#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.

Comet. This was a type example used by #Aavik (see #Aaviku) in his #Keeleuuendus, or language renovation, for creating new words. To avoid convoluted expressions such as 'täht, mil saba on' (periphrase):
#Celestial #Taevalik

Last entry for today's #emakeekepäev
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
