Kahu (Kahu)
Son of Pakase, which perhaps makes him young and cool... Kahk:kahu means slight rustle, whisper. For those fascinated with words describing obscure sounds, try this: rahin:rahina – sound made by partially-frozen water rubbing against the side of a boat. Renamed (1979-1994), along with Lummu, as Pusta A. during the Soviet occupation. Part of a magico-mythological group. See Kuukivi.
Kailu (Kail)
Ledum, march tea. Member of the Ericaceae or heath / heather family, formerly belonging to the Ledum genus, but now considered a Rhododendron. Generally used for ‘tea’, but see Sookailu. One of the Mähe flower-name group, see Kastevarre.
Kaitse (Kaitse)
Protection, defence. Kaitse is also the genitive of kaits which is a weir trap for catching fish but since the street was created in 1927 along with Värava the first translation is probably the one it’s referring to.
Kadaka tee (Kaddak)
Juniper, see Kadaka asum. Formerly Kaddakscher Weg, a roughly 2.7-km road running NE-SW from Mustamäe tee into an unenthusiastic field west of Rehe. See also Kadaka puiestee.
