Land of wind. Also collection of poetry written by #GustavSuits (1883-1956) in 1913 where he thus portrays #Estonia, literally and metaphorically. Renamed under The #SovietOccupation, along with #Vihuri (1953-1995), as #Belinski V.

#Paris, truelove, true-lover’s knot, or herb paris, #ParisQuadrifolia, from the #Latin par:paris, equal, due to its regular leaves, not the city. Also #poisonous, perhaps suggesting its #Estonian name: snake’s mane. But #uss also means worm; see #Ussimäe.

#WindyMountain, windy hill, windswept peak, dare I say it... #WutheringHeights? translated as #Vihurimäe, see #Vihuri, which seems a bit strong. Actually, street parallel to #Majaka, so there may be a high point around somewhere.
