The rows, from the front, moving back, were numbered zero through 9; the columns, from left to right, were similarly numbered. - (Renegades of Gor, Chapter 6, Sentence #4)

Some Things which Occurred One Night at the Crooked Tarn There were one hundred sleeping spaces, or positions, on the third level in the south wing, although no space was numbered "100". What counted for the hundredth space, so to speak, was a "zero" space in the front, left-hand corner, as one entered the level. In the light of a few dim tharlarion-oil lamps one could see the large numbers posted high on the wall, to the left and the back. The rows, from the front, moving back, were numbered zero through 9; the columns, from left to right, were similarly numbered. One determines the spaces then, rather as on a cipher chart, by the intersection of numbers. The farthest space to the left and front, as one entered, then, was space "zero" and the farthest space to the back and the right was "99". As the first line in Gorean writing moves from the left to the right, according to convention the numbers to the left would be first numbers designating the space. - (Renegades of Gor)
