Kõnnu (Kõnd)

Word of varying but similar meanings, here, probably: empty, largely unproductive and uncultivated land, while elsewhere in Estonia it could be – if not derived from a lost Germanic name – high, dry, hillocky and clayey, random woodland, or even wet, sodden land, leading, in a post-widely-agricultural society (for some, kõnd is an ‘extinct landscape term’) to the notion of wasteland or desolation. Sorta part of the sinister-street zone, see also Kume and Kura. Known as Kanarbiku until 1958.
