  1. The equivalent in the spoken language is gae (皆|개) (based on place name evidence in the Samguk Sagi, ch. 37), then read kʌi (following Qian 2018) or kai, which is considered cognate to e.g. 瑕|하|*γa in Baekje, 加|가/ka in Buyeo and 干|간/kan in Silla (Lee-Ramsey 2011, ch. 2.3.6.1), and ultimately derived from the Xiongnu title qaγan, in turn identified as Yeniseian (Vovin 2007).
  2. Samguk Sagi, ch. 15, claims that Daejo daewang (Gung) abdicated in 146 in favour of Cha daewang (Suseong), but Book of the Later Han, ch. 85, states that he died in 121 or early 122.
  3. According to the Samguk Sagi, ch. 15, Cha daewang (Suseong) was killed in 165 and was succeeded by Sin daewang (Baekgo). The Book of the Later Han, ch. 85, attributes the events in 132 and the mid-140s to Baekgo, thus implying that Suseong died in 132 or earlier, but also refers to Baekgo as "heir" (Gāojùlí sìzǐ Bógù|高句驪嗣子伯固) in 165 (ch. 51), indirectly confirming the succession as recorded in Samguk Sagi.
  4. Any references to Gogukcheon wang (Nammu) are omitted from the contemporary Chinese chronicles (Book of the Later Han and Records of the Three States) and the events of his reign (179-197 in Samguk Sagi) are attributed to Sin daewang (Baekgo).
  5. Gugwang (國王|국왕) (in dissidence)
    • 197 - c. 208
    • Balgi (拔奇|발기)
  6. As found on the Gwanggaeto stele (414 AD).
  7. Chinese histories agree that the capital of Goguryeo fell to the armies of Tang and Silla on 22 Oct 668 when Jang and his ministers were captured (Old Book of Tang, ch. 5; New Book of Tang, ch. 3; Zīzhì Tòngjiàn, ch. 201). The Nihon Shoki, ch. 27, mentions the "destruction" of Goguryeo under Nov/Dec 668, while the Samguk Sagi, ch. 6, places the beginning of the siege on 31 Oct 668.
