Ülemistejärve (0) 
See Ülemiste and Järve. NB: we’re at the end of the dictionary so it should be clear by now. The lake itself is a place-name and thus nominative, Ülemiste Järv, while this is the District of and therefore genitive, and, being a District name, does not seem to even have a nominative (see Nõmme).
Vikimõisa (Vikimõis) 
Uncertain 2023 addition to Tallinn’s streets, if street inded it is. Information elusive. Related to a former manor house near the Harku lake, named after whichever whim went through its benighted owners’ minds:
- 1798: Cramers Höfchen (‘Cramer’s court’, translated as suvemõis (summer manor), belonging to a customs inspector called Johann Cramer of various misspellings (Cramer, Kraamle, Krameri…)
- Early 1800s: Birkenhof
- 1871: Fick aka Viki which could be one of the various poolmõis (see Mõisa), after, apparently, a pharmacist Eduard Wilhelm Fick
As to its possible allasum (Ward) status or identity, nothing is clear: once pin-pointed in XGis, now it’s putting out ‘loves you’ / ‘loves you not’ signals and I’m not ready to stalk. Pending official update.
