I am sorry, but I do not have sufficient information to address the correspondence between the origin of the kanji character 陸 and your native language.
The kanji 陸 is a pictophonetic character (形声文字, けいせいいもじ). It is composed of two parts: ⚫︎ The left side is 阝 (こざとへん, kozatohen), which is a radical often found in kanji related to terrain or locations. It originally depicted a mound or hill, later it became a component often associated with land features. ⚫︎ The right side is 六 (ろく, roku), which means "six." The original meaning was related to "a piece of elevated land with six elements." Over time, the meaning shifted to refer more generally to land or the shore. The combination of these components gave it both the semantic (meaning) and phonetic (sound) components. The phonetic element is 六 which provides the sound, while 阝 suggests the meaning related to land. The historical evolution has led to its present meaning of "land" or "shore."
