Names
Kurni (Kurn)
Game involving six wooden pins to be knocked down by a cudgel, more often or accurately the pin itself. Played by Kalevipoeg as a child. Russian game of Городки (gorodki), lit.: ‘townlets’. Part of a mini game-name area. See Mängu.
Kursi (Kurss)
Course, shipping route. Next to the harbor, but there’s an ATM there too, so ‘rate of exchange’ is equally valid too. The street looks, maybe incidentally, like it follows an old (1310) water course (Lat. fossa, anything ranging from canal to ‘ditch’) called Schilpesgraven (after a person’s name or perhaps related to mod Ger. schirren or tschilpen, to chirp or twitter like a sparrow?) leading from the moat that forked away from the city at about the same longitude as Oleviste and continued almost due N to the sea.
