Põik
Not a street, but a street nevertheless... The word has no cut-and-dried etymology, or even definition. Short for põiktänav, it evolved out of a pool of terms across the FU landscape originally referring to things such as a connecting structural crossbar, or a strip of cloth, or a beam, slat or lath, usually horizontal, hinting at a possible relation to põõnama, to sleep, reminiscent of the Eng. expression ‘to sleep like a log’. Reduced to its simplest, it should be a crossroad intersecting with another street as it is in about 60% of Tallinn’s põigid, while a remaining 40% just wander off with varying degrees of existential clarity of purpose.
