The result was four new vessels that combined the maneuverability of oar-powered galleys with the superior rigs and decent living conditions of sailing ships: the udema, pojama, turuma and hemmema, named after the Finnish regions of Uudeenmaa (Uusimaa), Pohjanmaa, Turunmaa and Hämeenmaa (Tavastia).
This claim is at least partly true, since men from Pirkkala appear as witnesses in a document from 1374 about local borders in northern Pohjanmaa.
The result was four new vessels that combined the maneuverability of oar-powered galleys with the superior rigs and decent living conditions of sailing ships: the udema, pojama, turuma and hemmema, named after the Finnish regions of Uusimaa ("Uudenmaan" in genitive form), Pohjanmaa, Turunmaa and Hämeenmaa (Tavastia).
In the dialect of Pohjanmaa, the 'h' is not removed; one does say talohon.
The name "Pohja" has also been carried on, even though the battalion is stationed nowhere near Pohjanmaa.
The name "pojama" has been carried on (in its more modern variant) as a traditional vessel name in the Finnish navy, with the current flagship named after the type.
