Names
Varre (Vars)
Stalk, stem; handle, stock, pole. Aka vart or koot also meaning shinbone, suggesting the more rudimentary tools available to our first agronomists.
Varsaallika (Varsaallikas) 
Foal’s/Colt’s/Filly’s source/spring. Feeds a river which once drained into the Tallinna Laht (Tallinn Bay or Bight). Said to be named after a spring used by local stud farm to water its, er, draught foals. Known as Warthallick (1689) and Warſhallik (1689 & 1726), but has too much the ring of a mondegreen for a now-forgotten personal name, although its definitely Estonian allick[a] ending and the relatively common occurrence of combined German-Estonian names (Biſchofs Koppel, 1726, etc.) leave the question wide open.
Värsi (Värss)
1) Verse; 2) Steer, young bull. Renamed (1940-1941) after Juhan Liiv (1864-1913), poet, dark romantic and, during certain phases of his muddled mental existence, son of Tsar Alexander II, King of Poland, etc. Author of the moving Ta lendab mesipuu poole (paraphrasing: the bee flies back to the hive, a regular pollenizer at the Estonian Song Festival, Laulupeo). Died after being thrown from a train in mid-winter for not having a ticket. They took it so much more seriously in those days. First named as Koidula L. (1926-1959) with whom Liiv also, shall we say, identified. Briefly named Tähelennu (1959-1960), shooting-star or space flight, the space race was on, and changed to this in 1960, along with its parallel of Lauliku, so ‘verse’ it is.
Värvi (Värv)
Color, paint, dye, tint, hue. Along with Laki, after local dye factory.
Vasara (Vasar)
Hammer. Which also, appropriately, crosses Sirbi.
Vase (Vask)
Copper. One of a metals street group. See Hõbeda.
