#Nulu (Nulg)
#Tallinn #Pirita #Maarjamäe
Aka #SiberiNulg, Siberian fir, Abies sibirica. The word #nulg is a loan word calqued on #nulγo, from the #Cheremis, aka #Mari, language by #Aaviku in the early 20th C, although what they called it before remains obscure. Maybe they just didn’t.

#Tallinn #Kesklinn #UusMaailm

#Celestial #Taevalik

Found on some maps of #Tallinn, where it doesn’t exist, but does in nearby #Rae. Named after a farm and not, regrettably, after the family's best-known scion: #JohannesAavik
