    • 2009 May, Paul Woodman, “The Nature of the Endonym”, inUN[1], page 2:
      Theendonym is the basic toponymic exemplar and as such it needs to be understood properly. To do so we need to appreciate the context of space and place that produces it. Mostendonyms arise from the elemental human relationship with space and place, and possess an intrinsic and enduring value which cannot normally be either bestowed or removed by political arbitrariness.
