Mõrra (Mõrd)

Weel, fish snare, basket-trap, fish trap. Originally the fish basket made from withies or similar into which fish could swim but rarely escape, it now tends to mean the long tube tensed by rings looking like a single-ended lobster net. Next to Kalamehe, also earlier name of Vainu. Also, of course, one of the various slang terms for ‘vagina’.

Moskva (Moskva)

Moscow. Street existed in potentia since 1981, over which another street, Saaremaa puiestee was laid in 1986 and extended northwards to Narva. In October 2024, for reasons purely related to street-naming conventions, the 250-m northern stretch of the Moskva / Saaremaa hybrid had its Moskva designation officially revoked on 2024-10-15. Not wishing to spill oil here but, as the argument goes, if a street is all part of a humanly-recognizable single unit within the same District or not, there is no reason for 2 names.
