Suitsu (Suits)
Smoke, vapor, fume. Also means fag (à la UK, not US), snout, coffin nail... One of a small locomotive-themed group behind the Tallinn-Väike station. See Söe. Estonian also borrowed the idea of the English portmanteau ‘smog’ from smoke + fog as sudu from suits + udu (fog).
Siduri (Sidur)
Clutch (of cars, not chickens). The word can also mean coupler, the device used for attaching railway wagons together, particularly tempting since the street is within the Tallinn-Väike railway street set, but no... After much soul- (and spare-part) searching, having seriously considered Aku (battery), Remondi (repair), Piduri (brake), Rehvi (tire) and Velje (wheel-rim), it was named for the immediate vicinity’s history of garages. Such are the great enterprises of this world rewarded...
Väo (Väo) 
After one-time village east of Tallinn, first recorded in LCD as Uvætho (1241), followed by Vethe (1298), Vewenkülle (1389), Feht (1674), Feht Hoff (1689), Wehokylla (?), Waeo (1871) and Faeht (1913). Also a road called Väo tee once known as Fähtscher Weg. Settlements recorded as far back as the Bronze Age. Located near the Pirita river rapids, its name is suggested to come from an earlier root of vedama, to draw, tug, convey, etc., *Vädu or *Vedu, loaned from PIE *wed-, about which see both Vee and, more particularly, Lükati. The name was later given to a linnamõis (see Mõisa) a kilometer or so NNW, owned at one stage by one of the Jobst Duntes, so also known as Tondi Mõis (see Tondi and Tondiraba). Another Väo Mõis was located some 100-odd km SE of Tallinn.
