Timuti (Timut)

Timothy grass, cat’s-tail. Formerly known as Tarabella (1910-1939), at one stage believed to be some mythological deity, but in fact turned out to be the name of city councilor and arbitrageur Albert Koba’s dog. Other streets he named after the more bipedal members of his family (see Pebre). Despite the sordid Machiavellian rumors, there seem to be only four ‘Kobaesque’ street names attributed to him in all: the present one, his own, Alberti, Olga, perhaps his blameless better half, and one Oskari (friend? business partner? in-law?...). Today, part of a fodder and staples street-name group. See Õle.
