Names
Reindorffi G.
(Günther-Friedrich Reindorff, 1889-1974)
Estonian typographer and graphic designer. In 2008, the Estonian State bank issued a 10-krooni collector banknote (i.e. was desperate for cash) featuring an identical copy of the front of its pre-war granddaddy designed by Reindorff (for information on Estonian currency, see Krooni). Street seems to have existed from 1982-1989.
Reinvaldi A.
(Ado Reinvald, 1847-1922)
Described by one theatre critic (Luule Epner) as “an uneducated peasant and a God-gifted poet”. Given his schooling was a mere five months while aged 14, we can assume at least part of this is true. Hailed from Viljandi.
Reisijate (Reisijad [pl.])
Travelers, passengers. Sing. reisija. Street ambling vaguely – a gross understatement to say the least, stumbling about as it does like a drunk parking-lot – alongside Balti Jaam railway lines.
Reketi (Reket)
Racquet, racket. Awaiting the municipal ink converting rubble to road. As to the name, not a tennis court in sight, the noise came from the former ski and racket factory nearby.
Remmelga (Remmelgas)
Willow. A seemingly less common name for Paju, used for these four species (literal translation of first part of names in parentheses):
- Hõberemmelgas (silver), white willow, Salix alba
- Raagremmelgas (bare-branched or leafless) goat willow, S. caprea
- Rabe remmelgas (brittle, friable...), crack willow, S. fragilis
- Raudremmelgas (iron), bay willow, S. pentandra
