    Martti LutherMartin Luther
    • 1985, Matti Kuusi, Ohituksia, Otava, →ISBN:
      Kiistaa ei tullut. Ylimmäisenä jakomestarina oli Martti -eno, kalamiesten johtaja, mummuni nuorin veli. — Miksi Martikkalan nimi on Martikkala? kysyi Reino-serkku meiltä nuoremmilta ja vastasi itse: siksi että siellä kaikki miehet ovat Martteja, siksi että tikka hakkasi sen ullakon rei’ille, ja siksi että Martti-eno on aina kalassa.
      There were no disagreements. Uncle Martti, the leader of the fishermen, the youngest brother of my grandma, did the meting out. — Why is Martikkala named Martikkala? cousin Reino asked us younger ones and answered his question himself: because all men there are named Martti, because a woodpecker [tikka] made holes all over its attic, and because uncle Martti is always fishing [kalassa].
