Names
Tuudi (Tuut)
Twisted bundle or handful of hay. Weidemann gives tūt:tūdi (his ū representing a long u) for either Heugrieste (from Ger. Heu, hay, and grieste from Latv. grizte, something twisted) or Büschel (a handful, in this instance, of hay), a word morphing into bilingual Baltic-German Heutute. Another tuut/tuudi possibility (Viires does not specify a genitive) could be an addition (boards, stick?...) to the vannasader (primitive wooden plough) facilitating water-removeal from furrows, but uncertain. Street next to Saadu, and recent addition to the mini hay-and-harvest group. See Vaalu.
Tuukri (Tuuker)
Diver, of the bronze helmet and concrete knickers variety. First known as Neu-Holland Straße in 1856, then Hollandi from 1850-odd to 1950. During construction of new housing developments in Kadriorg, a ship was dug up about 200 m from the current shore, now named Viljo after the building-site manager, and dates back to later than 1487. See Liiva for information on Estonia’s and Tallinn’s slow rise from the sea. See also Pikksilma, where a similar find was made next to this.
