The villages between the Göcsej "szeg"s and the settlements of the frontier guards were inhabited partly by petty nobles of castle serf origin and partly by castlepeople of lower legal standing, castle servants, whose descendants became serfs in later centuries. These villages that evolved on the flatter stretches of land along the main roads and on the banks of a brook or a river, could more easily expand than the settlements of the szegs. These settlements had a more regular organization, houses arranged along one or more streets. These too were often named after the first inhabitants e.g. Budafa, Kálócfa, Náprádfa (Family name + fa, meaning tree).
