Lemle (Lemmel)

Duckweed, gibbous or otherwise, but in Estonia probably common duckweed, Lemna minor. Other names include konnaläätsed (frog lentils), seauba (pig bean), päevaseep (day soap), and, curiously, tiigieile (pond last-nighter or yesterdayer), thus named due to it being a ‘short-day plant’ requiring a critical minimum length of night to flower. Small aquatic-plant group in the Kakumäe peninsula. See Särjesilma.
