Katoliku Hoov (Adj.)

Catholic courtyard. It belong(s/ed?) to the Tallinna Dominiiklaste, Tallinn Dominicans (see Dominiiklaste), the tacky insignia of which, a dog, is a rather poor piece of Latin punning: the Dominicans, or Dominicanes as they like to be called, are a Catholic order founded in 1215 by St Dominic. Being defenders of the faith, they call themselves Domini Canes, dogs of the lord. Ho ho. That’s dog-Latin for you... See Risti.
