Islandi (Island)
Iceland, known for its various fishy banks. First state to recognise Estonia’s re-establishment as independent, on 22nd August 1991.
Kesk-Ameerika (Kesk-Ameerika)
Central America. Give or take a meter or two, connects Suur-Ameerika and Väike-Ameerika. Once known (1913) as Neue Alimannstraße (don’t ask) whose single claim to fame is a 1911-11-09 newspaper report that, paraphrasing, Wäsche wird gestohlen, some laundry was nicked from No.28. Renamed (1959-1991), apparently bizarrely (but actually fitting into a ‘skyscape’ group), as Kuu during the Soviet occupation.
Kesk-Luha (Kesk-Luha)
Mid-Luha (qv), about which there seems not much to say... other than mildly rant about Estonia’s perception of what a ‘street’ actually is… See About the Dictionary.
Kiire (Kiire)
Ray, as in sun or light. Street now suffering from severe personality disorder. Actually, two distinct streets, sorta, on either side of the railway running alongside Tehnika to Balti Jaam. During the Soviet occupation, Väike-Ameerika (E of tracks) was renamed Kiire (1950-1991) and the existing Kiire was renamed Väike-Kiire (1950-1996). Later (1990), the then Kiire tn from the railway to Tulika along with Kiire põik (W of tracks) were renamed Kotkapoja, and Kiire tn from Tehnika (next to the railway) to Pärnu switched back to Väike-Ameerika) while in 1996 (see Bremeni käik) Väike-Kiire reverted to its original Kiire.
