Haljas (Adj.)
Green, verdant; shining. Usually referring to nature. Haljasalad, on the other hand, is not lettuce but the green spaces (pl.) of a town. Interestingly, cutting weapons, such as swords, can also be called haljad relvad, shining weapons, a serendipitous take on pikes into ploughshares, but remembering they can always be turned back again...
Hallikivi (Hallikivi)
Grey stone. According to TT: after a large erratic boulder nearby, but hard to locate. The Estonian Environmental Agency lists 5 Hallikivid in Estonia (infoleht.keskkonnainfo.ee), but none in Tallinn, while KNAB gives coordinates for a Hallikivirand (beach) on Aegna and there does look like a boulder at ///scenting.clinch.abbeys. But is it grey? To be confirmed. The things that keep you up at night!... See also Kivi. For other erratic-themed locations, see Kari.
Halu (Halg)
Piece of firewood, log. The arsonist or insurance-broker street group. Visitors to Tallinn in the 2000s may have noticed the occasional building gutted, razed and charred. The town has no higher propensity to cameral conflagration than any other metropolis (outside Australia and the south of France), but when there are laws as to the preservation of cultural heritage and minuscule huts occupying prime real estate it may be understandable that owners divert their bile to billet and burn baby burn. For some strange reason, 20-25 years later, still seeing ‘historical monuments’ left abandoned to decay... Anagram of Luha. See also Hao.
Hämar (Adj.)
Dusky, crepuscular, nebulous, vague, shadowy, yea, if not dingy. Close to Jahe.
