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: →,  → , and  →.
 * Prefacing land with the genitive plural form of a people, producing the literal meaning “land of ____ people.” Ex:,.
 * However, country names can also be formed other ways. For instance, words other than land are used: → . 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: , , , . Finally, some country names are simply idiomatic:.
 * Unlike most words, land undergoes when combined with the suffix :,.
