The structure and creation of microtoponyms and oikonyms in the surroundings of Kuršumlija

This paper deals with the ways of creation of microtoponyms and oikonyms which we registered on the eastern slopes of the Kopaonik mountain, in the territory whose larger part belongs to the present-day municipality of Kuršumlija, and one smaller part belongs to the municipalities of Blace and Prokuplje. We classified the toponyms into non-derived and derived single place names. Microtoponymic compounds whose elements have full meaning and prepositional-case phrases functioning as toponyms were classified as a separate category. The registered corpus also contains about twenty multi-member micro-names, which are very rare, and which have been divided into two subgroups - the three-member ones and the four-member ones
