Auna (Aun)

 Shock of sheaves; stack or cock; stack of peat. In this instance, a relatively small type of haystack, similar in volume to Kuhja, but without the vertical pole, and built up from sheaves instead of loose hay. Given the importance of cereal crops, there are various synonyms around the country: Rõugu in N Est, mügam/mügame in the west and on Saaremaa, and others of variable identity, köks/köksi, etc., (for details, see Vihu). Street started life (1932) as Muru, Ger. Rasenstrasse, grass, lawn, turf, and Rus. Дерновая (dernovaya), turf-covered or turf-edged, so they probably intended to stay closer to the sod than the cock. Switched in 1959 when the new street-name zoning came into being. Part of a fodder and staples street-name group. See Heina.

Betooni (Betoon)

Concrete. Part of a loose construction-materials group. See also Gaasi.
