaut when combined with the suffix -isċ: inlendisċ (“native”), uplendisċ (“rural”).

- 2007, Laser Inc (lyrics and music), “Det var en gång en fågel [Once upon a time, there was a bird]”:
- Det var en gång en liten fågel. Ja, en fågel. Han bodde på landet, och Roger hette han. Han ville gärna leka med sina vänner, med sina vänner, men det fick inte han. Men denna historia slutar sorgligt, för Roger blev skjuten, skjuten i magen av gamle jägar'n [jägaren] Pär. Han ville hem och äta, äta en fågel med lite potäter, men Roger hann iväg.
- Once upon a time, there was a little bird. Yes, a bird. He lived in the countryside, and Roger was his name. He wanted to play with his friends ["He wanted gladly to play with his friends," in the sense of, "He wanted, with keenness, to play with his friends" – the translation skips the gärna as it doesn't make much difference to the meaning], with his friends, but [that – to play with his friends] he didn't get to. But this story ends sadly, because Roger was shot, shot in the stomach by old hunter Pär ["den gamle jägaren Pär" matches "the old hunter Pär" – skipping "den" makes "jägaren Pär" sound lexicalized]. He wanted to go home and eat, eat a bird with some potatoes, but Roger got away [in time].
