Keava (Keava)
Hamlet close to Kehtna in Raplamaa. One of the group of streets named for stations on the Tallinn-Türi Kitsarööpa line (it no longer is). The name Keava comes from a 15th-C (or much earlier, sources uncertain) manor known as Kedenpäh, Kedempe (1410), etc., the earliest record of which is that of an uncertain attack by Izyaslav Yaroslavich, Grand Duke of Kiev and Novgorod in 1054, and a mishmash translation of осек Кедипив (osek Kedipiv), possibly suggesting a wooden defensive structure (осек) and confusing Кеди and пив for old Estonian words for ‘hand’ and ‘sun’. The Keava Hillfort predates this, with archaeological evidence identifying its use over at least the previous 500 years, constructed in 5 phases between the 5th and 11th centuries. It’s quieter now. See Lelle.
Lohu (Lohk)
Cavity, pit, dent, depression... Here, given its neighbors (and not where it might have been, among the Tallinn-Türi Kitsarööpa stations group), a geographical depression. See Häilu.
Männiku (Männik) 
Pine wood, pine grove. Street leads to corresponding Sub-district. Street is part of the E67 from Helsinki to Prague. Despite being a station on the Tallinn-Türi Kitsarööpa line, not part of the relevant group.
Tallinn-Väike (0)
Not meant to be doing stations… Formerly known as Tallinna Peajaam (Tallinn Main Station) and interconnecting hub between the narrow- and broad-gauge lines (see Kitsarööpa). Second station from Balti Jaam on the Tallinn-Pärnu and Tallinn-Viljandi lines. Focal-point of the Tallinn-Türi Kitsarööpa stations group. See Liiva. See Elron map for details.
