Kahu (Kahu)
Son of Pakase, which perhaps makes him young and cool... Kahk:kahu means slight rustle, whisper.

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, defense. 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.
