Galaýmor
Galaýmor, called in Russian Kala-I-Mor, is a village and rural council in Tagtabazar District, Mary Province, Turkmenistan. Prior to 9 November 2022 it was under the jurisdiction of Serhetabat District, which was abolished on that date by parliamentary decree. Etymology Atanyyazow notes that the traditional Turkmen name of this village is Morgala, in which ''-gala'' presumably means fortress. The origin and meaning of ''mor-'', however, are unclear. He mentions that a fortress called Mori-Shaburgan existed here under the Mongols. Atanyyazow also notes that Khiva historians referred to the valley as ''Mori Suy'' ("Mori Water") and that local whitebeards call the area ''Morsuvi'' ("Mor Water"). Some meanings of ''mor-'' include clay pipes for delivering drinking water, and the colors pink and brown in some Turkmen dialects, among others. Atanyyazow discounts a folk legend attributing the name to the Persian word ''moor'' ("ant"), which would yield "ant fortress". History The vill ...
