Names
Säde (Säde)
Spark, Estonian translation of Lenin’s (Oops, the Russian Social Democratic Workers’ Party’s) short-lived newspaper of that name, Искра (Iskra). As the joke went: Lenin called Stalin and asked: “How do you like the latest Iskra?” – “Very nice paper, Vladimir Ilyich, very soft.” The genitive of säde is actually Sädeme. So presumably either because used as a nominative (not very likely) or to emphasize the titular nature of the spark in question, this is an alternative genitive (see Süda P.). Soviet occupation renaming (1948-1987) of Pühavaimu. Known as Iskra for a brief spell in 1941, and Hel(l)iste (1885-1921), Heiligengeiststraße (1907) and hilligööst ulits (1732) then all the way back to hilgen gheestes strate (1405), variations of holy/holiness or holy ghost in German, Esto-Germano-Russian and MLG, god knows...
Sädeme (Säde)
Spark, sparkle. Part of a fire, fire-making and fireplace group, see Taela.
Saeveski (Saeveski)
Sawmill. Formerly a continuation of Rulli (1958-1963) previously known as Rulli jatk (annex/extension, 1949-1958), a variant of jätk, the sole occurrence of this term in Estonian odonymy.
Sagari (?)
Former farm name of various possibilities: 1) sagr:sagri means shaggy-headed, and an ‘a’ can easily be dropped or added; 2) related to sakard:sakardi, the extracted stump and roots of a tree, which could either be tailored to make a rake or fork or, depending on size, could also be hewn to form the upright and crossbeam of a door, or the first row of its corresponding wall, see the Open-Air Museum at Vabaõhumuuseumi for actual examples; 3) sagar:sagara is a wooden door hinge or the male part thereof, and sagarik is a smaller version of this (showing a possible a/i switch); and 4) that it comes from the name Zacharias… From the name-worthiness point of view, all four are attractive.
Saha-Loo (Saha-Loo)
Nothing to do with Saha (above) but refers to the 2 villages of Saha (home to the pre-1241 Saha Kabel (St Nikolaus chapel: ///raindrops.everything.squealing) and ‘sacrifical’ stone (Maardu hiiemetsa ohvrikivi: ///saunters.pokes.springy) and Loo in nearby Jõelähtme (see Kangru). Peat bog and site of fossil fields dating back to mid Bronze Age (14-11th C BCE). And yet another street on other side of the road from Tallinn. Oops.
