Names
Kompassi (Kompass): 
Compass. Not street, but square. Probably after an inn of that name. There was a street here first recorded in 1830 as sogenannte (so-called) Compass-strasse.
Komsomoli (Komsomol)
Youth wing of the Soviet Union Communist Party: the Communist Union of Youth. Well over half of today’s adult Russian population is believed to have once been a member (which might explain a thing or two…). See also Pioneeride. Soviet occupation renaming (1950-1991) of Suur-Ameerika.
Kõnnu (Kõnd)
Word of varying but similar meanings, here, probably: empty, largely unproductive and uncultivated land, while elsewhere in Estonia it could be – if not derived from a lost Germanic name – high, dry, hillocky and clayey, random woodland, or even wet, sodden land, leading, in a post-widely-agricultural society (for some, kõnd is an ‘extinct landscape term’) to the notion of wasteland or desolation. Not to be confused with kõnd:kõnni, meaning walk or walking. Sorta part of the sinister-street zone, see Kume. Known as Kanarbiku until 1958.
