Käbi (Käbi)

Cone (pine or otherwise, street parallel to Orava). (Also strobila, larval stage of jellyfish or segment of a tapeworm). Käbi ei kuku kännust kaugele, literally, the cone doesn’t fall far from the stump, usually rendered: a chip off the old block, but with, in earlier days perhaps, a slightly negative tone, since Kännu also means old fogey. On the other hand, since this is actually 3.5 km away, perhaps we ought give less credence to proverbs... Note too the abundance of k’s, a letter occupying a special place in Estonian hearts. At least 15% of Estonian words start with K.
