Hane (Hani)

Goose (also figurative: simpleton, pigeon), seven avian (and an undisclosed number of hominid) species known to nest or lose their feathers in Estonia: hallhani aka roohani, greylag goose, Anser anser; lumehani, snow goose, A. caerulescens (although unsure whether this one does breed here); lühinokk-hani, pink-footed goose, A. brachyrhynchus; rabahani, taiga bean goose, A. fabalis fabalis; suur-laukhani, greater white-fronted goose, A. albifrons; tundra-rabahani, tundra bean goose, A. f. rossicus, and väike-laukhani, lesser white-fronted goose, A. erythropus. One of the two genera found in Estonia (see Lagle). Part of the Lilleküla bird-name group of streets. See also Haraka.

Hauka (Haugas)

Hawk, no species indigenous to Estonia. Part of the Lilleküla bird-name group of streets. Also junior (8-13 y.o.) member of the patriotic youth paramilitary organization Noored Kotkad (Young Eagles of Estonia) and occasional misnaming of Falgi, Falck → falcon, geddit?  See also Hüübi.

Artelli (Artell)

‘Artel’, direct transcription of Rus. арте́ль, a workers’ guild or association, general term for various semi-formal cooperative associations in Russia and its sphere of influence from 1860ish to 1960ish, pretty much dead nowadays, despite its use in business names à la Hansa. Activities ranged from fishing and art, to stevedoring and thieving. Etymology very uncertain: Italian artiere, artisan has been suggested, but probably fortuitous. Vasmer seems to prefer either Tuvan урталай (urtalai), or Kipchak (Tatar or Bashkir) арт ил (art il), people in the rear, or reserve. The question remains open.
