Laste (Lapsed [pl.])
Children. (Sing.: Laps). Probably after the nearby mother-and-infants hospital founded in 1924. Anagram of Lesta.
Lauka (Laugas)
Bog-pool. See my mother’s cooking.
Lauliku (Laulik)
Poet, bard, singer, often lead singer at weddings, or songbook. Temporarily Triigi N. (1940-1941).
Laulu (Laul)
Song, singing, ditty, ballad. Thought to be thus named for being squished between the Kandle, Sulevi and Ilmarise quadrangle, but TT states it was it was originally named – prior to the latters’ existence and irrespective of all three – after Pauline Laulu, local landowner (although she may well have sung from time to time too, gospels perhaps?... ;o). Also, coincidentally, not far from Tallinn Music High School.
