These differences, negligible from the point of view of humans, are apparently of considerable importance among the Kurii themselves. - (Marauders of Gor, Chapter 17, Sentence #144)

I do not fully understand the meaning of this expression. The Kurii, as I may have mentioned, consist of several "Peoples". Not all of these "Peoples" speak the same language, and, I gather, there are differences among them, and within, each People, for example, differences in marking, in texture of fur, in temperament, in tooth arrangement, in ear shape, and so on. These differences, negligible from the point of view of humans, are apparently of considerable importance among the Kurii themselves. The human, pursued by such an animal, is not likely to be concerned about the width of its ears or the mottling of its fur. Kurii, in their past, at least, were apparently torn by internecine strife, disrupted by "racial" and "civil" wars among themselves. It is not impossible that the defertilization or destruction of their former home was a consequence of such altercations. - (Marauders of Gor)
