Villages, communes and other places the songs were collected in

Of the 3,668 poems collected in this place, 2,970 name a smaller place on their archive record; the remaining 698 records give no finer place, or one of a kind this list does not cover. The counts reflect how often collectors wrote an address down, not how much was sung. Names are shown as written on the records, so they span different eras’ commune divisions; a place may be where the song was written down or where the singer came from, and a name marked (?) was uncertain in the record itself. The abbreviations after the names are the archive’s own unit words: v. = vald (commune); t. = talu (farm); m. = mõis (manor); as. = asundus (settlement); rand = coastal area. All these names, across every collection place, can be searched in the Place Name Index.
