#whorl or circular arrangement of, e.g., petals on a flower or leaves on a stem, or from #Männa, also from #Mänd, meaning wooden whisk, possibly pine (prob. other way round, but see #Masti). Either way, next came the expected 1940-41 switch to #Ladva (from #Latv), meaning treetop or... #vertex!

#Mast. Previously known as #Männi, pine (1923-1958), with a (mis-)spell as #Männa (also from #mänd), either a wooden whisk, probably pine, or a traditional embroidered, woven or knitted octagonal pattern (1938-1939). See also #Purje.
