The Website

Not intended at the beginning, the present website is taking on a life of its own, with plans for relevant discussion forums, picture galleries and, over time, more non-streetname entries.

In theory, it will be funded by advertising relevant to people in Tallinn, to be determined.

A percentage of profits (also to be determined) to be donated to the foundation.

Turbasambla (Turbasammal)

Sphagnum moss, lit. peat moss. With 37 species including the Baltic, red, soft, dull (as in corners), northern and so on and so forth. See also Harusambla.

Turvise (Turvis)

Armor, corselet, breastplate, harness and, for the modern-day horseless road warrior, retreaded winter tire. Close to Maleva and Uus-Maleva, and hence member of a mini military mêlée. See Amburi.

Tuule (Tuul)

Wind. Tallinn possessed, we regret to report, two Tuules from 1924 to 1959, one tee, one tänav. The latter was later converted to Elektri.

Tuulemaa (Tuulemaa)

Land of wind. Also collection of poetry written by Gustav Suits (1883-1956) in 1913 where he portrays Estonia, literally and metaphorically, as a ‘land of wind’. Renamed under The Soviet occupation, along with a street that doesn’t exactly join it, Vihuri (1953-1995), as Belinski V.
