In this work I offer first an overview of what has been written on Basque relative-based toponyms, and then I
talk about the structure and evolution of Basque Satznamen, especially about the ones consisting of a noun in
absolutive singular, a verbal form, the relative marker –(e)n and the article. In the following section I comment
on the structure and evolution of Romance Satznamen, starting with the first testimony that we know of (CE
1197). In the next point I deal with of the geographical distribution of Basque relative-toponyms and then I draw
some outlines about the bases of Basque and Spanish Satznamen. Finally, I summarize the conclusions that I
draw form the data and point out the future tasks.
