Kurepõllu (Kurepõld) 
Crane’s field. Sub-district formerly known as Turba and 11. Lasnamäe mikrorajoon, assembled from two streets, neither of which now exist. Since today’s Kure was baptised in Mooni Ward (allasum) on Valentine’s day 1958, Its Kurepõllu counterpart was scrapped 4 months later; and Põllu, which already existed in Nõmme, was renamed Lasnamäe põik, and then scrapped too. A new Kurepõllu tänav, planned to cross from Narva to Valge, was created in 2001, is still thinking about it.
Kurereha (Kurereha)
Geranium, crane’s bill, Geranium spp. Names come from the shape of the spring-action fruit capsule allowing for seed dispersal resembling the beak of a crane: Latin: Geranion from Greek: γερανος (geranos): crane. Ditto Estonian: Kure, crane & reha, rake, the latter due to the appearance of the fruit capsule’s five ‘catapult arms’. One of a meadow flower or grass group. See Lõosilma.
Kurni (Kurn)
Game involving six wooden pins to be knocked down by a cudgel, more often or accurately the pin itself. Played by Kalevipoeg as a child. Russian game of Городки (gorodki), lit.: ‘townlets’. Part of a mini game-name area. See Mängu.
Kursi (Kurss)
Course, shipping route. Next to the harbour, but there’s an ATM there too, so ‘rate of exchange’ is equally valid too. The street looks, maybe incidentally, like it follows an old (1310) water course (Lat. fossa, anything ranging from canal to ‘ditch’) called Schilpesgraven (after a person’s name or perhaps related to mod Ger. schirren or tschilpen, to chirp or twitter like a sparrow?) leading from the moat that forked away from the city at about the same longitude as Oleviste and continued almost due N to the sea.
