kalma

From Proto-Finnic *kalma, likely from Proto-Uralic *kalma (compare Erzya калмо (kalmo, “grave”)), formed as *kale- (“to die”) + *-ma (compare kuolema, formed as kuole- + -ma, both from the same verb with the same suffix, but at different times; kuolema is still recognizable as a deverbal noun, while kalma is not).

kalma

1. (objects, people or figuratively) calm, still, placid

Kalma indicates a completely passive and material state that does not move: maro kalma a calm sea (i.e. not agitated by the wind). Tranquila has the sense of simultaneously material and mental, but preferably active: which does not agitate itself, does not move itself without usefulness or reason: vicini tranquila tranquil neighborhoods (which are not noisy). Lastly, quieta expresses a mental state, better defined by its opposition desquieteso (“disquietude, inquietude”) and desquieta (“disquiet”).
