19 60 Urt, or Cuwignaka, Woman's Dress, as he seemed to wish to be called, had been sitting in the grass, breathing deeply and rubbing his wrists and ankles.
Details
10
19 278 He then slowly brought his kaiila about and walked it, slowly, to where the red youth, Cuwignaka, Woman's Dress, whom I had freed from the stakes, clung, supporting himself, to the Kaiila lance.

Details
10
19 363 "I had no quarrel with the Fleer," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 367 "I had no quarrel with the Fleer," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 369 "The Fleer have not injured me," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 371 "And we, too, killed Fleer," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 376 "They brought me," said Cuwignaka, "but I would have returned anyway".
Details
10
19 378 "Because I am Kaiila," said Cuwignaka, "no less than you!" "Do you think you are a man?" asked Canka.
Details
10
19 379 "I am a man," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 381 "It is not permitted to me," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 383 "I am not a woman," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 390 "I will not please warriors," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 392 "I will not please warriors," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 394 "I am not a woman," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 408 "Cuwignaka is a man," I said, "and you do not permit him to wear it".
Details
10
19 416 You did free Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 422 "It was Hci, with his fellows of the Sleen Soldiers, of the Isbu, the son of Mahpiyasapa, civil chieftain of the Isbu, who did it," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 424 "No," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 427 "Canka," I said to Cuwignaka, in Gorean, "does not seem to be displeased that you have been freed".
Details
10
19 428 "No," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 429 "You wear the dress of a woman," said Canka to Cuwignaka, suddenly, angrily.
Details
10
19 444 "No," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 447 "I will not," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 453 "He is my friend," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 456 "I will pay," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 458 "I will pay," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 522 "Please," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 585 "I am thirsty," said Cuwignaka, sitting down in the grass.
Details
10
19 596 By confessing his need for drink and food before us Cuwignaka had, in his way, honored us.
Details
10
19 598 "Meat," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 599 Grunt and I exchanged glances but, in the end, we fetched Cuwignaka some of the strips of dried kailiauk meat.
Details
10
19 603 "I am now ready to go to the camp," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 611 "I am preparing the mount for Cuwignaka," I said.
Details
10
19 617 "Do you not see, my friend?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 620 "Doubtless," said Cuwignaka, "but I do not think they wish to do so".
Details
10
19 622 "Go now," said Cuwignaka, "for, later, in the main camp, others may not be so lenient".
Details
10
19 670 "I think it is time to follow Canka," I said to Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 673 "Mount up," I said to Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 675 "I will walk," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 677 "I am Kaiila," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 690 Cuwignaka struggled to a seated position in the grass.
Details
10
19 721 "What are you thinking of?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 723 "If you are not going to flee," said Cuwignaka, "perhaps you should follow Canka, now".
Details
10
19 728 "The lot of a slave among the Kaiila, as among our peoples generally," said Cuwignaka, "is not an easy one".
Details
10
19 730 "At least you are not a female," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 739 "Let her displease him even in the least thing," said Cuwignaka, "and she will quickly discover that she is a slave and that he is her master".
Details
10
19 744 "No," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 746 "It is not so hard to understand," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 748 "Why was I not attacked? Why was I permitted an opportunity to attempt an escape? Why have I been treated with such lenience?" "Can you not guess?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 750 "Canka," said Cuwignaka, "is my brother".
Details
10
19 751 "What are you doing?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 767 Cuwignaka swayed in the saddle.
Details
10
19 802 "I think I am ready now," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 808 I then, leading the kaiila, on which Cuwignaka rode, slumped forward, with the lance, set my feet in the tracks of those who had preceded me, Canka and his party, and Grunt and Pimples, toward the smoke of the evening fires, toward the camp of the Isbu Kaiila.
Details
10
19 809 In a few moments Cuwignaka straightened his back.
Details
10
19 813 "A trail awaits," said Cuwignaka.

1 308 "How is it that a slave," asked Hci of Cuwignaka, "wears moccasins and rides a kaiila?" "It is permitted by Canka," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
19 1 I Speak with Cuwignaka "Cuwignaka!" I cried, startled, entering the interior of our lodge.
Details
10
24 31 I heard the two shafts crack together, Cuwignaka fending the driving point away, and then, to my dismay, I heard a swift, striking sound, and saw Cuwignaka struck from the side of the kaiila, and reeling and staggering backwards, then sprawling, his legs loose under him, to the dust, struck by the p...

25 42 "'Cuwignaka'" and 'Tatankasa'," said Cuwignaka.

32 1 What Cuwignaka Decided to Do "They enjoy their revels," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
38 40 "And is there not one," asked Hci, "whom you, my friend, Cuwignaka, would rather have licking your feet in terror?" "Perhaps," smiled Cuwignaka.
Details
10
44 813 Could this be the Cuwignaka she had once thought she knew? Surely it was a different Cuwignaka.
Details
10
54 11 "I am Cuwignaka," said Cuwignaka, stepping forward.
Details
10
54 75 "Cuwignaka," smiled Cuwignaka.
Details
10
55 5 Cuwignaka held his arm to mine, and then I held my arm to that of Hci, and then Hci, in turn, held his arm to that of Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 10 "They are coming," had said Cuwignaka, happily.
Details
10
1 13 "Yes," said Cuwignaka, astride his kaiila, to my left.
Details
10
1 22 "I do not know," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 29 "No," said Cuwignaka, happily.
Details
10
1 31 "No," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 34 "Has it been early before?" asked Grunt of Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 35 "Not in my lifetime," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 38 "Can you recall nothing of such a sort?" Cuwignaka shrugged.
Details
10
1 44 "That is dust, in the wind," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 54 "It can take the better part of a day to ride around it," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 56 "Who has counted the stars, who has numbered the blades of grass," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 69 "But let us be careful," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 73 We then followed Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 76 "It is the Pte!" called out Cuwignaka happily to us, turning to look at us.
Details
10
1 92 "No," said Cuwignaka, raising his voice.
Details
10
1 100 "I will inspect the animals," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 102 We watched Cuwignaka move his kaiila down the slope and toward the animals.
Details
10
1 113 In a few Ehn Cuwignaka, sweating, elated, his braided hair behind him, returned his lathered kaiila to our side.
Details
10
1 129 "It is Hci," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 155 I could now, given my time with Grunt and Cuwignaka, and my time in the Isbu camp, follow much of what was said.
Details
10
1 157 "We have come to see the Pte," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 168 "We are causing no harm," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 182 Indeed, is it not that in dreams one may even enter the medicine world itself? In dreams is it not the case that one might sit about the fires of the dead, conversing with them? Is it not the case that in dreams one may understand the speech of animals? And is it not the case that in dreams one may ...
Details
10
1 185 Cuwignaka did not even deign to respond.
Details
10
1 193 Cuwignaka stiffened on the back of his kaiila.
Details
10
1 195 "It is an order," said Grunt to Cuwignaka, in Gorean.
Details
10
1 201 Cuwignaka nodded, recognizing the justice of this view.
Details
10
1 205 Cuwignaka wheeled his kaiila about, angrily.
Details
10
1 207 "I am not a woman!" said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 209 "I am not a woman," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 212 "I am not a woman," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 215 "I am not a woman," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 220 Cuwignaka's fists clenched on the reins of his kaiila.
Details
10
1 223 "No," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 225 "I had no quarrel with the Fleer," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 229 Why do you not go away?" "I am Isbu," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 230 "I am Isbu Kaiila!" My hand on his arm restrained Cuwignaka from charging Hci.
Details
10
1 234 Cuwignaka shrugged.
Details
10
1 237 Cuwignaka, on the back of his kaiila, wore the remains of a white dress, a portion of the loot of a destroyed wagon train.
Details
10
1 242 It was from that time that he had been called Cuwignaka, which means "Woman's Dress".
Details
10
1 244 The second time Cuwignaka had refused to go on the warpath he had been bound in his dress and traded to Dust Legs, from whom, eventually, he was purchased as a slave by whites, in the vicinity of the Ihanke, the border between the lands of farmers and ranchers and the lands of the red savages.
Details
10
1 263 They were under the command of Canka, Cuwignaka's brother.
Details
10
1 269 Indeed, he was probably pleased, as I now understand, that we had freed Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 274 It was I, of course, who had actually freed Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 297 "Please," had said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 311 "He is not your slave," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 346 I stayed with Cuwignaka in a tattered lodge, donated by Akihoka, One-Who-Is-Skillful, a close friend of Canka.
Details
10
1 352 "This is not necessary," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 354 "I do not fear you," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 356 "I am a man," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 362 "Yes," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 364 "Do not do this," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 366 "No," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 368 "Yes," said Cuwignaka, uncertainly.
Details
10
1 373 "Canka will hear of this," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 377 Hci doubtless held Canka responsible, in some fashion, for Cuwignaka's freedom, and his presence among the Isbu, a presence which many among the Isbu, including Hci, found infuriating and shameful.
Details
10
1 379 On Canka's part, similarly, there was little affection borne toward Hci, largely because of the latter's hostility towards his brother, Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 380 In Canka's view Hci's contempt for Cuwignaka was more unbending, more extreme and rigid, than was called for.
Details
10
1 381 Cuwignaka lived and dressed as a woman; he was referred to as a woman and performed the labors of a woman.
Details
10
1 403 "Do you command me as Hci, or as a Sleen Soldier?" asked Cuwignaka, angrily.
Details
10
1 405 "I obey you as a Sleen Soldier," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 407 "When the hunt is mounted," said Hci to Cuwignaka, "you may not hunt.
Details
10
1 409 "That is known to me," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 411 "No," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 418 "Do not pursue him," said Grunt to Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 419 "I am a man," said Cuwignaka, angrily.
Details
10
1 421 "I must fight him," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 425 "Rise up, Mitakola, my friend," said Cuwignaka to me.
Details
10
1 432 "Do you not wish to kill him?" asked Cuwignaka, bitterly.
Details
10
1 441 "Do you not want to kill him?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 443 "I want to kill him," said Cuwignaka, bitterly.
Details
10
1 446 "But I do not have to like him," said Cuwignaka, suddenly, laughing.
Details
10
1 452 "He is mad," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 479 "Do not have trouble with Hci," said Grunt to Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 481 "You are right," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 486 Cuwignaka and I, and Grunt, then turned our attention to survey the Pte, the kailiauk.
Details
10
1 488 "They are glorious," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 492 "We must be going," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
1 496 "They are glorious!" exclaimed Cuwignaka, and then he turned his kaiila and descended the small rise, moving towards the camp.
Details
10
1 507 We then brought our kaiila about and, descending the rise, followed Cuwignaka toward the camp.
Details
10
2 1 The Procession of the Isanna Wasnapohdi, or Pimples, naked, her dark hair loose and wild behind her, strings of glass beads about her throat, put there by Grunt, marking her as his, in the tattered lodge I shared with Cuwignaka, clutched me, gasping, half rearing under me.
Details
10
2 12 "Finish with her, quickly," said Cuwignaka, entering the lodge.
Details
10
2 19 "Hurry! Finish with her!" said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 24 "Hurry!" said Cuwignaka, happily.
Details
10
2 27 Cuwignaka thrust back the flap at the entrance to the lodge, on its wooden frame.
Details
10
2 171 "Hurry!" said Cuwignaka, impatiently.
Details
10
2 187 "I must accompany Cuwignaka".
Details
10
2 188 "Yes," said Cuwignaka, firmly.
Details
10
2 193 I then hurried after Cuwignaka, who was almost darting between lodges.
Details
10
2 196 "There!" said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 198 "Yes!" said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 213 "It is a splendid sight!" said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 224 "Splendid! Splendid!" said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 252 "It is simply splendid," said Cuwignaka, happily.
Details
10
2 258 "It is the way our peoples move," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 273 "The two-legged, female animals here are mostly blond," I said to Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 279 "The others," said Cuwignaka, "stripped, are kept in small herds, with the kaiila, outside the camp, watched over by boys".
Details
10
2 296 "Mahpiyasapa is going to greet Watonka," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 298 I was not at all certain that this was a good idea, but I accompanied Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 308 "Greetings, Iwoso," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 311 The standing girl, to whom Cuwignaka had spoken, had come with the Isanna.
Details
10
2 325 "You, too, Bloketu," said Cuwignaka, looking up at the mounted girl.
Details
10
2 327 "Iwoso is a Yellow Knife," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 333 "Iwoso has high status with the Isanna," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 343 "I do not know her," said Bloketu, not deigning to look upon Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 344 "From the summer dances, long ago," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 353 This was the first time I had ever heard the former name of Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 356 "Iwoso!" protested Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 362 "Go away," said Canka to Cuwignaka, angrily.
Details
10
2 391 "Perhaps you will come sew with us sometime," said Bloketu, lofty and beautiful on the kaiila, to Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 392 Cuwignaka did not respond to her.
Details
10
2 396 Cuwignaka regarded her with fury.
Details
10
2 399 This, too, stung Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 401 "You were told to go away," said Hci to Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 402 "Does a sister not obey her brother?" "He is my older brother," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 408 "Not at all," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 411 "Yes," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 415 "If they were slaves," said Cuwignaka, "I would strip them and teach them, like the slaves they would then be, no different from others, to obey me well".
Details
10
2 417 "Of course," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 420 "Yes," said Cuwignaka, "in a sense.
Details
10
2 426 "After the hunt," said Cuwignaka, "the great dance will be held".
Details
10
2 427 I had to walk quickly to keep up with Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 428 "Where are you going now?" I asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 434 "This year," Cuwignaka, "I am going to dance.
Details
10
2 436 "The pole," I said, "is used in this dance?" "Of course," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 438 "It is better for such as we to go afoot," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 440 "Yes," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 442 "The Isanna are now here," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 445 "The medicine chief of the dance," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 452 "Who will cut down this pole," I asked, "chieftains?" "No," laughed Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 455 "It is a pole," said Cuwignaka, "a great pole".
Details
10
2 457 "Who, then, must begin its preparation for the great manhood dance?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 459 "A captive female," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
2 461 "That is ideal," said Cuwignaka, "provided she is not Kaiila".
Details
10
2 462 "Has it been decided," I asked, "who will perform this crucial role in the ceremony?" "Yes," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 1 The Pole "How beautiful she is," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 22 "That is Cancega," whispered Cuwignaka to me.
Details
10
3 31 "The five high coups have already been taken," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 35 "It is a race," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 39 "No," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 42 "We shall accompany them," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 45 "He is more important than you understand," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 50 "I do not think I would put it just that way," said Cuwignaka, somewhat defensively.
Details
10
3 53 "Do all the Kaiila ever have but one chief?" "Sometimes a war chief is elected," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 56 "No," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 59 "One may, of course, at different times, be a war chief and a civil chief," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 61 "Sometimes a man is good at both," said Cuwignaka, "but they are still different things".
Details
10
3 63 "And, generally, I think," said Cuwignaka, "that it would be only a very unusual man who would be good at both".
Details
10
3 65 "They are very different sorts of things," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 80 "It is tall and straight!" shouted the two seconds, in the dance, and most of the others, as well, including my friend, Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 87 "You should not be here," said a man to Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 89 "I am a man," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 116 "What occurs now?" I asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 161 "Do not interfere," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 174 "She is quite beautiful," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 178 "Observe," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 224 "Ah," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 227 "I think a rock would be pleased," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 232 "It is the Kaiila!" shouted Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 235 "She is aroused," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 257 "She is quite good, the slave," said Cuwignaka.

3 259 "She has not been trained to do this, has she?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 262 "It is instinctual in a woman," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 270 "Superb," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 273 "Look," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 284 "The slave dances well," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 292 "It is the Kaiila!" shouted Cuwignaka.
Details
10
3 318 "You may get up," said Cuwignaka to Winyela.
Details
10
4 2 Awaken!" said Cuwignaka, shaking my shoulder.
Details
10
4 7 "Hurry," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
4 9 In the half darkness I saw Cuwignaka pull his dress over his head.
Details
10
4 33 "Wakapapi," said Cuwignaka to me.
Details
10
4 57 "I am going to check the kaiila," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
4 65 Cuwignaka was eager.
Details
10
4 74 How she had scorned me when she had thought me helpless! Anger, even in the lodge of Cuwignaka, suffused me.
Details
10
4 116 "Are you not ready?" asked Cuwignaka, coming into the lodge.
Details
10
4 120 Cuwignaka, then, disappeared again through the threshold of the lodge.
Details
10
4 132 Several other things had been given to Cuwignaka by Canka, or other members of the Isbu, usually of the All Comrades.
Details
10
4 137 In doing this he had set an example to his people and, more importantly from Cuwignaka's point of view, acknowledged his right to remain with the Isbu.
Details
10
4 204 "Howo, Tatankasa!" said Cuwignaka, thrusting his head into the lodge.
Details
10
4 210 Cuwignaka had the two travois already hitched up.
Details
10
4 213 "Where have you been?" asked Cuwignaka, when I returned.
Details
10
4 219 "We will be leaving any moment," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
4 238 "Remember, pretty Siptopto," said Hci, sneeringly, to Cuwignaka, "you are not to hunt.
Details
10
4 241 'Siptopto' was an insulting pet name by which Hci occasionally addressed Cuwignaka.
Details
10
4 244 "I am not a woman," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
4 247 "I will stay back from the hunt," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
4 250 "We will stay back from the hunt," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
4 335 I walked back to where Cuwignaka was waiting.
Details
10
4 336 "We will soon be going out," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
4 344 "Canka," said Cuwignaka, as Canka stopped his kaiila near us.
Details
10
4 346 "Greetings, my brother," said Cuwignaka happily.
Details
10
4 348 "Where is Winyela?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
4 355 "Winyela is white," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
4 359 "You have never beaten her in your life," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
4 361 "Good," said Cuwignaka, approvingly.
Details
10
4 363 "Of course," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
4 365 "I will not," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
4 373 "I do not understand," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
4 375 "We will," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
4 379 "No," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
4 381 "Yes," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
4 384 Be careful," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
4 390 "We are going to make meat!" said Cuwignaka, happily.
Details
10
4 394 Then came the women, with the kaiila and travois, the poles leaving lines in the dust, and with them, joining them, came Cuwignaka and myself.
Details
10
5 1 Cuwignaka and I Will Go to the Draw "Help me," said Wasnapohdi, "please".
Details
10
5 108 "Cuwignaka and I must get back to work," I said.
Details
10
5 111 I then went to join Cuwignaka.
Details
10
5 120 Greetings, Iwoso," said Cuwignaka, grinning.
Details
10
5 122 "We have already made four trips back to the village," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
5 124 "How many trips have you made?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
5 131 "It is you who are lazy and slow, Bloketu," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
5 136 "It is not enough to be merely beautiful," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
5 138 "That is not enough," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
5 142 "Yes," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
5 145 "Yes," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
5 150 "You might make an excellent slave, Bloketu," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
5 156 "Hold," I said to Cuwignaka.
Details
10
5 162 She pointed to Cuwignaka.
Details
10
5 164 "Her!" said Bloketu, returning to the tribally prescribed feminine gender for Cuwignaka.
Details
10
5 172 Cuwignaka's assessment, it seemed clear, was one for which he thought there was much to be said.
Details
10
5 192 "Punish him," said Bloketu, pointing to Cuwignaka.
Details
10
5 217 "Yes, Hci," said Cuwignaka, obediently.
Details
10
5 230 "Yes," said Cuwignaka, angrily.
Details
10
5 232 "Yes, Hci," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
5 235 "This meat on our travois," said Cuwignaka, "is to be destroyed".
Details
10
5 237 "We will go to the draw," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 3 "Oh, yes," said Cuwignaka, bitterly.
Details
10
6 5 Cuwignaka, too, lifted his head.
Details
10
6 9 "They are coming," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 14 "Two, maybe three hundred," said Cuwignaka, climbing lightly to the silken back of his kaiila.
Details
10
6 17 "Mount up," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 29 The kaiila of Cuwignaka squealed and reared.
Details
10
6 32 Cuwignaka and I, then, not more than a few yards ahead of the animals, which, in a body, buffeting and storming, tridents down, their heads low, as the kailiauk runs, came streaming, flooding, bellowing, torrentlike, about that bend in the draw, raced to safety.
Details
10
6 39 "Let us return to the draw," said Cuwignaka, mounting up.
Details
10
6 43 "The animals were probably isolated in the other end of the draw," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 46 "I think so," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 49 "Not really," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 53 "No harm was intended to come to us," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 55 "The meat is gone," said Cuwignaka, in a moment.
Details
10
6 59 "Leave it for the flies," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 61 "Yes," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 69 Cuwignaka dismounted and began to gather in the rawhide bindings and pieces of harness from the shattered travois.
Details
10
6 74 "The head is there," said Cuwignaka, indicating the head of the beast we had skinned, and had been fleshing.
Details
10
6 76 "When we are finished," said Cuwignaka, "we will take it out of the draw.
Details
10
6 82 "It is Hci," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 90 "Hou, Cuwignaka," said Hci.
Details
10
6 91 "Hou, Hci," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 94 "Yes," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 96 "No," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 98 "Yes," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 101 Cuwignaka was furious, but did not speak.
Details
10
6 105 "Why did you do this?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 107 "It is you who have destroyed the meat!" said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 118 "I will do so," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 122 "I must leave the Isbu," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 124 "I am a shame to my brother," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 127 "Yes," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 130 "The kailiauk is a noble animal," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 133 "What?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 138 "Of course," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 141 "But I am a shame to the Isbu," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 146 "I guess you are right," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 150 "Maybe you are right," smiled Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 153 "Why is that?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 156 "That is pretty good, is it not?" said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 158 "But men are stronger than women," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 161 "Yes," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 163 "Yes," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 167 "Four loads," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
6 170 "I am ready to go back to the camp now," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 2 "He beat me!" "You are in the presence of a free man," I said, indicating Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 9 "Forgive me, Master," she said to Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 100 Cuwignaka remained outside.
Details
10
7 350 "Not to Cuwignaka?" I asked.
Details
10
7 422 Outside the lodge, I saw Cuwignaka, on his knees, scraping at a pegged-down hide.
Details
10
7 430 "But she was sent here to report to you, was she not?" asked Cuwignaka, pausing in his work.
Details
10
7 435 "Do you know what it means," asked Cuwignaka, "when a woman is ordered to report to a man, and she is naked and bound?" "I have some idea," I admitted.
Details
10
7 439 "She had just been beaten," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 442 "A splendidly humbling experience for a female slave," said Cuwignaka, "and one that teaches her her meaninglessness, and worthlessness, superbly".
Details
10
7 446 "In this you have doubtless not fulfilled the will of Canka," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 448 "Certainly," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 450 "What difference could that possibly make?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 452 "Yes," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 455 "A bold decision for one to make who is only a slave," smiled Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 458 "Besides," said Cuwignaka, "Canka likes you".
Details
10
7 462 "You wear a collar," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 466 "But she is often elsewhere," said Cuwignaka, "and Grunt, for purposes of business, often consigns her to others, sometimes for more than a day or two".
Details
10
7 468 "So why should you object," asked Cuwignaka, "if Canka, in his friendship for you, in a suitable context, for an afternoon, makes you a present of Winyela?" "I do not object," I laughed.
Details
10
7 470 "That seems to be Canka's decision, not yours," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 473 "And you let her sleep!" scoffed Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 478 Cuwignaka bent again to his work, with the bone scraper.
Details
10
7 481 Cuwignaka laughed.
Details
10
7 484 "No," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 487 This response, a joke on Cuwignaka's part, is a commonplace among the red savages.
Details
10
7 517 "What are you going to do?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 519 "I thought you might," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 524 "I saw him this morning," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 527 "I do not know," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 531 "Of course," said Cuwignaka, working the hide.
Details
10
7 533 "I do not know," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 536 Cuwignaka bent even more closely over the hide.
Details
10
7 538 It is common, of course, for women to mock one such as Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 540 "I had a dream last night about Bloketu," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 546 "Yes," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 554 "What is her name? It is Cuwignaka, is it not?" laughed Bloketu.
Details
10
7 556 "Ah, Cuwignaka," said Bloketu, "you are fortunate that you are not the woman of a Kaiila warrior.
Details
10
7 610 "That is wonderful," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 611 "Attend to your work, Girl," said Hci to Cuwignaka, "or I will put you to sewing".
Details
10
7 612 Cuwignaka, angrily, sat back on his heels.
Details
10
7 688 I saw Cuwignaka looking at Bloketu.
Details
10
7 760 "Why should Iwoso become important?" asked Cuwignaka, kneeling near the hide on which he was working.
Details
10
7 764 "I would like to know," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 767 "I am not a female slave," said Cuwignaka, "expected to serve in ignorance, unquestioningly, supposedly concerned, truly, only with the pleasures of her master".
Details
10
7 769 "No," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 771 "I am two years older than you, at least," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 773 "Tell me," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 774 "I think I will call a man, pretty Cuwignaka," she said, "to put you about your sewing".
Details
10
7 775 "It has to do with the Yellow Knives, does it not?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 778 Cuwignaka, too, must have understood this.
Details
10
7 779 "If Iwoso is to become important," said Cuwignaka, "then doubtless you would be even more important".
Details
10
7 781 "And if you are important," said Cuwignaka, puzzled, "then surely Watonka, your father, would be even more important".
Details
10
7 783 "But how could one be more important than being a chief of the Isanna?" asked Cuwignaka, genuinely puzzled.
Details
10
7 787 "That is true," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 789 "That is very true," said Cuwignaka, kneeling back on the dirt, near the pegged-down hide.
Details
10
7 793 "You are a noble girl," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 798 Cuwignaka picked up his bone scraper and, once again, began to give his attention to the hide on which he was working.
Details
10
7 805 I saw that she had not fulfilled, to her satisfaction, her desire to have sport with Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 807 "Do not wait on my account," said Cuwignaka, not looking up from his work.
Details
10
7 811 "Scraping a hide," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 814 "I do not care to be mocked," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 818 Cuwignaka grunted, irritably.
Details
10
7 822 Thus, indirectly, even tribes hostile to the Kaiila, or normally so, such as the Fleer and the Yellow Knives might, quite possibly, have heard of Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 824 Cuwignaka, to be sure, was a very hard worker.
Details
10
7 828 Cuwignaka did not respond to her.
Details
10
7 830 Cuwignaka did not respond.
Details
10
7 832 Cuwignaka did not respond.
Details
10
7 833 "All in all, I think you would be a very valuable girl to have in a lodge, Cuwignaka," said Bloketu.
Details
10
7 835 Cuwignaka worked steadily, angrily.
Details
10
7 839 "I can cook," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 843 "Maybe not," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 848 "What do you mean by that?" asked Bloketu, angrily, of Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 849 "It is well known among the Kaiila," said Cuwignaka, kneeling back on his heels, putting aside the bone scraper and looking up at Bloketu, "that you are not good for much".
Details
10
7 852 "Yes," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 854 "That is because you are the daughter of a chief," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 857 "Who has told you that?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 859 "It was dark outside," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 861 "They tell you that because you are the daughter of a chief," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 863 "They want a kaiila from Watonka," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 865 Cuwignaka shrugged.
Details
10
7 868 I saw, too, in so simple an exchange, that Cuwignaka was intellectually dominant over Bloketu.
Details
10
7 870 "Have I ever told you that?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 873 "Oh?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 875 "Well," said Cuwignaka, "that may be true.
Details
10
7 878 "Thus," she said, triumphantly, "you think that I am beautiful!" "Did I say I was talking about you?" asked Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 884 Cuwignaka looked up at her.
Details
10
7 888 Cuwignaka then rose to his feet.
Details
10
7 904 "I desire you, Bloketu," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 910 Cuwignaka, standing, looked after the two girls.
Details
10
7 917 "I do, too," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 919 Cuwignaka grinned.
Details
10
7 924 "There would be much prestige, to be sure," smiled Cuwignaka, "but, too, doubtless, in the giving of gifts, many kaiila would change hands".
Details
10
7 926 "Already Watonka is the richest of all the Kaiila," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 929 "Over his herds the sky will be dark with fleer," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 933 "Thus," said Cuwignaka, "Bloketu would be important, being the daughter of such a man, and even Iwoso, only a slave, would become celebrated amongst several tribes, serving as a maiden in so rich a household".
Details
10
7 936 "Particularly," smiled Cuwignaka, "since matters, at this time, are, I gather, so uncertain and tentative".
Details
10
7 938 "I do not know," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 941 "Yes," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 945 "She came in with the Isanna," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 950 "She is arrogant," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 955 "She is probably kept in one of the Isanna's girl herds," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 971 "I myself," said Cuwignaka, "would prefer to keep slaves in my own lodge".
Details
10
7 973 "They are pretentious, and vain," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 978 "Yes," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 981 "But, in such things, the men should be the masters, fully," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 983 "It is well known that the Isanna women are insufficiently disciplined," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 985 "Yes," said Cuwignaka, "Bloketu is insufficiently disciplined.
Details
10
7 988 "Yes," said Cuwignaka, grimly.
Details
10
7 991 If she were a foreign woman who had fallen into Cuwignaka's hands, I did not doubt but what she would learn discipline, well and swiftly.
Details
10
7 994 "You are hot," smiled Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 997 "Winyela sleeps within the lodge," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 1001 "One should not be too soft with female slaves," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 1005 "Of course," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 1009 "He will wish for her to be returned to his lodge a better slave than she left it," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 1011 "Lash her awake," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 1015 "As you wish," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 1017 "As you wish," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 1019 "And look for Wasnapohdi," laughed Cuwignaka.
Details
10
7 1021 "Poor Wasnapohdi!" laughed Cuwignaka.
Details
10
8 22 "I spoke to Cuwignaka earlier today," I said.
Details
10
9 1 This Occurred in the Lodge of Cuwignaka Gently I put my hand on the girl's small, soft shoulder, it under the hide blanket.
Details
10
9 358 I recalled that Cuwignaka and Grunt had also, both, been of this opinion.
Details
10
10 75 I had suggested the business of the kaiila quirt to her before we had left Cuwignaka's lodge.
Details
10
11 1 It is in the Time of Festivals "Canka is extremely pleased," said Cuwignaka, coming up to me.
Details
10
11 5 "He is permitting her a dress of soft tabuk skin," said Cuwignaka, "creamy white and soft-tanned, though, to be sure, of slave length.
Details
10
11 15 "I have never seen Canka so happy," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
11 22 "I, myself," said Cuwignaka, "feel the need of a slave".
Details
10
11 24 "That is true," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
11 26 "I was thinking more of my own slave," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
11 29 "I was thinking more in terms of a red slave," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
11 31 "Twice I did not take the warpath," said Cuwignaka, "because I had no quarrel with the Fleer.
Details
10
11 34 "How do you feel about kaiila raids?" "I see little wrong with them," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
11 39 "What, then," I asked, "about a girl hunt, or a girl raid?" "Perhaps," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
11 53 "But," said Cuwignaka, "I was thinking not so much in terms of any red slave, as of some red slave".
Details
10
11 58 "I know," smiled Cuwignaka.
Details
10
11 62 When Cuwignaka had come up to me he had been carrying an oblong object, wrapped in rawhide.
Details
10
11 66 "You may keep it," said Cuwignaka, "until the end of the festivals".
Details
10
11 70 "Canka was very pleased with your work with Winyela," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
11 79 "He likes you," said Cuwignaka.
Details
10
11 85 "I think he will free you during the feasts and giveaways," said Cuwignaka, smiling.
