Soyurghal 

among various Asiatic peoples, a type of military feudal estate. The soyurghal was an inherited piece of land maintained on condition that the holder perform military service in the Golden Horde. It was also known from the mid-14th to the mid-19th century in Middle Asia, Iran, Azerbaijan, and Iraq and from the mid-16th to the mid-19th century in northwest India.
