#Promise. Since the street creation was decided along with #Tambeti and #Tõrviku, the promise may well refer to something in a book I’ve been promising myself to read: #Tasuja, but still haven’t.
Suggestions, please?

The street creation being decided along with #Tambeti and #Tõivu, the torch in question may also refer to one I neglected to read about in #Tasuja, a book I also neglected to read.

(where most hypotheses depend on the meteorite’s definitive dating). Also #poetic name for Tartu: #Taaralinn (Taaratown). Taara was also the name that Oodo, bad guy of #Bornhöhe E.’s #Tasuja, symbolically names his dog. Part of a small #EstonianMythology street-name group.
