Names
Mureli (Murel)
Morello cherry. Commonly found in Estonia – along with the pomegranate, mango and banana – in supermarkets. One of a group of berry streets in Lilleküla Sub-district. See also Mustasõstra.
Muru (Muru)
Grass, turf, sod, lawn. See Auna.
Musimägi (0)
Common alternative spelling of Musumägi, musi may be a more childlike way of saying musu, kiss.
Mustakivi (Mustakivi) 
Black stone. Named after a nearby farm itself said to be named after an earlier cult stone. Mustakivi is one of Estonia’s erratic boulders, see Rändrahnu, located at ///stop.hamster.glorious. Renamed (1980-1989) as 21. Juuli during the Soviet occupation. Mustakivian Muslims bent on prayer should point themselves approx. 158° SSE to join the dots and face their own black stone, Kaaba (although the Dirhami rahn [Dirham stone] in Noarootsi, western Estonia, might give them more bucks for their bend ;o) See also Kivi. There is another Mustkivi erratic (without the ‘a’) on the Kakumäe peninsula at ///target.lagoon.continuation. For other erratic-themed locations, see Rändrahnu.
Mustamäe (Mustamägi)

Black hill, black mountain. Although use of the word ‘mountain’ is questionable (see Mäe for discussion). Most capital cities have buildings taller than Estonia’s mountains. Right or wrong, the nominative Mustamägi is sometimes heard. Even saying ‘black’ is questionable too. One of the only Estonian words which gives me a touch of urticaria is this one: must. It means black, but also dirty, and for people, a mustlane is a gypsy (not much better...). Reminds me of scrubland in the Pantanal, Brazil, described by one local as sujo, literally ‘dirty’ but to him meaning untamed, unfarmed, thus representing the dark, perhaps frightening, nature of tropical forest with its wild animals and insects. See Vana-Mustamäe. One of Tallinn’s 8 Districts (Linnaosad). It includes the following Asumid (Sub-districts): Kadaka, Mustamäe, Siili and Sääse. See Nõmme.
