Names
Pauna (Paun)
Bag, pouch, knapsack, or something pouch-shaped. New street planned (2019) in Haabersti opposite Põllumäe south of Tiskre. Stiff competition for the name, beating, käär:kääru (turn, curve or bend, or bounded loop of land or water), look:looke (shaft bow, the decorative arch connecting the two shafts or thills [see Aisa] of a horse-drawn cart, but Looga already used) and silmus:silmuse (loop knot, noose or hempen collar). Given the meanders of the Tiskre river, all three were acceptable, but no... Then again, paun in N. Estonian dialect also means a marshy river lough, so. See also Kriibi.
Pebre (Peber)
Broken or crushed hay and seeds at the bottom of the hayrick. During Soviet times, collecting these perishables was rewarded by special travel permits, allowing many women and children to visit otherwise inaccessible destinations such as the ski resorts of central Siberia. Formerly Sõnajala (1939-1959) and Olga (1910-1939), after Albert Koba’s wife. See Timuti. Part of a fodder and staples street-name group. See Ristiku.
Pedaja (Pedajas)
Pine. Alternative name for Männi.
Peetri (Peeter)
Almost certainly Peter the Great, ruled 1682-1721, widely considered the greatest of male Russian monarchs, and go-to Tsar for any Russian-based naming-project not involving the Soviets, the main one being Peter the Great’s Naval Fortress, aka the Tallinn-Porkkala defence station built under Nicholas II, designed to protect Russia from attack by sea following the 1905 destruction of the Russian Baltic Fleet in the Battle of Tsushima, effectively ending the Russo-Japanese war. The distance between Tallinn and Porkkala (±36 km) was considered sufficient for guns on either side to create a barrier to any navy intent on attacking Saint Petersburg. See also Sõjakooli.
Pelgulinna (Pelgulinn)
Eponymous avenue (puiestee) of Pelgulinn asum created in 1921, and renamed Kolde in 1926. Clearly, someone had issues with this name.
Pelgulinna asum (Pelgulinn) 
Lit. town of asylum, refuge or shelter which, legend has it, was due to it being a common hiding-place for criminals and outlaws in the 18th C (Pelgulinn is right next to Kelmiküla). This may be true. Wiedemanni translates it as Freistadt, which could be one of two things: 1) a self-governing city (let’s say town, or zone), independent of the surrounding region, which sounds unlikely unless, for example (and I’m spit-balling here), the prime mover behind its development, Johann Grabby (or other player) was able to obtain special tax concessions for creating his brick-making factory there in 1879 (see Telliskivi), on land which was essentially unproductive marsh (according to Folio 7 of Friedrich Eurich’s 1880-82 map, it was named Quartal I., Quarter No.1, or Linna Soo, City Marsh); or 2) as per legend, a special legal zone where asylum was granted and asylum seekers could live, outlawry laws have often allowed this sort of refuge on inhospitable terrains, which does seem a bit closer to reality but still a tad too romanticized for some people’s taste. Considered a slum in the late-19th C. See Pelgulinna.
