Names
Linda (Linda)
Linda, wife of Kalev; hence mother of Kalevipoeg; also daughter of Taara/Uku. Having your country’s symbolic matriarch raped by a foreigner speaks volumes about your self-perception. Sigmund would have had you couch it out long ago. Anagram of Landi. See Kalevipoja.
Lindakivi (Lindakivi)
Boulder in Lake Ülemiste. One of the stones that Kalevipoeg’s mother was carrying to Kalevi’s grave and fell out of her apron-pocket. She sat on it and wept, creating the lake. At least, this is the commonest legend, but none of them have gained much credence among geologists. And there are 4 boulders anyway. For those with an interest in Estonia’s recent past, Carrying Linda’s Stones (see refs) is highly recommended; available from your local bookstore. Erratic boulder location: ///womb.obeyed.panting. For other erratic-themed locations, see Lõuka.
Lindamägi (Lindamägi) 
Linda’s mountain or hill. Often called Lindamäe Park. Built on top of the former Swedish bastion, or Rootsi kants (?-1939, etc.), and known variously in the past as Schwedenbastion (1907), etc.
