Abara (Abar)

Multi-part net for catching fish: either the longer version with three funnel-shaped nets preventing return, or the trammel net, consisting of both fine and wide mesh, where the fish pushes the former through the latter, trapping itself in the resulting pouch. At various stages of Tallinn’s past, new or developing neighborhoods were given names revolving around a common theme. This one – on the Kakumäe peninsula, site of former fish-processing and -refrigeration plants – is part of a fishing-tackle group, see Ahingu, interspersed among a fish name group, see Ahvena.
