  1. (poetic) hero
    • 1882, Viktor Rydberg, “Ateenalaisten laulu”, in Yrjö Veijola, transl., edited by "Sotilaspoika", Suomen sotilaan lauluja, 4th edition, Porvoo: Werner Söderström Osakeyhtiö, published 1933:
      Kaunis on kuolla, kun joukkosi eessä urhona kaadut,
      Taistellen puolesta maas, puolesta heimosikin.
      Hehkuvin mielin puoltaan nouse syntymämaatas,
      Riemuiten lastesi vuoks uhriksi henkesi suo!
      How fair it is to fall a hero for your men
      Fighting for your land, for your heimo too.
      Arise with passion for your birthland,
      Sacrifice with joy your life for your children!
