Names
Katleri (?) 
After name of local poolmõis (see Mõisa) owner August Kattler who bought it in 1877. Known previously and variously as Karlowa, Karlova or Carlowa Mõis or Карлова (after Carl Nikolai Koch who founded it in the early 1800s) and, once, Tondi. Name possibly related to katel:katla, for kettle, cauldron or boiler, from an old Germanic word, *katila, cauldron or pot, itself from Lat. catillus, a deep pan for cooking, hence the absence of lid so prominent in English (see Esku).
Katoliku Hoov (Adj.)
Catholic courtyard. It belong(s/ed?) to the Tallinna Dominiiklaste, Tallinn Dominicans (see Dominiiklaste), the tacky insignia of which, a dog, is a rather poor piece of Latin punning: the Dominicans, or Dominicanes as they like to be called, are a Catholic order founded in 1215 by St Dominic. Being defenders of the faith, they call themselves Domini Canes, dogs of the lord. Ho ho. That’s dog-Latin for you... See Risti.
