The Estonians call the Baltic Sea...

Hangman Game Feedback

Title:	The Estonians call the Baltic Sea...
Answer:	Läänemeri

Hints:	1. it means 'the West Sea'

Explanation:	It is remarkable, that the Estonians didn't adopt the Finnish name of the Baltic 'Itämeri'(the East Sea), which is a calque from the German 'Ostsee'. That's quite consistent: after all, unlike Germans, the Estonians live to the east of the Baltic, therefore to them it is 'the West Sea'.
