Euskal toponimo zenbaiten ingurumarian

Abstract

At the beginning of this article the author makes various observations on Basque toponymy and goes on to give his opinion and proposals on several toponyms that to this day are virtually unexplained and offer a different take on some other major toponyms. Amongst the latter, Burunda in Navarre and Atapuerca in Burgos; and amongst the former, in particular, toponyms that refer to bodies of water or mountains and have the component ara- (Arakil, Aralar, Araña, Arbizu, Arruazu, Araia, Aragon, Arga, Arazuri, Araotz...) and the widespread toponymic components sare, sarobe/sarabe, saroi.
