Pidu (0)

Festival, feast, banquet, public celebration. Odd, the genitive of pidu is peo, and Laulupeo (1923) corrected itself two years after initially naming itself Laulupidu, and this was created in 1927... Crosses Leina suggesting the ‘party’ might actually have been the wake... But, no, named for nearby square hosting folk festivals, the nominative hinting at a longer history of festival usage.

Pihlaka (Pihlakas)

Aka harilik pihlakas, rowan, common or European rowan, mountain ash, Sorbus aucuparia. Considered a holy tree. Its berries are an important food for many Estonian birds. Group of berry streets near the Liiva Kalmistu (cemetery). See Pihlamarja.

Piipheina (Piiphein)

Woodrush, Luzula spp. Lit. pipe hay, like Piibelehe, its name may be due to it’s cylindrical stems. One day, the street will rise from its hidden location in the woods close to a car park not far from Tallinn TV Tower. Maybe.

Pikakase (Pikakask)

Tall birch. Name chosen to replace its former one of Soone põik (NB: different location). Since a põik should at least have the decency of springing off a tänav or similar, and this one ‘started’ at Trummi then gave up halfway, its prior name was abandoned.
