The largest landmasses, each holding many places under one name. Division at the coarsest scale.

The ground-element and the home planet — soil, foundation, and the color of both.

Belonging to the basic constituents from which everything else is made. Of what is not reducible further.

The whole living system considered as one body, whose parts regulate one another. Names this house's classification layer — the ladder by which every thing is placed among its kin.

Taken as a whole rather than in parts. An overall figure hides every distribution inside it.

The same meaning carried into another tongue. A translation is a second saying, never a copy.
