14	167	In several cases tarns have devoured their own masters, and it is not unusual for them, when loosed for feeding, to attack a human being with the same predatory zest they bestow on the yellow antelope, the tabuk, their favorite kill, or the ill-tempered, cumbersome bosk, a shaggy, long-haired wild o...	10

25	109	In a vast low case, on the floor of which apparently grew real grass, I saw a pair of shaggy, long-horned bosk grazing, and in the same case but in a different corner was a small herd, no more than five adult animals, a proud male and four does, of tabuk, the single-horned, golden Gorean antelope.	10

10	14	The standard of the Kassars is that of a scarlet, three-weighted bola, which hangs from a lance; the symbolic representation of a bola, three circles joined at the center by lines, is used to mark their bosk and slaves; both Tenchika and Dina wore that brand; Kamchak had not decided to rebrand them,...	10
8	108	I supposed that on the morrow Kamchak would call for the Tuchuk Iron Master, to brand what he called his little barbarian; the brand of the Tuchuk slave, incidentally, is not the same as that generally used in the cities, which, for girls, is the first letter of the expression Kajira in cursive scri...	10
2	74	* * A consequence of the chronological conventions of the Wagon Peoples, of course, is that their years tend to vary in length, but this fact, which might bother us, does not bother them, any more than the fact that some men and some animals live longer than others; the women of the Wagon Peoples, i...	10
8	27	I originally regarded the Omen Year as a rather pointless institution, but I came to see later that there is much to be said for it: it brings the Wagon Peoples together from time to time, and in this time, aside from the simple values of being together, there is much bosk trading and some exchange ...	10
23	78	And then, as the Paravaci bosk horns sounded frantically, our bosk began to run, their mighty heads with the fearsome horns nodding up and down, and the earth began to tremble and my men cried out more and jabbed animals, riding with the flood and the Paravaci with cries of horror that coursed the l...	10
27	59	"Each of you," he said, "the Kassars—the Kataii—the Paravaci—have your own bosk and your own wagons—live so—but in time of war—when there are those who would divide us—when there are those who would fight us and threaten our wagons and our bosk and wo...	10
6	2	Many others, too, rushed to the sound, and we were jostled by armed warriors, scarred and fierce; by boys with unscarred faces, carrying the pointed sticks used often for goading the wagon bosk; by leather-clad women hurrying from the cooking pots; by wild, half-clothed children; even by enslaved Ka...	10
7	3	The hundred, rather than eight, bosk that drew his wagon had been unyoked; they were huge, red bosk; their horns had been polished and their coats glistened from the comb and oils; their golden nose rings were set with jewels; necklaces of precious stones hung from the polished horns.	10
7	19	Kutaituchik lifted his head and regarded us; his eyes seemed sleepy; he was bald, save for a black knot of hair that emerged from the back of his shaven skull; he was a broad-backed man, with small legs; his eyes bore the epicanthic fold; his skin was a tinged, yellowish brown; though he was strippe...	10
8	35	The Turians, on the other hand, take in trade for their goods—obtained by manufacture or trade with other cities—principally the horn and hide of the bosk, which naturally the Wagon Peoples, who live on the bosk, have in plenty.	10
8	50	"The bosk are safe," they had cried, and the cry had been taken up by the women and carried from wagon to wagon, "The bosk are safe!" This year, perhaps because it was the Omen Year, the Wagon Peoples did not advance farther north than was necessary to ensure the welfare of the herds.	10
8	51	They did not, in fact, even cross the western Cartius, far from cities, which they often do, swimming the bosk and kaiila, floating the wagons, the men often crossing on the backs of the swimming bosk.	10
13	126	We lunched on dried bosk meat and paga and then he trooped to the wagon of Kutaituchik, where he exchanged pleasantries with the somnolent figure on the robe of gray boskhide, about the health of the bosk, the sharpness of quivas and the necessity of keeping wagon axles greased, and certain other ma...	10
14	6	During the day the rapid movements of these individually maneuverable units are dictated by bosk horn and movements of the standards; at night by the bosk horns and the war lanterns slung on high poles carried by riders.	10
15	91	When the wagons were to move, Tuka was to walk beside the cart of the sleen cage, drawn by a single bosk, and with a bosk stick guide the animal.	10
22	2	One makes a pretext of seriously besieging a city, spending several days, sometimes weeks, in the endeavor, and then, apparently, one surrenders the siege and withdraws, moving away slowly with the wagons and bosk for some days—in this case four—and then, the bosk and wagons removed fr...	10
23	37	"What will you do," I asked, "if in another year the Paravaci and the Turians turn on the Kataii—and kill their bosk?" "The Paravaci," said Hakimba slowly, "would like to be the one people—and own the grass of all the prairie—and all the bosk".	10
23	80	In a moment, maintaining my saddle in spite of the leaping and stumbling of my kaiila over the slain bosk, fallen kaiila and screaming men, I gave orders to turn the bosk back and reform them near the wagons.	10
25	164	I could scarcely believe that the proud creature who stood chained before me was she whom Kamchak and I had referred to as the Little Barbarian; whom I had been able to think of only as a timid, simple girl of Earth, a young, pretty little secretary, one of nameless, unimportant thousands of such in...	10
25	894	"And," I said, "on your thigh you wear the brand of the four bosk horns!" "I'm yours," she said, "like a bosk!" "Oh," she cried, as I dropped her back to the rug.	10
1	45	Yet the prairie itself was not afire, only the fields of peasants, the fields of men who had cultivated the soil; the prairie grass, such that it might graze the ponderous bosk, had been spared.	10
1	46	Too in the distance I saw dust, rising like a black, raging dawn, raised by the hoofs of innumerable animals, not those that fled, but undoubtedly by the bosk herds of the Wagon Peoples.	10
1	50	They live on the meat and milk of the bosk.	10
1	52	The bosk, without which the Wagon Peoples could not live, is an oxlike creature.	10
1	56	Not only does the flesh of the bosk and the milk of its cows furnish the Wagon Peoples with food and drink, but its hides cover the domelike wagons in which they dwell; its tanned and sewn skins cover their bodies; the leather of its hump is used for their shields; its sinews form their thread; its ...	10
1	57	Even the dung of the bosk finds its uses on the treeless prairies, being dried and used for fuel.	10
1	58	The bosk is said to be the Mother of the Wagon Peoples, and they reverence it as such.	10
1	59	The man who kills one foolishly is strangled in thongs or suffocated in the hide of the animal he slew; if, for any reason, the man should kill a bosk cow with unborn young he is staked out, alive, in the path of the herd, and the march of the Wagon Peoples takes its way over him.	10
1	63	The earth itself was shaking from the hoofs of the bosk herds of the Wagon Peoples.	10

2	73	It is near Turia, in the spring, that the Omen Year is completed, when the omens are taken, usually over several days by hundreds of haruspexes, mostly readers of bosk blood and verr livers, to determine if they are favorable for a choosing of a Ubar San, a One Ubar, a Ubar who would be High Ubar, a...	10
2	83	For example, every male of the Wagon Peoples is expected to be a warrior, to be able to ride, to be able to hunt, to care for the bosk, and so on.	10
2	87	The members of these clans, however, like the Year Keepers and Singers, are all expected, first and foremost, to be, as it is said, of the wagons—namely to follow, tend and protect the bosk, to be superb in the saddle, and to be skilled with the weapons of both the hunt and war.	10
2	89	I suspected that this might be due to the hostilities and bickerings of the peoples among themselves; where people did not wish to unite, where they relished their autonomy, where they nursed old grievances and sang the glories of vengeance raids, where they considered all others, even those of the ...	10
3	15	I leaned on my spear and yawned, looking away toward the bosk herds.	10
3	133	And it was in that instant that I sensed what the bosk might mean to the Wagon Peoples.	10
4	61	He looked about him, at the distant bosk herds, lifted his head to see the sky once more.	10
4	79	Suddenly the Tuchuk bent to the soil and picked up a handful of dirt and grass, the land on which the bosk graze, the land which is the land of the Tuchuks, and this dirt and this grass he thrust in my hands and I held it.	10
5	3	I heard the lowing of milk bosk from among the wagons.	10
5	6	These women were unscarred, but like the bosk themselves, each wore a nose ring.	10
5	14	I suppose the Tuchuks worship nothing, in the common sense of that word, but it is true they hold many things holy, among them the bosk and the skills of arms, but chief among the things before which the proud Tuchuk stands ready to remove his helmet is the sky, the simple, vast beautiful sky, from ...	10
5	56	Each is drawn by a double team of bosk, four in a team, with each team linked to its wagon tongue, the tongues being joined by tem-wood crossbars.	10
5	63	One of the most striking features of these wagons is the wheels, which are huge, the back wheels having a diameter of about ten feet; the front wheels are, like those of the Conestoga wagon, slightly smaller, in this case, about eight feet in diameter; the larger rear wheels are more difficult to mi...	10
5	67	Normally, however, the wagons are tied in tandem fashion, in numerous long columns, and only the lead wagons are guided, the others simply following, thongs running from the rear of one wagon to the nose rings of the bosk following, sometimes as much as thirty yards behind, with the next wagon; also...	10
5	119	Then we heard the pounding of a small drum and two blasts on the horn of a bosk.	10
6	3	We suddenly emerged into the center of what seemed to be a wide, grassy street among the wagons, a wide lane, open and level, an avenue in that city of Harigga, or Bosk Wagons.	10
6	6	Each of these, I was later to learn, wore on his forearm a tiny brand, in the form of spreading bosk horns, which guaranteed his passage, at certain seasons, across the plains of the Wagon Peoples.	10
6	135	"Is there grass for the bosk in her lands?" asked Kamchak.	10
6	144	"It is too far to take the bosk," I said.	10
7	2	Beside the wagon, on a great pole fixed in the earth, stood the Tuchuk standard of the four bosk horns.	10
7	20	Beside him, coiled, perhaps as a symbol of power, lay a bosk whip.	10
7	28	I gathered that once, in his earlier years, he might have been a rider of the kaiila, that he might have been skilled with the bow and lance, and the quiva; such a man would not need ceremony; I sensed that once this man might have ridden six hundred pasangs in a day, living on a mouthful of water a...	10
7	32	For him there could no longer be the swift races across the frozen prairie; the meetings in arms; even the dancing to the sky about a fire of bosk dung.	10
7	34	When Kamchak had finished he held out his right hand and a man, not a Tuchuk, who wore the green robes of the Caste of Physicians, thrust in his hand a goblet of bosk horn; it contained some yellow fluid.	10
7	38	"How are the bosk?" he asked.	10
7	257	The warrior leapt from the dais and, in a few moments, returned with a handful of roasted bosk meat.	10
8	22	Even in the time I had been with the wagons I had gathered that it was only the implicit truce of the Omen Year which kept these four fierce, warring peoples from lunging at one another's throats, or, more exactly put, at one another's bosk.	10
8	37	From these raids the Wagon Peoples obtain a miscellany of goods which they are willing to barter to the Turians, jewels, precious metals, spices, colored table salts, harnesses and saddles for the ponderous tharlarion, furs of small river animals, tools for the field, scholarly scrolls, inks and pap...	10
8	39	It might be added that there are two items which the Wagon Peoples will not sell or trade to Turia, one is a living bosk and the other is a girl from the city itself, though the latter are sometimes, for the sport of the young men, allowed, as it is said, to run for the city.	10
8	44	Wagons had to be abandoned on the prairie, as there was no time to train new bosk to the harness, and the herds must needs keep moving.	10
8	47	Still farther north, another hundred pasangs, there was no snow and the peoples began to sing and once more dance about their fires of bosk dung.	10
8	48	"The bosk are safe," Kamchak had said.	10
8	200	Indeed, it is not unknown that a Tuchuk will bet his entire stock of bosk on the outcome of a single kaiila race; as many as a dozen slave girls may change hands on something as small as the direction that a bird will fly or the number of seeds in a tospit.	10
8	212	In the hour that followed I rejoiced that I had spent much of the last several months, when not riding with Kamchak in the care of his bosk, in the pleasant and, to a warrior, satisfying activity of learning Tuchuk weaponry, both of the hunt and war.	10
8	238	He did what work he could, helping with the bosk, for a piece of meat from a cooking pot.	10
8	247	He did not have his own wagon or his own bosk.	10
8	250	None of those, however, who led raids on enemy caravans or sorties against the city and its outlying fields, or retaliated upon their neighbors in the delicate matters of bosk stealing, would accept him in their parties.	10
8	297	Near the animal, on the turf, a long bosk whip was laid in a circle, having a diameter of somewhere between eight and ten feet.	10
8	635	The bosk were moving south with the coming of the spring.	10
9	46	"Perhaps," he suggested, "you would like a piece of roasted bosk meat?" I replaced the golden eating prong in its rack beside my place, shoved back the glittering dish in which lay several theoretically edible objects, carefully arranged by a slave to resemble a bouquet of wild flowers sprouting fro...	10
9	48	Saphrar conveyed my wishes to the scandalized Feast Steward, and he, with a glare in my direction, sent two young slaves scampering off to scour the kitchens of Turia for a slice of bosk meat.	10
9	61	I would still, I told myself, settle for a piece of bosk meat.	10
9	101	My piece of bosk meat, roasted, had arrived.	10
9	103	I liked it better cooked over the open-fires on the prairie, but it was good bosk.	10
9	224	"I smell bosk dung," she said.	10
9	287	"What think you, my colorful bit of bosk dung?" she asked.	10
10	9	The standard bearer, holding aloft on a lance a representation of the four bosk horns, carved from wood, rode near us.	10
10	42	"But you would sell a bosk or kaiila," she said.	10
10	117	I think it was then, perhaps the first time since her first coming to the Wagon Peoples, that she fully understood her plight—for Kamchak had, on the whole, been kind to her—he had not put the Tuchuk ring in her nose, nor had he clothed her Kajir, nor put the brand of the bosk horns on...	10
10	211	It might be mentioned, incidentally, that without the Courage Scar one may not, among the Tuchuks, pay court to a free woman, own a wagon, or own more than five bosk and three kaiila.	10
11	139	"There are bosk to be groomed," he informed her, "and their horns and hoofs must be polished—there is fodder to be fetched and dung to be gathered—the wagon must be wiped and the wheels greased—and there is water to be brought from the stream some four pasangs away and meat to h...	10
11	217	"Have the bosk been tended?" asked Kamchak.	10
11	220	"Have the bosk been tended?" he asked.	10
11	232	When the meat was ready Kamchak ate his fill and drank down, too, a flagon of bosk milk; I did the same, though the milk, at least for me, did not sit too well with the paga of the afternoon.	10
11	248	When Kamchak had finished his freshly roasted meat and his flagon of bosk milk, he shook his head and rubbed his nose.	10
11	400	"Do you not recall," asked Kamchak, "the affair of the tiny bottles of perfume and the smell of bosk dung—how nobly you attempted to rid the banquet hall of that most unpleasant and distasteful odor?" "Yes," said the girl, very slowly.	10
12	48	When I returned to the wagon I saw the bosk had already been tended, though it was early in the day, and that there was a kettle on an outside fire boiling.	10
12	211	The fire, I was pleased to note, was not of bosk dung but wood, timber and planking, I was less pleased to note, torn and splintered from a merchant's wagon.	10
12	222	The bosk had been unhitched and taken elsewhere.	10
12	260	We had slept late that day and finally when Kamchak managed to be up and around, after a late breakfast served rather slowly by Elizabeth, and had recollected Aphris and had opened the end of her sleeping quarters and she had crawled out backward and had begged, head to boot, to be allowed to draw w...	10
12	264	"Get up, Lazy Girl," said he, "the bosk need watering".	10
13	142	Among the animals I saw many verr; some domestic tarsks, their tusks sheathed; cages of flapping vulos, some sleen, some kaiila, even some bosk; by the Paravaci haruspexes I saw manacled male slaves, if such were to be permitted; commonly, I understood from Kamchak, the Tuchuks, Kassars and Kataii r...	10
13	147	On the other hand on each altar there burned a small bosk-dung fire into which, like a tiny piece of kindling, had been placed an incense stick.	10
13	178	The four chief haruspexes of the peoples remained at the huge central altar, to which a white bosk was being slowly led.	10
13	183	Fresh and clean on her burned thigh was the brand of the four bosk horns.	10
13	233	Then I too heard it, the winding of a bosk horn in the distance, and then another.	10
14	8	When the bosk horns sound the women cover the fires and prepare the men's weapons, bringing forth arrows and bows, and lances.	10
14	10	The bosk are hitched up and slaves, who might otherwise take advantage of the tumult, are chained.	10
14	14	Aphris had had the good sense to hitch up the bosk.	10
14	27	Then he bounded from the top step of the wagon onto the back of his kaiila and sped toward the sound of the bosk horns.	10
14	33	With these he hurriedly conferred and then I saw him lift his arm and red war lanterns were moved on ropes to the top of poles, and, to my amazement, aisles seemed to open in the densely packed bosk before the men, herdsmen and herd sleen moving the animals back to clear long grassy passages between...	10
14	36	In the light of the Gorean moons we saw slaughtered bosk, some hundreds of them, and, some two hundred yards away, withdrawing, perhaps a thousand warriors mounted on tharlarion.	10
14	54	They must be mercenaries! Kamchak did not return to his own wagon but now raced his kaiila, followed by a hundred men, toward the high ground on which stood the standard of the four bosk horns, on which stood the huge wagon of Kutaituchik, called Ubar of the Tuchuks.	10
14	75	"The bosk are doing as well as might be expected," he said.	10
15	2	The other Wagon Peoples regarded the problem of the slaying of Kutaituchik and the despoiling of his wagon as one best left to the resources of the people of the four bosk horns.	10
15	19	"I wonder," I said, "why the tarnsmen have not struck at the wagons—with fire arrows—why they do not attack the bosk themselves, slaying them from the air, forcing you to withdraw to protect the beasts".	10
15	21	There was, after all, no place on the prairies to hide the wagons or the bosk, and tarnsmen could easily reach them anywhere within a radius of several hundred pasangs.	10
15	24	"We have paid them not to burn the wagons nor slay the bosk," said he.	10
15	27	For some reason this angered me, though, naturally, I was pleased that the wagons and bosk were yet safe.	10
15	29	"But," said Kamchak, "I think in the end Saphrar of Turia will meet their price—and the wagons will be fired and the bosk slain—" He gritted his teeth.	10
15	34	"Let the wagons be gathered," he said, "and the bosk turned from Turia".	10
15	50	There was much grooming of wagon bosk, checking of harness and wagons, cutting of meat to be dried hanging from the sides of the moving wagons in the sun and wind.	10
15	87	"Leave me!" Kamchak, once a day, at night, the hour in which sleen are fed, would throw the girls bits of bosk meat and fill a pan of water kept in the cage.	10
15	92	I once spoke harshly to her when I saw her cruelly poke Elizabeth Cardwell through the bars with the bosk stick.	10
15	95	"Where now is the pelt of the red larl, Slave?" Tuka would taunt Elizabeth, threatening her with the bosk stick.	10
15	99	* * * * I searched among the wagons long before I found, sitting cross-legged beneath a wagon, wrapped in a worn bosk robe, his weapons at hand folded in leather, the young man whose name was Harold, the blond-haired, blue-eyed fellow who had been so victimized by Hereena, she of the First Wagon, wh...	10
15	100	He was eating a piece of bosk meat in the Tuchuk fashion, holding the meat in his left hand and between his teeth, and cutting pieces from it with a quiva scarcely a quarter inch from his lips, then chewing the severed bite and then again holding the meat in his hand and teeth and cutting again.	10
15	103	After a time I said to him, "How are the bosk?" "They are doing as well as might be expected," he said.	10
16	17	"Here," said Harold, pointing to a cut between two rocks, only about eight inches wide, through which from some underground source a flow of water was emerging, entering and adding to the small stream at which, some four pasangs from the wagons, Aphris and Elizabeth had often drawn water for the wag...	10
16	29	Two ropes led to the drum, a small rope to control its filling, and a large one to support it; the large rope, incidentally, has a core of chain; the rope itself, existing primarily to protect the chain, is treated with a waterproof glue made from the skins, bones and hoofs of bosk, secured by trade...	10
16	103	"Look," I said to him, "the bosk are already moving away—the wagons will withdraw in the morning.	10
20	26	"Come along," he said, flinging Hereena across his shoulders like a thigh of bosk meat, and starting along the wall.	10
20	98	"Who are you?" "Do not ask questions," snapped Harold, "here is the girl—take her!" The guard shrugged and as he took Hereena from Harold I winced as the young man felled him with a blow that might have broken the skull of a bosk.	10
20	158	As we sped high over the prairie I wondered at how it was that Kamchak was withdrawing the wagons and bosk from Turia—that he would so soon abandon the siege.	10
20	159	Then, in the dawn, we saw the wagons below us, and the bosk beyond them.	10
20	160	Already fires had been lit and there was much activity in the camp of the Tuchuks, the cooking, the checking of wagons, the gathering and hitching up of the wagon bosk.	10
21	4	I had found Kamchak, as I had been told I would, at the wagon of Kutaituchik, which, drawn up on its hill near the standard of the four bosk horns, had been heaped with what wood was at hand and filled with dry grass.	10
21	16	I observed a special wagon, drawn by a dozen bosk, being pulled up the hill, into which the standard, when uprooted, would be set.	10
21	20	Far beyond the wagons I could see the herds of bosk, and the dust from their hoofs stained the horizon.	10
21	101	It was a Tuchuk tune, a wagon tune, sometimes sung by the girls with the bosk sticks.	10
21	191	It was drawn not by the draft tharlarion like most merchant wagons but, like some, by four brown bosk.	10
21	210	Indeed, I respected his wisdom—withdrawing in the face of a situation in which there was nothing to be gained and, considering the vulnerability of the wagons and bosk to tarnsmen, much to be lost.	10
21	214	I would rather have expected Kamchak to have stood before the walls of Turia, his kaiila saddled, his arrows at hand, until the winds and snows had at last driven him, the Tuchuks, the wagons and the bosk away from the gates of the beleaguered city, the nine-gated, high-walled stronghold of Turia, i...	10
21	284	The wagon bosk, upset by the running men, the shouting and the clank of arms about them, were bellowing wildly and throwing their heads up and down, stomping and pawing in the dust.	10
21	314	Almost instantly there was a wild cry, the war cry of the Tuchuks, and the first five kaiila leaped from outside the gate onto the top of the wagon, finding firm footing on what I had taken to be simple rain canvas, but actually was canvas stretched over a load of rocks and earth, accounting for the...	10
22	161	"The wagons and bosk are under attack," he said.	10
23	9	Then, on the path to the main Tuchuk encampment, Harold and I were each to join our Thousand, subsequently doing what we could to protect the bosk and wagons.	10
23	17	I was nearly slain by arrows when I dropped the tarn amidst the startled blacks of the Kataii, but my black jacket with the emblem of the four bosk horns, emblem of the Tuchuk courier, soon proved its worth and I was led to the dais of the Ubar of the Kataii.	10
23	29	In the saddle I said to him, "I have heard that the Paravaci are killing bosk".	10
23	31	"Killing bosk?" he asked, skeptically.	10
23	33	"That is bad," said Hakimba, "killing bosk".	10
23	57	We found thousands of bosk slain in the grass, their throats cut, their flesh rotting, the golden nose rings chopped or torn away.	10
23	61	I swept with my Thousand about the outskirts of the herds until we found some hundred or two hundred Paravaci engaged in the grisly work of destroying Tuchuk bosk.	10
23	65	We could hear the bosk horns forming their Hundreds, see the movements of the sunlight on their arms.	10
23	67	Our bosk horns rang out and my brave Thousand, worn in the saddle, weary, on spent kaiila, without a murmur or a protest, turned and following my lead struck into the center of the Paravaci forces.	10
23	69	I did not wish to remain on the crest of the hill long enough to allow the left and right flanks of the Paravaci—rapidly assembling—to fold about my men and so, in less than four Ehn—as their disorganized, astonished center fell back—our bosk horn sounded our retreat and ...	10
23	70	We left them facing one another, cursing, while we moved slowly back through our bosk, keeping them as a shield.	10
23	71	We would remain close enough that small parties would not be able to approach the bosk with impunity again.	10
23	73	Among the bosk I ordered my men to rest.	10
23	75	Once again our bosk horns sounded and this time my Thousand began to cry out and jab the animals with their lances, turning them toward the Paravaci.	10
23	77	Now the bosk began to move more swiftly, bellowing and snorting.	10
23	79	It was the vengeance of the bosk and the frightened, maddened animals thundered into the Paravaci lines goring and trampling both kaiila and riders, and the Paravaci who could manage turned their animals and rode for their lives.	10
23	96	In the morning, before dawn, we awakened and fed on dried bosk meat, sucking the dew from the prairie grass.	10
23	108	The sound of their bosk horns was welcome to us, signaling the retreat of those at the wagons.	10
23	111	Scarcely had we cleared the ground before the wagons when the Paravaci bosk horns sounded again and another wave of kaiila and riders, lances set, raced towards us.	10
23	123	Some of the Tuchuks began to sing the Blue Sky Song, the refrain of which is that though I die, yet there will be the bosk, the grass and sky.	10
23	129	We heard the bosk horns of the Paravaci signaling to the assembled Thousands.	10
23	133	Then again we heard the bosk horns and the Paravaci, in vast ranks, like sweeping crescents, like steel scythes of men and animals and arms, far extending beyond our own lines, began to move slowly towards us, gaining steadily in momentum and speed with each traversed yard of stained prairie.	10
23	137	I listened, but seemed to hear only the maddeningly intensifying thunder of the Paravaci kaiila sweeping towards us, but then I heard, from the far left and right, the sound of distant bosk horns.	10
23	138	"Bosk horns!" cried Harold.	10
23	168	And then he added, "See that you do not ride off with any of our bosk or women".	10
23	172	"Yes," said Conrad, "most of the Paravaci bosk are now in the herds of the Kataii and Kassars".	10
23	175	"If not, we can always iron matters out with a bit of bosk raiding".	10
23	183	"No," said Conrad, "the Paravaci will want back their bosk and women—and perhaps they may have them—for a price".	10
23	185	"I do not think they will slay bosk or join with Turians again," said Hakimba.	10
23	190	In the morning the warriors remaining of the two Thousands who had ridden with Harold and I would, with the help of other Tuchuks surviving among the wagons, move the wagons and the bosk from the field.	10
23	191	Already the bosk were growing uneasy at the smell of death and already the grass about the camp was rustling with the movements of the tiny brown prairie urts, scavengers, come to feed.	10
23	192	Whether, after we had moved the wagons and bosk some pasangs away, we should remain there, or proceed toward the pastures this side of the Ta-Thassa Mountains, or return toward Turia, was not decided.	10
24	28	Also, Kamchak, to my pleasure but surprise, had had his men drive verr flocks and some Turian bosk after the refugees.	10
24	33	Yet it seemed to me true, for Turia was the main avenue of contact between the Wagon Peoples and the other cities of Gor, the gate through which trade goods flowed to the wilderness of grasses that was the land of the riders of the kaiila and the herders of bosk.	10
24	59	Harold and I chewed on some bosk meat roasted over a fire built on the marble floor of the palace of Phanius Turmus.	10
24	68	After I had finished the bosk meat I lay back on the floor, a cushion beneath my head, and stared at the ceiling.	10
24	72	"But some thousand bosk came today from the wagons," he said.	10
24	74	I knew Kamchak had brought, over the past few days, several hundred bosk to graze near Turia, to use in feeding his troops.	10
24	78	"A Tuchuk," he informed me loftily, "may—if he wishes—rest comfortably on even the horns of a bosk, but only a Koroban is likely to recline on a marble floor when he might just as well sleep upon the pelt of a larl in the wagon of a commander".	10
24	87	"It arrived with the bosk along with better than two hundred other wagons today—including yours".	10
24	204	It was a large wagon, drawn by eight black bosk.	10
24	206	Beside it, fixed in the earth, on a pole, there was a standard of four bosk horns.	10
24	235	I noted that the bosk seemed well cared for, and that their coats were groomed, and the horns and hoofs polished.	10
25	38	Kamchak's sign was the four bosk horns and two quivas.	10
25	49	The engraving on the Turian collar consisted of the sign of the four bosk horns and the sign of the city of Ko-ro-ba, which I took it, Kamchak had used for my sign.	10
25	163	I saw that her left thigh, small and deep, bore the brand of the four bosk horns.	10
25	180	"There is some roast bosk left," she said.	10
25	256	I expect to have food, I expect the wagon to be clean, the axles to be greased, the bosk to be groomed".	10
25	259	"Moreover," she said, "I myself would not wish to stay in a wagon that was not clean, nor one whose axles were not greased, nor one whose bosk were not properly groomed".	10
25	618	I saw the place on her thigh where not many days before the fiery iron had been so cruelly pressed, leaving behind it, smoking for the instant, deep and clean, the tiny mark of the four bosk horns.	10
26	8	On the way to the compound I had met Harold and together we had eaten some dried bosk meat and drunk water, from one of the commissary wagons attached to one of Hundreds in the city.	10
26	12	I heard someone chewing nearby and noted that Harold, who had thrust some strips of bosk meat from the commissary wagon in his belt, was busily engaged, quiva in hand, with cutting and eating the meat.	10
26	71	He lifted his hand and one who stood near him climbed to the wall about the roof and blew a long blast on a bosk horn.	10
26	267	I can give you half the riches of the Paravaci! Bosk and gold and women and wagons!" "I would suppose," said Ha-Keel, "that all that you have is not worth so much as the golden sphere—and that is Saphrar of Turia's".	10
26	291	"It had to have been the Ubar of the Paravaci—for who else could have sent their riders against the Tuchuk wagons, who else could have promised a mercenary tarnsman half the bosk and gold and women and wagons of the Paravaci?" I was only dimly aware of their conversation.	10
26	295	"Give this to the Paravaci," he said, "that they may buy back some of their bosk and women from the Kataii and the Kassars".	10
26	338	"It is too bad," he said, "I would have preferred to stake him out in the path of the bosk".	10
26	533	"I have heard," said Harold, "that she does nothing but sing around the bosk and in the wagon all day—I myself would probably beat a girl who insisted on making all that noise".	10
26	560	Again we laughed and, suddenly, we urged the kaiila forward in great bounding strides, eager to reach the wagons, each of us, for waiting in these wagons were three girls, desirable, marvelous, ours, Hereena, she who had been of the First Wagon, the slave of Harold, her master; Aphris of Turia, almo...	10
27	12	The girls of the Wagon Peoples, of course, who had been enslaved, were freed; the others, however, save for some of Ko-ro-ba on whose behalf I spoke, would change their perfumed silks and their warmed, scented baths for the hardships of the trek, the care of bosk, and the arms of warrior masters.	10
27	13	Few it seemed to me, surprisingly perhaps, much objected to leaving the luxurious delights of the gardens of Saphrar for the freedom of the winds and prairies, the dust, the smell of bosk, the collar of a man who would master them utterly but before whom they would stand as human shes, individual, e...	10
27	140	"You gambled," I said, "when you did not surrender Turia—to return to defend the bosk and wagons of the Tuchuks—that the others, the Kataii and Kassars, would come to your aid".	10
27	216	"I have grown fond of the smell of bosk," said she.	10
28	8	I recalled how cruel she had been to Elizabeth in the long months she had been with the Tuchuks, and how she had tormented her even when she was helpless in the cage of a sleen, mocking her and poking at her with the bosk stick.	10
28	29	"How are the bosk doing?" I asked Kamchak.	10

13	224	The Tarn Keeper, who was called by those in the tavern Mip, bought the food, bosk steak and yellow bread, peas and Torian olives, and two golden-brown, starchy Suls, broken open and filled with melted bosk cheese.	10
2	181	After the murder of Om, who had been on tolerable terms with the Administrator, the new High Initiate, Complicius Serenus, in studying the omens of the white bosk slain at the Harvest Feast had, to his apparent horror, discovered that they had stood against Kazrak.	10
2	182	Other Initiates wished to examine these omens, being read in the state of the bosk's liver, but Complicius Serenus, as though in terror, had cast the liver into the fire, presumably that such dark portents might be immediately destroyed.	10
4	30	After a bit of cold bosk, some water and a handful of peas, I had come to the House of Cernus.	10
4	174	"I see," said Cernus, "that you wear the brand of the four bosk horns".	10
4	179	The ponderous bosk, on which the Wagon Peoples live, among which are numbered the Kassars and the Tuchuks, also wear such rings, but there, of course, the ring is much larger and heavier.	10
4	196	"But without the ring," said he, "no one will believe the brand of the four bosk horns".	10
6	43	Ho-Tu, I noted, but did not speak to him of it, drank only water and, with a horn spoon, ate only a grain porridge mixed with bosk milk.	10
12	253	She will know nothing except the care of bosk and the cleaning of leather".	10
17	219	The day before he surrendered his robes the High Initiate, reading the liver of a sacrificial bosk, had confirmed what all by then were anticipating, that the omens stood strongly against the Hinrabian dynasty.	10
17	340	"It is bosk milk," Phyllis informed him.	10
19	188	The crowd hooted and screamed for her to be taken away, while she looked at them in puzzlement, like a bosk cow, scarcely comprehending or concerned.	10
22	396	It is small, double-curved, about four feet in length, built up of layers of bosk horn, bound and reinforced with metal and leather; it is banded with metal at seven points, including the grip, metal obtained from Turia in half-inch rolled strips; the leather is applied diagonally, in two-inch strip...	10

15	627	"Hail Bosk! Hail Bosk, Admiral of Port Kar! Hail Bosk, Admiral of Port Kar!" I heard a cry, as of fear, from my right, and I turned to stare drunkenly toward the end of the table.	10
10	211	Like the Bosk itself I would not seek for trouble, but, too, like the Bosk, I would not refuse to meet it.	10
15	100	"And hail Bosk, Admiral of Port Kar!" * * * * "Hail Bosk!" cried my retainers.	10
15	625	"Hail Bosk!" "Hail Bosk!" they cried.	10
1	15	My weapons shared the boat, with a gourd of water and a tin of bread and dried bosk meat.	10
1	16	I had the Gorean short sword in its scabbard, my shield and helmet, and, wrapped in leather, a Gorean long bow of supple Ka-la-na wood, from the yellow wine trees of Gor, tipped with notched bosk horn at each end, loose strung with hemp whipped with silk, and a roll of sheaf and flight arrows.	10
1	18	It is the height of a tall man; its back, away from the bowman, is flat; its belly, facing the bowman, is half-rounded; it is something like an inch and a half wide and an inch and a quarter thick at the center; it has considerable force and requires considerable strength to draw; many men, incident...	10
1	98	The dried bosk meat in the tin, and the bread with it, yellow Sa-Tarna bread, now stale, was almost gone.	10
3	334	"I shall call you Bosk," she said.	10
3	335	The bosk is a large, horned, shambling ruminant of the Gorean plains.	10
3	336	It is herded below the Gorean equator by the Wagon Peoples, but there are bosk herds on ranches in the north as well, and peasants often keep some of the animals.	10
3	337	"I am Bosk," I said.	10
3	339	"My Bosk!" she laughed.	10
7	157	"May I ask your name?" "My name is Bosk," I told her.	10
8	7	And there was, too, the great bow, of yellow, supple Ka-la-na, tipped with notched bosk horn, with its cord of hemp, whipped with silk, and the roll of sheaf and flight arrows.	10
9	289	I knew he had also found some bits of bosk horn, and some leather, and some hemp and silk.	10
9	322	Ula's collar read 'I am the property of Clitus'; Thurnock had his slave's engraved 'Thura, slave of Thurnock'; I had two collars engraved, one for Midice and one for Telima; both read simply 'I belong to Bosk'.	10
9	458	"I belong to Bosk," she said.	10
9	565	"I am Bosk," I said, "from the Marshes".	10
9	600	"Bosk," I told him.	10
9	601	"Bosk from the Marshes".	10
10	86	My own flag bore the design of the head of a black bosk against a background of vertical green bars on a white field.	10
10	87	I took the green bars to symbolize the rence of the marshes, and the flag, thus, became that of Bosk, a Captain, who had come from the marshes.	10
10	101	It read, as I wished, 'I belong to Bosk'.	10
10	106	I think they feared her, because of the excellence of her work and because, behind her, stood the power of the house, its Captain, Bosk from the Marshes.	10
10	281	It was thus that the round ships of Bosk, the captain from the marshes, with their free crews, became in their own right dangerous, formidable ships.	10
10	330	But how would he have come to know this? And how could he have come to understand that Bosk, fighting man and merchant, was the same as he who once had been a warrior of the towered city of Ko-ro-ba, the Towers of the Morning? Doubtless he wished to summon me to his presence, that he might recall me...	10
11	46	On its height they met Bosk, in his hands the wine-tempered steel of a Koroban blade.	10
11	92	It was white with vertical green stripes on its field and, over these, in black, the head of a Bosk.	10
11	168	Nominally beneath its aegis, I might, for all practical purposes, be free to augment my house as I saw fit, the House of Bosk, of Port Kar.	10
11	284	"You are the one who calls himself Bosk, are you not?" "I am he," I told him.	10
11	394	"Bosk," called the scribe.	10
11	395	"Bosk," I said, "abstains".	10
11	510	"Bosk," said Samos to the group, "speaks well the advantages of peace.	10
11	548	Let it be Bosk!" There was silence.	10
11	574	When it was silent, I said, "I, Bosk, might go".	10
11	588	"Do not go, Bosk, Captain," said Antisthenes.	10
11	605	"Do not go, Bosk, Captain," pleaded Antisthenes.	10
12	87	"Bosk," I told him.	10
13	1	How Bosk Came to Be Pirate "Paint my ships green," I had said.	10
13	3	By this time, the Fifth Passage Hand, the flag of Bosk, pirate, had come to be much feared on Thassa.	10
13	170	"Bosk, you remember me".	10
13	349	It bears on its field the head of a bosk!" One of the slaves, chained before me, whispered over his shoulder.	10
13	350	"What is your name, Captain?" "Bosk," I told him, pulling on the oar.	10
13	405	"You are the one they call Bosk?" he asked.	10
13	467	"My thanks," said he, "Bosk, Captain of Port Kar".	10
13	486	"Yes," said I, "they have, and now we may sail against them!" There were cheers from the men about, who felt that too long had the ships of Bosk surrendered the seas to those of Cos and Tyros.	10
13	487	"The Bosk," laughed Thurnock, "has been angered".	10
13	510	"To Port Kar!" And thus it was that the ships of Bosk, he of Port Kar, came to be painted green.	10
13	511	* * * * Within the month, supplied and outfitted, the ram-ships of Bosk, a light galley, two of medium class, and one of heavy class, made their first strikes on Thassa.	10
13	512	By the end of the second month the flag of Bosk, carried by one ship or another, was known from Ianda to Torvaldsland, and from the delta of the Vosk to the throne rooms of Cos and Tyros.	10
13	520	It was, accordingly, no accident that I, Bosk, from the marshes, in the Fifth Passage Hand of the year 10,120 from the founding of the city of Ar, four months after the unsuccessful coup of Henrius Sevarius in the city of Port Kar, stood admiral on the stern castle of my flagship, the Dorna of Tharn...	10
14	1	How Bosk Conducted Business Upon Thassa It must be understood that the ship itself is the weapon.	10
14	72	Doubtless, from hold to hold, over the months, the word has spread that Bosk not only would not sink a round ship, but that, when he took one, he freed her slaves.	10
14	153	I had flown the flag of Bosk, from the marshes, boldly, trusting that this incitement would encourage prompt and fierce pursuit.	10
14	325	And their rowing slaves, by this time, were fully aware that the fleet encircling them was that of Bosk, from the marshes.	10
14	348	"Strike that flag," I said, "and put there the flag of Bosk, from the marshes".	10
14	379	"Call me Bosk," I said.	10
15	1	How Bosk Returned in Triumph to Port Kar The return to Port Kar was triumphal indeed.	10
15	9	I was Bosk, a simple, but shrewd man, who had come from the marshes to startle Port Kar and dazzle and shake the cities of Gor with my cunning and my blade, and now my power and my wealth.	10
15	33	I was Bosk, who could do as he pleased, who could take what he wanted.	10
15	101	"Hail Bosk, Admiral of Port Kar!" It was now five weeks after my triumphal entry into Port Kar.	10
15	250	I was Bosk, Pirate, Admiral of Port Kar, now perhaps one of the richest and most powerful men on Gor.	10
15	345	Again I was Bosk, from the marshes, Pirate, Admiral of Port Kar.	10
15	514	But now my attention was on the girl Vina, once the Lady Vivina, once to have been the Ubara of Cos, now only female slave in the house of Bosk, he of Port Kar.	10
15	621	"Hail Bosk!" I heard.	10
15	622	"Hail Bosk, Admiral of Port Kar!" I threw more gold wildly about.	10
15	626	"Hail Bosk, Admiral of Port Kar!" "Yes," I cried.	10
15	755	"I am Bosk!" I cried, standing.	10
15	756	"Yes," she said, "you are Bosk".	10
16	419	"It is Bosk," cried the people.	10
16	420	"It is Bosk, Admiral!" I looked out into the thousands of faces, the hundreds of torches.	10
17	1	How Bosk Conducted the Affairs of Port Kar Upon Thassa I stood in the swaying basket at the height of the mast of the Dorna, the glass of the builders in hand.	10
17	376	"Bosk," I told him, "Captain of Port Kar".	10
17	420	The ship flew the flag of Bosk, with its green stripes on the white background.	10
17	437	"Fight!" I drew on the one-strap and the tarn, against the wind, took flight and Chenbar of Kasra, Ubar of Tyros, the Sea Sleen, in the manacles of a common slave, swung free below us, helpless and pendant in the furies of the wind and the sleeting rain, the captive of Bosk, a captain of Port Kar, a...	10
18	1	How Bosk Returned to His House When we struck the icy, wind-driven decks of the Dorna my men rose at their benches and, cheering, waved their caps.	10
18	76	If it had been bosk I would not, but the bones of the tarsk are thinner and splinter easily.	10
18	279	My large yellow bow of Ka-la-na, tipped with bosk horn and strung with hemp, whipped with silk, was at hand.	10
18	772	And I do not doubt that the Lady Vivina would have found the couch of the Ubar of Cos less joyful than did the slave girl Vina the blanket and the mat of the kitchen boy, Fish, in the house of Bosk, a captain of Port Kar.	10

7	395	We could hear the bosk bells, on the harness of the bosk, quite clearly now.	10
8	217	A man came forward and untied the straps leading to the nose rings of the bosk from the bosk ring on the deck.	10
17	439	He had wanted to leave the employ of Bosk of Port Kar, so stricken had he been that he had ignorantly purchased me, and that I had nearly brought about the downfall of the house, but Bosk would not hear of it, and bade him remain.	10
18	1	The Epilogue of Bosk of Port Kar Thid is now Bosk of Port Kar, who speaks.	10
1	1	The Brand The following account is written at the command of my master, Bosk of Port Kar, the great merchant, and, I think, once of the warriors.	10
1	9	I was purchased for the kitchens of the house of Bosk.	10
7	72	Targo had set forth from Ko-ro-ba with forty girls and five wagons, ten bosk, and many other goods.	10
7	80	Others he commanded to cut loose the great bosk that pulled the wagons, and drive them, too, into the brush and trees.	10
7	81	Then, but moments before the tarnsmen struck, Targo, with his men driving the girls and the bosk, fled into the thicket.	10
7	91	The bosk, unfortunately for Targo, had either broken free or been cut free.	10
7	102	Fortunately, not more than two days after I had been added to Targo's chain, we encountered a caravan of bosk wagons, traveling southeast toward Ko-ro-ba from Laura.	10
7	103	Targo sold two girls, and, with some extra gold, purchased two wagons and two teams of bosk, as well as supplies of water and food.	10
7	161	Each was drawn by two bosk, large brown creatures with spreading, polished horns, hung with beads.	10
7	180	It was only roast bosk, and half raw, but I devoured it.	10
7	181	No delicate, sauced portion of filet mignon which I had savored in any Parisian restaurant compared to that hot, steaming chunk of bosk, half raw, running with juices, that I had seized from the grass of a Gorean field, beside the wagon of a slaver.	10
7	338	Twice we stopped at palisaded villages, those of simple bosk herders.	10
7	339	I liked these stops, for there we would have fresh bosk milk, still hot, and would have a roof over our heads for a night, be it only of grass.	10
7	380	We also heard, in the distance, some bosk bells.	10
7	392	We could see a large, flat wagon, drawn by four huge, beautifully groomed black bosk.	10
7	473	There was a rustle of bosk bells and a creak of wheels.	10
7	487	They tend the bosk, clean the wagons, draw water and gather firewood.	10
7	570	Soon, to my interest, the guards had hitched up the bosk, and, by the light of the three moons, we were moving slowly again over the fields.	10
8	30	The bosk bellowed.	10
8	65	Targo was charged twenty-one copper tarn disks for myself, the other girls, the new girl, and his four bosk.	10
8	67	The bosk were disengaged from the wagons and tied forward on the barge.	10
8	220	The bosk, now, bellowing and snuffing, and scuffing at the wood with their hoofs, were being backed toward the harness.	10
8	250	We saw that the bosk had now been harnessed.	10
8	276	Then, kneeling, delighted, we were fed bread and roast tarsk, and hot bosk milk.	10
8	366	Beyond the compound of Haakon of Skjern I could see the compound of his tarns, where, hobbled, the great birds beat their wings, threw back their heads and screamed, and tore at the great pieces of bosk thrown before them.	10
8	369	Those great rending beaks and pressing, ripping talons could tear him in two as easily as the great thighs of bosk on which they fed.	10
8	563	I loved its ramps going down to the river and winding among the warehouses, the painted, carved wood on its buildings, the black shingles, the smell of bosk on the ramps and the creak of wagons, the smell of fish and salt, and glistening tharlarion, from the river, the smell of hides and fur, and sa...	10
8	699	Frequently, especially when it had performed well, the mountebank would throw the animal a tiny piece of bosk meat, this taken from a large pocket in his robes.	10
10	521	Then, from a hook on the wall, he took a large piece of meat, bosk meat, and threw it to the animal.	10
11	1091	Indeed, it was because of Rask of Treve that Targo, who became that El-in-or's master, had lost most of his women and wagons, and all of his bosk.	10
12	130	If it should please my master, I could, of course, be mated, as easily as a bosk or a domestic sleen.	10
12	633	The bosk were being cut loose and stampeded.	10
12	642	"Unchain them!" But they would not be unchained, unless the day went badly for the caravan, in which case they would be freed and, like the bosk, stampeded.	10
13	204	This affection and respect, unfortunately, is seldom extended to domestic animals, such as bosk and slaves.	10
13	490	I had been well fed the night before, for I had stopped, hidden in the darkness, near a peasant village, where, from a pole, I had stolen a piece of drying meat, bosk flesh.	10
13	501	They might have been a source of protein, but rather than touch such things to my lips I would have preferred to starve! It was easier to steal meat, good bosk meat, from ignorant peasants! I lay on my back, drowsy, looking up at the bright sky between the interlaced branches canopied over my head.	10
13	757	He then, with his tarn knife, from a piece of raw bosk meat, cut four small pieces of meat, which he placed in my mouth.	10
13	1164	I knew, too, that such men often used girls, with the bosk, or alone, to pull plows, under whips.	10
14	9	I could smell roast bosk.	10
14	94	The food had been good, bread and bosk meat, roasted, and cheese, and larma fruit.	10
15	469	He cut a large slice of juicy bosk meat.	10
15	998	Merchants brought sides of bosk, and thighs of tarsk, and wines and fruits to camp, and cheeses and breads and nuts, and flowers and candies and silks and honeys.	10
17	262	Rask of Treve must not die! He must not die! "You will be placed in the house of Bosk, a merchant of Port Kar," he said.	10
17	271	I wondered how it was that they could so hate this man, he called Bosk of Port Kar.	10
17	274	* * * * "Wine, El-in-or!" cried Tellius, master of the kitchen of Bosk of Port Kar.	10
17	280	Tellius, the kitchen master of the house of Bosk, drunken, in a dicing match, in a paga tavern of Port Kar, had learned that there was an interesting girl, newly brought to the house of Samos, one who had been trained in the pens of Ko-ro-ba, one who wore the brand of Treve.	10
17	285	I was thus, in effect, in part, a gift to the house of Bosk from the house of Samos.	10
17	286	The house of Bosk and the house of Samos, it seemed, stood on good terms, the one with the other.	10
17	287	Both Samos and Bosk, it seems, were members of the Council of Captains, the sovereign power in Port Kar.	10
17	288	I liked the house of Bosk, which was much fortified, spacious and clean.	10
17	290	My master, Bosk, a large man, very strong, did not use me.	10
17	294	There was, too, a free dancing girl, a beauty with high cheekbones, named Sandra, who much pleased herself with the men of Bosk, and earned much moneys in the doing of it.	10
17	298	Only too obviously Bosk had an eye for beauty.	10
17	312	I would serve none but Bosk, he first and he alone.	10
17	328	"Elinor," said Bosk, at the head of the table.	10
17	336	I went to Bosk, of Port Kar.	10
17	346	"What is wrong, Elinor?" asked Bosk.	10
17	353	Bosk of Port Kar lifted the cup to his lips.	10
17	370	Bosk poured the wine forth on the table, slowly.	10
17	372	"Return to your feast," said Bosk to the table.	10
17	376	"Thurnock, unbind the slave," requested Bosk.	10
17	379	"Elinor," said Bosk, "we must speak".	10
17	382	* * * * That night men swiftly left the house of Bosk.	10
17	385	When I had spoken Bosk had said to me, "Go to the kitchen, for there is work for you there".	10
17	388	"We could not save Rask of Treve," said Bosk to me the next day.	10
17	391	My master, Bosk, was smiling.	10
17	397	"He had broken free," said Bosk.	10
17	400	"We found three bodies," said Bosk, Merchant of Port Kar.	10
17	405	"They were cut to pieces," said Bosk.	10
17	409	"Those of Treve," mused Bosk, as though he might have known them as enemies, "are worthy foes".	10
17	414	Bosk shrugged.	10
17	418	"It is said," said Bosk of Port Kar, "that he sought a slave, whose name was Elinor".	10
17	420	"It could easily be," said he called Bosk, "for it requires only that some rumor be spread, say, in Ar, or elsewhere, that you are in this city, a rumor which well might, by means of spies, soon find its way to the camp of Rask of Treve.	10
17	424	"They may even have seen you sold," said Bosk.	10
17	433	"It is my speculation," said Bosk, "that only when Rask of Treve fell captive were you then picked up and brought to Port Kar, where you might be confronted with him".	10
17	436	Bosk shrugged.	10
17	448	I did not believe that my master, Bosk, was correct in his conjectures that the warrior of Treve had come to Port Kar to find me, for he had sold me.	10
17	458	"Sell me, Master," I once begged Bosk, for I did not wish to remain in the house where I had so nearly committed so great a crime.	10
17	460	"You have work in the kitchen," had said Bosk of Port Kar.	10
17	463	I have written it at the command of my master, Bosk, of Port Kar, of the Merchants, it seems, but, I suspect, once of the Warriors.	10
17	472	On the piazza, before the Hall of the Council of Captains, Rask of Treve confronted Bosk of Port Kar, demanding that I be surrendered to him.	10
17	473	Bosk, I am told, set my price at twenty pieces of gold, that he might, as a merchant, take his profit on me.	10
17	478	But I fear I may not be taken from Bosk of Port Kar.	10
17	484	When Rask of Treve demanded that I be given to him, Bosk, my master, first sword in Port Kar, drew his own blade and, for answer, drew on the tiles of the piazza a sign, that of the city of Ko-ro-ba.	10
17	486	I am now, by order of Bosk, again permitted to serve in the great hall.	10
17	488	He is a good kitchen master, and loves his captain, Bosk of Port Kar.	10
17	492	Before that time it is my wont to wander the delta wall of the house of Bosk.	10

9	341	And who knew, in time, there might have been but one throne of one Ubar of this unprecedented empire? Who knew to what heights might have been raised the chair of Bosk?

1	23	I, too, was a member of the Council of Captains, Bosk, of the House of Bosk, of Port Kar.	10
1	165	The curule chair at my high table was among the most honored and envied on Gor! What honor it was to be the woman of Bosk, merchant, admiral! And yet she had turned her back on this! She had displeased me! She had dared to displease me! Bosk! The marshes had nothing to offer her.	10
1	166	Would she refuse the gold, the gems, the silks and silvers, and spilling coins, the choice wines, the servants and slaves, the security of the house of Bosk for the lonely freedoms and silences of the salt marshes of the Vosk's vast delta?

1	276	In the morning, from the house of Bosk, in the far city, bordering the delta, I shall leave for the northern forests.	10
2	564	I smelled roast bosk cooking, and fried vulo.	10
2	639	The seaman unbound their wrists from behind their backs, and filled two trenchers, steaming now with bosk and vulo, which he thrust in their hands.	10
2	650	"No," said Ela, finishing the last bit of roast bosk, her eyes closed.	10
3	32	I would call myself Bosk, of Tabor.	10
3	144	"And bring bread and bosk, and grapes".	10
3	174	"What is the matter?" asked Thurnock, his mouth filled with bosk.	10

4	249	"Bosk," I corrected her, sharply.	10
5	44	It read 'I belong to Bosk'.	10
6	293	Talena was the daughter of a Ubar! It was not simply that Tana was beneath me, a rich man, Bosk, admiral in Port Kar.	10
6	310	And who knew to what heights I might raise the chair of Bosk? Indeed, with Talena at my side, the daughter of the great Ubar of Ar, my fortunes, in many matters, might be much improved.	10
6	388	"I am Bosk, of the Free Island of Tabor," said I.	10
6	492	"I am Bosk, of Tabor," I said.	10
6	681	Thurnock, who had not checked his pouch, knowing it had not been taken from him, snorted in derision, a great peasant snort, like a bosk.	10
7	30	We would make a splendid couple, she and I, the beautiful Talena, daughter of the Ubar of Ar himself, and the great Bosk, Admiral of Port Kar, jewel of gleaming Thassa.	10
7	31	Who knew how high might be raised the chair of Bosk? "Do not go, Master, into the forests," had begged Sheera.	10
7	42	We would make a splendid couple, she and I, the beautiful Talena, daughter of the Ubar of Ar himself, and the great Bosk, Admiral of Port Kar, jewel of gleaming Thassa.	10
7	44	Who knew how high might be raised the chair of Bosk? The birds carried on above me, as I passed slowly, carefully beneath them.	10
7	122	Let official word then be sent to Ar that his daughter now sat safe at my side, consort of Bosk, Admiral of Port Kar, jewel of gleaming Thassa.	10
7	125	Who knew, in time, how high might be raised the chair of Bosk? I pushed aside more branches, and leaves, slipping between them.	10
7	205	She would not interfere with the plans of Bosk, of Port Kar.	10
7	407	Who knew how high might be raised the chair of Bosk? Things were going well.	10
9	93	"I am Bosk," I said, "of the exchange island of Tabor".	10
9	319	Together, in our curule chairs, raised above those of others, we might in the house of Bosk have held court.	10
9	334	I might then, when it had pleased me, have had official word sent to Ar, that his daughter now sat safe at my side, my consort, the consort of Bosk, Admiral of Port Kar, jewel of gleaming Thassa.	10
9	339	Who knew how high might have been raised the chair of Bosk? Perhaps there might even, in time, have been a Ubar in Port Kar, sovereign over even the Council of Captains.	10
9	342	Who knew to what heights might have been raised the chair of Bosk? But Talena had now been disowned.	10
9	357	And I, a fool with my dreams, had come into the forest, to rescue her, to best Marlenus, and improve my fortunes, to rescue the beautiful Talena and improve the fortunes of the house of Bosk.	10
12	35	Who knew how high might have been raised the chair of Bosk? I laughed bitterly.	10
12	43	Each of us, including the mighty Bosk, wore the two-and-one-half inch swath on our heads, running from our foreheads to the back of our necks, making it clear to all who it was who had taken us in the forests.	10

13	137	We were to be rented to the camp of Bosk of Port Kar.	10
13	158	It was not difficult to imagine that it was not simply to capture Bosk of Port Kar, or to do injury to those of Port Kar, that the Rhoda of Tyros had come to Lydius, and upriver to Laura.	10
13	167	I am sure that the capture of Bosk was one of the objectives of the Rhoda's northern expedition, but I suspected that the acquisition of an admiral of Port Kar, one whom they had good cause to remember, was not their single, nor prime, objective.	10
13	254	I, Bosk of Port Kar, was not pleased.	10
14	132	The Tuchuk brand, tiny and fine, is the paired bosk horns.	10
14	134	The brand of the Kataii is that of a bow, facing to the left; the brand of the Kassars is that of the three-weighted bola; the brand of the Paravaci is a symbolic representation of a bosk head, a semicircle resting on an inverted isosceles triangle.	10
15	947	In such courts she could not, legally, be named, but would rather be described as, say, Ilene, the slave of Hesius of Laura, or Ilene, the slave of Bosk of Port Kar.	10
17	125	The remaining eighty-four could be accounted for by reference to the jewels fastened on the slave chain of Bosk, a merchant of Port Kar.	10
18	547	"A wench of Bosk of Port Kar," he laughed.	10
18	549	"Bosk of Port Kar," he said, "has a good eye for slave flesh".	10
18	552	"I was stolen from Bosk of Port Kar," wept Tina, "by the terrible Sarus of Tyros".	10
19	176	I did know, however, that Sarus and his men had engaged in a well-organized mission to capture Marlenus of Ar and one called Bosk of Port Kar.	10
19	346	"He is Bosk of Port Kar!" she cried.	10
19	347	"He is Bosk of Port Kar!" I heard a stirring among the slaves behind the men of Tyros.	10
19	350	That Bosk of Port Kar was among them resulted in much movement.	10
19	355	"Is it true that you are Bosk of Port Kar?" asked Sarus.	10
19	406	"Consider yourself, Bosk of Port Kar," said he, "my prisoner".	10
20	187	"Bosk of Port Kar!" called Sarus.	10
20	188	"Bosk of Port Kar!" I did not, of course, answer him.	10
20	261	"Greetings, Bosk of Port Kar," said Sarus.	10
20	296	"Look behind you, Bosk of Port Kar! It is over! Over!" "If one moves," said I to Sheera and Verna, "fire upon him".	10
20	303	"You have lost, Bosk of Port Kar!" I turned to the beam which barred the gate.	10
21	22	"I am Bosk of Port Kar," I said.	10
21	211	"Where, Bosk of Port Kar," challenged Marlenus, "is the slave Verna?" "I do not know," I told him.	10
22	61	"All hail Bosk, Admiral of Port Kar!" I rose drunkenly to my feet.	10
22	63	"All hail Bosk, Admiral of Port Kar!" Where was Midice, to share my triumph? "Vella!" I cried.	10
22	120	"Rest, sweet Bosk of Port Kar," said she.	10
22	123	* * * * "Greetings, Bosk of Port Kar," said Marlenus of Ar.	10
22	498	I wondered if, in the telling of that story, there would be mention of one called Bosk of Port Kar.	10
22	582	Even their ship was prize, the possession of which he had not disputed with one called Bosk of Port Kar, who had aided him.	10
22	620	"I care for you," she said, "sweet Bosk of Port Kar".	10
