although #etymological dates don’t go back far enough for any degree of certainly. Returning to #Karlsö, while the s looks like a #genitive and would not apply to an #adjective, the name was probably in use long before it was first recorded, and we should not forget that #names in #multilingual

#Tallinn #Kesklinn #Ülemistejärve
See #Ülemiste and #Järve. NB: we’re at the end of the dictionary so it should be clear by now. The lake itself is a #placename and thus #nominative, #Ülemiste #Järv, while this is the #Sub-district and therefore #genitive, and, being

Perpendicular, straight, upright, erect. Confusingly, the #genitive is identical to the #nominative but, like its peers #Nurklik and #Otse, it is an #adjective that describes the street. A geometrical street-name group. See #Joone.

so lots of straw-clutching but little concrete which is hardly the best choice when you’re sinking anyway… Last shot: I’ll suggest an unrecorded #genitive of an old(?) #Estonian man’s name #Viik(us), which could legitimately genitivize as Viige (see Luige and Kiige).
