Väike (Väike)

Small, Lesser, Lower, generally used in compound names to designate a street or road with a big brother somewhere, usually nearby. Here, street in Nõmme previously known, would you believe it (yes), as Lai (1926-1959).

Väike-Laagri (Väike-Laager)

Little-camp. Rank inferior to the generally major road above it, Suur-Laagri.

Väike-Männiku (Väike-Männik)

Lesser Pine wood/grove. Like its shorter brother, Suur-Männiku, on the other side of Männiku tee, what looks like another service road leading to an industrial estate.

Väike-Paala (Väike-Paala)

Little-, lesser Paala. Street parallel to Suur-Paala about 200 m further east. It seems that the city went on a renaming binge in 1939 and changed this to Navesti, one of the various alternatives to Paala / Pala, giving it another parallel, but not getting it any closer to the site of Lembit’s last stand. See Suur-Paala.
