TOPONAMES, ASSOCIATED WITH SACRED PLACES

The article analyzes a large number of sacred toponyms and hydronymic names that arose spontaneously in the Issyk-Kul region, to which periods they belong, and for what reasons. It is also emphasized that the Kyrgyz people have long been sensitive to nature, know and understand that nature and man are an inseparable whole, and are able to use them in their daily activities. The power of symbolic naming in relation to worship is also evaluated. Finally, toponyms and hydronyms taken from the literature of the regions and considered sacred by the local population are analyzed and described in the linguistic and cultural direction. In 2006, the article "Kyrgyz toponymy - a source of information for theological studies" was published in the scientific journal "Vestnik IGU" named after K. Tynystanov. In 2018, a report was held at the international conference organized by the International Turkish Academy in Turkestan, Kazakhstan. The proposed article is considered a continuation of previous reports and articles.
