(book of names) claims it has long been used in #Estonian coastal areas, and where the ‘jumala’ fits in is unclear. Kiiver also suggested to be an #MLG loan but the ice is too thin for me.

a dynasty of agriculturalists preferring a more client-friendly appellation. And the only other locations with Visase in their names are two very exciting fields in #Pärnumaa: Ülem- and Alem-Visase (upper- and lower-Visase). So, we don’t have much to go by.
