Goguryeo had numerous town administrative districts called “Goryeo ( 句麗 )” and seven Malgal, or “Malgal 7 States ( 靺鞨七部 )”, as local mountain administrative districts in the border areas neighboring other countries. “Guryeo ( 句麗 )” originally meant “castle/fortress ( 城 )” or “seong-eup/city fortress ( 城邑 )” in Goguryeo-Malgal, and Malgal ( 靺鞨 ) means “mahol/horse ( 馬忽 )” or “malseong/horse fortress ( 馬城 )” as Jeong Yak-yong explained.
