earthly, of the earth
1. earthly, of the earth Adjective describing things or persons belonging to or characteristic of the earth, in contrast to the heavenly or divine realm. All inflectional forms (neuter plural, feminine singular, genitive masculine plural) share the same core meaning. Multilingual evidence: eng 'earthly/earthly things/of earthly ones', spa 'terrenales/terrenal/de terrenales' (earthly/of earthly), hin 'prithvi/sansarik/prithviwale' (of earth/worldly/earth-dwellers), arb 'al-ardiyyat/ardiyya/al-ardiyyiin' (earthly things/earthly/the earthly ones), kor 'ttang-ui geotdeul/sesang jeok/ttang-ui geotdeul' (things of earth/worldly/things of earth), swa 'ya duniani/ya kidunia/duniani' (of the world). Used theologically to contrast earthly with heavenly realities (John 3:12, Phil 3:19, Jas 3:15) and to describe the earthly body or tent (2 Cor 5:1).
