Map of Livonia dating to the 16th or 17th century showing today's Baltic states as then perceived, with Paljassaare's Suur-Kaarli and Väike-Kaarli (big & little ‘Charles’) islands somewhere off the coast of Memel, today's Klaipeda, Lithuania.

Woltemate’s updside-down (but presented "normally" for better understanding) 1689 map of Paljassaare with the names of Suur-Kaarli and Väike-Kaarli (big & little ‘Charles’) islands indicated.

Holmberg’s 1689 map of Paljassaare with the Suur-Kaarli and Väike-Kaarli (big & little ‘Charles’) islands depicted and named Kahl and perhaps Holmar.

Franckenberg's updside-down 1726 map showing the islands and sandbanks stretching nearly all the way to Kopli.

1) Beacon , sea mark, buoy; 2) Tank, cistern, water-tower; 3) Lump. Close enough to one of Tallinn’s prime sludge producers on Paljassaare peninsula, so could be any of them but, given it was named along with two (now defunct) neighbors in

View of Pärnulõugas (bight or bay) in Paljassare laht (bay or bight) from Pärnulõuka, Tallinn.

#Pärnulõuka (Pärnulõugas): Pärnu Bight, the shoreline has advanced seawards (northwards) since well before the 19th C (see #Liiva), adding equal doses of real estate and confusion with #Pärnu Bight (#Pärnulõugas) either ‘inside’ or part of #Paljassaare Laht (see #Lahe)?

whether #Pagi and #Paagi would be confused. However, with the first in #Mustjõe and the second in #Paljassaare, there didn’t seem much risk. My own take on this is, given #Estonia’s obsession with the length of its vowels, there’s no way they’d confuse the two.

#Nõlva (Nõlv): Slope, declivity. Perhaps the one leading down to #Paljassaare docks or up to #HundipeaMägi. Next to #Lume, so its previous names of Polaari (1923-1939), or Полярная ул. (Polyarnaya) (1916-) make sense. So maybe ski slope?
