When identifying word-formation groups of toponyms of Artsakh, classical and modern principles of word-formation classification in toponymics are adopted as basis, particularly, Jahukyan’s approach (with consideration to some features).
А) According to their structure, toponyms of Artsakh are grouped into simple and root toponyms that are classified as follows:

b) toponymic roots, i.e., names that are conceived as root toponyms.
