#Leigeri (Leiger)
#PõhjaTallinn #Kalamaja
Folk hero of #Hiiumaa island and brother of Saaremaa’s #SuurTõll (Big Tõll). Said to have attempted to build a bridge there to let his brother to come and share his famous sauna and cabbages. Idea vetoed by an island golem with an interest in ferries...
(but perhaps with a side-hint of everlasting greed, covetousness or soul-bulimia, see #kõht_on_tühi in intro) although sometimes translated as ‘useless old bugger’. Parallel to #Leigeri, his brother on #Hiiumaa.
