Kilde (?)
Old farm name. Etymology most uncertain. Possibly from kild:killu, fragment, suggesting the result of a farm heritage division? Kild was also a relatively common man’s name in the 18th C. Perhaps (but unlikely) related to Old Norse kelda, spring or source? One older, alternative cadastral name is spelled Gilde...
Kivipere (Kivipere)
Stone homestead, probably an old farm name.
Koogu (Kook)
Hook, but comes in different varieties, usually a retaining- or lifting-device such as an S-shaped pothook, ahjukook (for ovens) or pajakook (for smithies), a bucket pole, kaevukook (well hook, for drawing water from wells) but also, when singular, kaelkook (neck hook), a hobble for horses (forked branch between neck and hind leg) or, when plural kaelkoogud (i.e. neck hooks), milkmaid’s shoulder-yoke, carrying-pole, etc. I’m sure there are others…
Kõpla (Kõblas)
Hoe or mattock. Alternative name for Kabli. Given its recent naming in 2023 (still unbuilt) alongside another harvest-related street, Kärbise, its other acception of spud or bark spud, aka peeling-iron, used to remove the bark from trees or timber seems more likely.
