The current solution of mapping placenames to themselves has several problems

assumes that the executing app can do geocoding
assumes that the executing app has knowledge of Estonian, e.g. that 'Tolla' and 'Tõlla' are not spelling variants
does not handle naming ambiguity within the grammar

There should be at least 2 linearization formats:

59.123,24.321 (coordinates)
Village name, County name (disambiguation in language X)

The downside is that the grammar gets 3 times bigger.
