Are you sure that the letters t to y a valid in the alphabet used by the
estonian language?
Wikipedia shows the following alphabet:
a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, š, z, ž, t, u,
v, w, õ, ä, ö, ü, x, y
So a-z matches only half the alphabet. t to y are _after_ z.

As expected. Use the character classes if you want all small characters.

If you want ascii rules, force LC_ALL=C or at least LC_COLLATE=C. So
cron is the culprit.
