Abstract. The article examines substratum (pre-Slavonic) toponyms of the Middle Oka basin with the regular final element - ша (- кша, - мша, - рша, etc.). The paper focuses on the linguistic, ethnic and chronological attribution of this type of names. The analysis indicated that toponyms on - ша form the four clusters in the left-bank and right-bank parts of Middle Oka basin. Superposition of the identified areas with the areas of local archeological cultures didn’t confirm the relation of names with Gorodetskaya culture and their traditional interpretation as Finno-Ugric (early Mordovian). The etymology of certain names with the Baltic elements in their structure makes the above mentioned thesis doubtful.
