1. Tehase (1. Tehas)

Tehas is a works or factory, but since all five of these – 1. Tehase ... 5. Tehase – were scuppered by the building of Admiraliteedi bassein, Admiralty dock, the word implies a laevatehas, or shipyard. The present entry also presages the protean orthography of Tallinn toponymy: whereas the previous entry, 1. liin, must be writ in lower-case, this one was capitalized. It gets worse, see Patriarh Aleksius II.
