Inurrutegi

Interpretation
It is not known exactly what Inurrutegi means, but it could come from Inuuri (ant) and Tegi (place). It could also be place of brezo or even place with rush. The most accepted translation, proposed by Mitxelena, is place of yezgos (yezgo is a plant with the technical name ``Sambucus ebulus'').
