In case of Silmala 223, the hamlet/village is "Silmala" and the house number is 223 without a street name. If it had a street number, it would likely be Rīgas iela 11 or something, but you wouldn't say "Rīgas iela 11" is the house name. With that "Rožkalni" example, you can see the nearby houses have both the street number and the hamlet number. If we go by full modern property street plates, they (not that I checked every one) have a prominent number with additionally both hamlet name and street name listed.[3] Since OSM--in theory--goes by what we see on the ground, then we would expect the plate to say "Silmala 143" as a single name if that was the name. In fact, 223 is just a number plate[4] (though I realize we are only using it as example here). I find that this is the case for the properties in this and other nearby hamlets, like nearby Banga, Selga, etc. In fact, most have just a number[4][5] and some don't have anything visible.
