Names
Unna (Und)
Trimmer, ligger or bank runner, essentially a device allowing the business end of a fishing line to remain dangling in the water for extended periods (e.g. all night for pike, or while you go and cook sausages for ice-fishing). Could be a disk-shaped block of wood that floats, or one too large to pass through the hole in the ice, a spring-action system planted into the snow... Part of a fishing-tackle group, see also Vabe.
Ussilaka (Ussilakk)
Paris, truelove, true-lover’s knot, or herb paris, Paris quadrifolia, from the Latin par:paris, ‘equal’, due to its regular leaves, not the city. Also poisonous, perhaps suggesting its Estonian name: snake’s mane. But uss also means worm; see Ussimäe. One of the Mähe flower-name group, see Aianduse.
