#Angerja (Angerjas)
Eel, Anguilla anguilla. Probably named after those found in the nearby former marshland of #Kalamäe soo (fish-hill marsh, see #Erika).

* The asterisk (2/5) refers to an error by #AleksanderKivi (1894-1985) who misplaced the marsh in #Kalamaja instead of #Karjamaa and is *not* a criticism – #Karjamaa to #Kalamäe to #Kalamaja… who hasn’t had glitches like this?
4/5
Woman’s first name but, given its then #German designation as Erikastrasse (heather street), most likely named after the shrub growing on the drier parts of the ‘#KallamäeSoo’* or #Kalamäe marshland on Eurich’s map, reclaimed in 1898 (see also #Angerja),
