Zenbait toponimoren lekukotasunak Bortzirietako, Malerrekako eta Baztango agiri zaharren argitan

Abstract

The aim of this work is to bring to light and provide the oldest evidence of toponyms that have been found in the archives of the Bortziriak, Malerreka and Baztan, areas of Navarre. Most of the evidence obtained dates back to the 16th to 18th centuries; there is also some evidence dating from the 11th to 15th centuries. These ancient records may be of use in clarifying the nature of certain toponyms and any doubts there may be about them. In addition, they are helpful in compiling databases about Basque toponymy diachrony and, in general, they help towards a deeper knowledge of our rich onomastic heritage.
