Äkke (Äke)
Harrow (agricultural implement). Road built and paired with Kaaruti.
Alemaa (Alemaa)
Ale is one of Estonia’s various slash-and-burn terms for a plot of cleared, burnt land ready for planting. Other dialect words for the same or very similar include saat (in the Mulgi or Viljandi dialect), sõõrd (in the Tartu & Võru dialects but see also Sõõru) and uht (apparently, in the Lääne [Western] dialect), so this means assart, grubbed land, forest-clearing, swidden. Part of a land-clearing group of streets, see also Põlendiku.
Hargi (Hark)
Dungfork, also fork, pitchfork, prong. Part of a harvest street-name group. See Kabli.
Kaaruti (Kaarutus)
Turning over the hay, or tedding, in olden days done with a rake, now with a mechanical tedder, to wuffle it up. And if you don’t just love those words there’s nothing I can do. Road built and paired with Äkke.
