At the toponymic level, there can be identified three occurrences of de: subunit in the structure of prepositional groups (compound prepositions, prepositional phrases), preposition and analytic flexion means. The preservation of archaic flexion means in toponymy is a consequence of the fact that this linguistic segment has been less subjected to the morpho-syntactic changes, because, as a part of the toponymic micro-system, the administrative system has not interfered into the denominative process.
