Mureli (Murel)
Morello cherry. Commonly found in Estonia – along with the pomegranate, mango and banana – in supermarkets. One of a group of berry streets in Lilleküla Sub-district. See also Mustasõstra.
Piibelehe (Piibeleht)
Lit. pipe-leaf, alternative name for Maikellukese, lily of the valley, Convallaria majalis, etymology uncertain: piip:piibu prob. from Swed. pipa (pipe or whistle, the pipe being the whitish stem of a clay pipe, which could resemble one of its rhizomes), but the association of leht:lehe tacked onto piip:piibu suggests the whistling noise made by tensing two leaves, like blades of grass, between the fingers and blowing. In English, the tip of the rhizome (for some, the rhizome itself or even the entire plant) is called a ‘pip’, so we’re dealing with a much time-bemisted word here.
Masina (Masin)
Machine, engine. Street in the heart of a former industrial complex. The B. Drümpelmanni Masinaehitustehas (B. Drümpelmann’s mechanical engineering plant) was at No.1. Are you not glad to know this?
Püssirohu (Püssirohi)
Gunpowder, cordite. Lit. rifle weed / grass / medicine, ironically, since it was used as a medicine... After local powder store called Püssirohu ait (see Aida), demolished in 1917 and now paved over by the NE arc of the running-tracks in the Kalevi Stadium. This was not the only store, there seem to have been at least 2 more at suitable distances away from each other stretching for almost a kilometre due SW. Local lore has it that there also used to be stables for konka horses (see Hobujaama) at the Võistluse end of the street too, possible given the then green spaces nearby and the Tartu mnt section of the line ending some 50 m away near Gildi.
