Pärnulõuka (Pärnulõugas)
Pärnu Bight. The shoreline has advanced seawards (northwards) since well before the 19th C (see Liiva), adding equal doses of real estate and confusion with Pärnu Bight (Pärnulõugas) either ‘inside’ or part of Paljassaare Laht (see Lahe). Another road of miscellaneous municipal manifestation, part path, part track... Not one streetsign anywhere, nor any local aware of its existence (one of whom a 40-year resident).
Pärnaõie (Pärnaõis)
Lime blossom, commonly used as herbal infusion, used for bringing the temperature down, among other things.
Pauna (Paun)
Bag, pouch, knapsack, or something pouch-shaped. New street planned (2019) in Haabersti opposite Põllumäe south of Tiskre. Stiff competition for the name, beating, käär:kääru (turn, curve or bend, or bounded loop of land or water), look:looke (shaft bow, the decorative arch connecting the two shafts or thills [see Aisa] of a horse-drawn cart, but Looga already used) and silmus:silmuse (loop knot, noose or hempen collar). Given the meanders of the Tiskre river, all three were acceptable, but no... Then again, paun in N. Estonian dialect also means a marshy river lough, so. See also Kriibi.
