Kummeli (Kummel)
Camomile, Latin name debated. Plant beloved by new-agers for treating alcohol withdrawal, asthma, bronchitis, colic, cough, diarrhœa, dysmenorrhea, ear infection, brain extraction and nuclear winters. Street name with longest (?) anagram: Lemmiku, which might explain its popularity. One of the Mähe flower-name group, see Kõdra.
Kungla (Kungla)
A sort of pseudomythological Estonian Arcady that found its way into 19th‑C Estonian writers’ minds and books. Believed invented by Kreutzwaldi F.R. and probably Esto-Swedish for place of king(s). The Swedish island of Gotland, Ojamaa in Est. (lit. island ‘land’, see Hiiu for long-winded and extremely rambling discussion), is named Kungla on some old maps. Estonia Klaverivabrik AS, the ‘Estonia’ piano works is at No.41.
Künka (Küngas): Mount, small hill, butte, knoll, hummock (see Mäe). King of the Castle is künkakuningas.
Künnapuu (Künnapuu)
Called European white or fluttering elm by the Brits and Russian elm by the Americans, Ulmus laevis. Interesting names! The first part comes from künnap (sinew, tendon, indicating its strength) and the Latin species name looks like a Latinised genitive of Estonian laev (ship). Appropriate, since its highly water-resistant timber has long been used for underwater piles, water pipes and ship-building. Sadly, it’s not. Despite Latinists rejecting the æ or ae in the word, botanists like it so there we are, and levis simply means ‘light’ or ‘smooth’, more the hairless variety, hence also youth and pallor, hence ‘white elm’.
