TC:When you find yourself on an ideally flat plain...

When you find yourself on an ideally flat plain, where the cows are prettier than the girls, that means you are in the Netherlands. [Belgian proverb]

Buruya Nzaysa:

Pɔwə uvi ri ste’ɔ mvəbo ɔ mɛslu opsa nowɛga amo, o ñalta ri steyaxa lo mɛsa lu aduna ah ñɛlmɔ sopsə, ni stɔ ni la Kasaga ɔdɔ kwɛno.

If it happens that you're travelling through perfectly flat meadows, and that the cows are in fact surpassing the girls in beauty, then you must be walking through Kasca.

What's the etymology of Kasaga? Does it mean "lowlands"?
