(north-west is #Loode, related to (?) loe:looja, which also means #Creator or, adverbially, setting, as of suns in the evening). And #Vesikaare lies along a NW not WNW axis anyway (but see #Edela).

#Vesikaare (Vesikaar)
West-northwest. Interesting... literally ‘water quarter’ or ‘water bearing’, this compass direction, along with #Idakaare (E), #Läänekaare (W), #Põhjakaare (N) occurs in #Tallinn streets while #Lõunakaare (S) is absent.😱

pointing north to the #Lodestar (aka #Polaris or North Star), which might explain why #Estonian has actual, i.e. non-compound, names for the #intercardinal directions (NE, SE, etc.) which, for them, were cardinal, see #Edela. Formerly (1885-1923) #Nürnbergi. See also #Vesikaare.
