Kunderi J.
(Juhan Kunder, 1852-1888)
Writer known mainly for folk tales or fairy tales, e.g. Eesti Muinasjutud (usually translated as Estonian Fairytales). Occasional firefighter who died of typhus (probably unrelated).
Pruuali (?)
Named after a former farm, probably a poolmõis (see Mõisa) named for what seem to be a ‘dynasty’ of brewer-type names: Andres Brauer (1692), then Mart Pruwer and Jahn Prubere (1725). See Õllepruuli, suggesting other crops or occupations. A footpath just outside Tallinn…
Saha-Loo (Saha-Loo)
Nothing to do with Saha (above) but refers to the 2 villages of Saha (home to the pre-1241 Saha Kabel (St Nikolaus chapel: ///raindrops.everything.squealing) and ‘sacrificial’ stone (Maardu hiiemetsa ohvrikivi: ///saunters.pokes.springy) and Loo in nearby Jõelähtme (see Kangru). Peat bog and site of fossil fields dating back to mid Bronze Age (14-11th C BCE). And yet another street on other side of the road from Tallinn. Oops.
Soosambla (Soosammal)
Angled paludella moss or tufted fen-moss, Paludella squarrosa. See also Soovildiku. Actually a couple of microns on the wrong side of the track, in Laagri, not Tallinn but, hell, I like moss.
