Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
1	204	But mostly I remember a blind, headlong flight, a panic-stricken, unworthy, sickening flight.	10
3	256	Whereas large Earth birds, such as the eagle, must, when taking flight from the ground, begin with a running start, the tarn, with its incredible musculature, aided undoubtedly by the somewhat lighter gravity of Gor, can with a spring and a sudden flurry of its giant wings lift both himself and his ...	10
3	271	The Older Tarl had mounted his tarn, climbing up the five-rung leather mounting ladder which hangs on the left side of the saddle and is pulled up in flight.	10
4	21	To rise into flight, or gain altitude, one draws on the one-strap, which exerts pressure on the one-ring, which is located on the back of the tarn's neck.	10
4	40	I released the reins, letting them hang on the saddle-ring, which is the signal for a constant and straight flight, no pressure on the throat strap.	10
5	31	As soon as we had taken flight, I had unfastened the restraining straps on her legs and wrists, leaving only the broad belt which lashed her securely to the back of the tarn.	10
6	14	In a moment he had taken flight again, bawling out some semblance of a song about the woes of a camp girl, the bag of paga, flying behind him, dangling from its long straps.	10
6	17	I abruptly forced my tarn into flight, streaking for the tower of the Ubar.	10
6	39	I cursed as an arrow creased my shoulder, as the tarn's great wings smote the air and the monster took to flight.	10

6	219	After a few minutes, his beak and talons wet with blood and feathers, your tarn took flight.	10
12	95	The flight of the tarn was serene, and I, grateful to be free at last of the painful Frame of Humiliation, found myself, strangely enough, almost reconciled to the savage but swift fate I knew awaited me.	10
12	96	But suddenly the flight of the tarn became much more rapid and then in another minute almost erratic and frenzied.	10
12	120	After a few minutes of my ministrations the tarn, satisfied, spread his wings and took flight, to continue the search for food which had been interrupted.	10
12	148	The pack also contained, and more importantly from my point of view, the balance of my supplies, intended for the home flight to Ko-ro-ba.	10
12	177	I breathed a sigh of relief as the black monster lifted himself in flight.	10
13	21	Even the tarn seemed to shiver in its flight.	10
14	138	The birds were pulling against one another, stabilized in their flight, each trying to pull away from the other.	10
14	165	I could hear the flight of another tarn above me.	10
14	175	I rose into flight, not thinking about Ko-ro-ba again or the Home Stone.	10
15	7	Within the city the Initiates, who had seized control shortly after the flight of Marlenus, would have already tapped the siege reservoirs and begun to ration the stores of the huge grain cylinders.	10
17	104	Still, the days in the tarn cot, gigantic though it was, must have been confining for that Ubar of the Skies, my tarn, and I knew he would relish flight, the chance to pit his wings once again against the fierce winds of Gor.	10
18	108	The first time I hauled on the one-strap, the bird would not move; the second time he lifted into flight, almost immediately scraping the ceiling of the tunnel with his wings, protesting shrilly.	10
19	22	He had brought his tarn to flight and was descending to the streets below to rally the dispirited citizens of Ar, to call them again to arms, to challenge them to renounce the treacherous authority of the self-seeking Initiates, to strike again their blow for freedom, to die rather than yield their ...	10
19	29	I brought the tarn to flight and set its course for the Cylinder of Justice.	10

7	98	I looked at the girl, now after her long days of suffering and flight at last a captive, her slender wrists encircled at last by Thorn's hated bracelets, beautifully wrought bracelets, like many, of exquisite workmanship, bright with color, set even with jewels, but like all slave bracelets, of unyi...	10
14	111	I wondered if it too recalled the thunder of the wind, the clash of arms as tarnsmen dueled in flight, the sight of Gor's tarn cavalries wheeling in formation to the beat of the tarn drums, or the long, steady, lonely soaring flights we had known together over the green fields of Gor.	10
14	169	He seemed to resent the goad, to fight it, to behave erratically when it was used; when struck with it he might even slow his flight, or deliberately disobey the commands of the tarn straps.	10
14	176	Something of the same exhilaration which I had felt in my first wild flight on a tarn, this very giant, now thrilled in me again.	10

15	23	I know of few sensations so splendid, so godlike, as sharing the flight of a tarn.	10
15	35	I cursed myself for a thoughtless fool, for in the exhilaration of the flight, incomprehensible though it seems to me now, I had forgotten the Tatrix.	10
15	36	How frightful for her must have been those minutes of flight, grasped in the talons, hundreds of feet above the plains of Tharna, not knowing if she might be dropped at any instant, or carried to some ledge to be ripped to pieces by that monstrous beak, those hideous steel-shod talons.	10
15	43	Though I scrutinized the sky behind me, looking for those tiny specks that would be distant tarns in flight, I saw nothing.	10
15	53	The great bird paused in flight, braking with its wings, and then smoothly descended to a high ledge on one of the ridges, a ledge commanding the countryside for pasangs around, a ledge accessible only on tarnback.	10
16	99	When it had seen me fall it had apparently taken flight.	10
16	125	He hauled on the one-strap and the monster took flight.	10
20	43	He offered no resistance, he showed no anger, when I leaped to his back and cried, as before, "One-strap!" at which signal, with a shrill cry and a mighty spring, those gigantic wings cracked like whips and beat their way aloft in the glory of flight.	10
25	144	"Do not forget Dorna the Proud, for we have an account to settle!" The hands in their gloves of silver jerked back savagely on the one-strap and the wings of the tarn burst into flight.	10
26	125	I have seen it in the vanished towers of Ko-ro-ba and in the flight of a tarn, in the movements of a beautiful woman, in the gleam of weaponry, in the sound of tarn drums and the crash of thunder over green fields.	10

19	30	"They are worn on Tola by all Priest-Kings in memory of the Nuptial Flight, for the Nuptial Flight takes place above the ground in the sun and there on the surface there are many things which are green".	10
1	5	Once it had tried to carry me over the palisade into the mountains, but never again would I have essayed that flight.	10

5	8	I heard a haruspex singing between the wagons; for a piece of meat he would read the wind and the grass; for a cup of wine the stars and the flight of birds; for a fat-bellied dinner the liver of a sleen or slave.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
12	100	Racing tarns are not used by tarnsmen in war because they lack the weight and power of war tarns; meeting a war tarn in flight, a racing tarn would be torn to pieces in moments; further, the racing tarns, though marvelous in their particular ways, lack the stamina of the common tarn or the war tarn;...	10
5	15	In a girl's collar lock there would be either six pins or six disks, one each, it is said, for each letter in the Gorean word for female slave, Kajira; the male slave, or Kajirus, seldom has a locked collar; normally a band of iron is simply hammered about his neck; often he works in chains, usually...	10
7	145	Each was marked and sealed, but in each, at two points, there were valve openings, through which in flight I supposed two tubes might pass, one perhaps for oxygen and another gas used to sedate the occupant, and one to draw the carbon dioxide from the cylinder.	10

12	6	The next seven tarns, strung out, sped through the ring and wheeled in flight to take the next ring.	10
12	99	The racing tarn, interestingly, is an extremely light bird; two men can lift one; even its beak is narrower and lighter than the beak of a common tarn or a war tarn; its wings are commonly broader and shorter than those of the other tarns, permitting a swifter takeoff and providing a capacity for ex...	10
12	130	The judge's bar rang once and there was a cry from the crowd and all leaped to their feet as, with a flurry of beating wings, almost at the instant the white cord was whipped away from in front of them, the tarns took flight.	10
12	134	The flight track itself, of course, is rather like a narrow, aerial rectangle with two rounded ends.	10
12	137	If four tarns were flown perfectly, one above, one below, and one on each side, four could just pass through one of the round rings; one of the objects of course is to maneuver the tarn in such a way that it takes the center of the ring, or forces the following bird to strike the ring or miss it alt...	10
13	14	The institution of capture is universal, to the best of my knowledge, on Gor; there is no city which does not honor it, provided the females captured are those of the enemy, either their free women or their slaves; it is often a young tarnsman's first mission, the securing of a female, preferably fr...	10
13	96	She threw all her energies now into her panic-stricken flight; but the beauty of the rhythm, that powerful, even rhythm, was gone; her stroke was uneven; she lifted too much water; she missed a breath; she thrashed; but still she fled wildly for safety, kicking madly, trying to escape.	10
13	292	On the racing saddle there are two small straps, rather than the one large strap on the common saddle; both straps fasten about the rider and to the saddle, in a sense each duplicating the work of the other; the theory is that though smaller straps can break more easily the probability of both strap...	10
13	306	The first time I attempted to use the harness, though I was aware of the danger, I overdrew the strap and the suddenness of the bird as it veered in flight threw me against the two narrow safety straps; the small, broad, rapid-beating wings of the racing tarn permit shifts and turns that would be im...	10
13	307	With a tap on the two-strap I took the bird in a sudden breathtaking sweep to the high right and in an instant had joined Mip in flight.	10
17	153	After each race Mip, in detail, would discuss my riding, making suggestions; before each race, he would explain to me what he knew of the habits of the riders and tarns I faced, which was almost invariably a great deal; he taught me to recognize for myself certain faults in other riders, certain exp...	10

19	251	As the auctioneer reached for the hood of the third girl, she turned away and suddenly, though chained by the wrists, darted toward the stairs; the slack in the chain was taken up in her flight and, on the second or third stair down, she was spun about and thrown to the steps, half on them, half on ...	10
21	298	Yet, in the day of the tharlarion and tarn, one still finds, among infantries, the Torian Square; the phalanx, though its impact could be exceeded only by the tharlarion wedge or line, is now unknown, except for a defensive relic known as the Wall, in which massed infantry remains stationary, heroic...	10
22	135	Menicius, I saw, savagely dragged his bird back to the center of the flight path, cursing, realizing how Mip had waited to take advantage of his momentary surrender of the center.	10
22	181	I watched the dark, swift flight of the quarrel, like a black needle, and saw it drop into the back of the Taurentian, who suddenly stiffened, seeming inches taller, the metal fins of the bolt like a tiny dark triangle in the purple of the cloak, and pitched lifeless from the wall.	10
22	397	The small bow, interestingly, has never been used among tarnsmen; perhaps this is because the kaiila is almost unknown above the equator, and the lesson of kaiilaback fighting has not been much available to them; perhaps it is because of tradition, which weighs heavily in Gorean life, and even in mi...	10

3	39	Ho-Hak looked at the garb of the warrior, the helmet and shield, the sword with its scabbard, and the leather-wrapped bow of supple Ka-la-na wood, with its roll of sheaf and flight arrows.	10

3	140	Then he took, from the unwrapped roll of arrows, now spilled on the leather, a flight arrow, and this, to my admiration, he fitted to the bow and drew it to the very pile itself.	10

7	81	A flock of marsh gants, wild, took flight, circled, and then, seeing I meant them no harm, returned to the island, though to its farther shore.	10

16	256	"Now," said I, facing the man who had told me there was but one choice, that of flight, "shall we fly?" He looked at the simple rock, wonderingly.	10
16	340	And I heard men behind him cry, "There is a Home Stone in Port Kar! There is a Home Stone in Port Kar!" This cry was taken up by thousands, and everywhere I saw men pause in their flight, and boats put about, and men pour from the entryways of their buildings onto the walks lining the canals.	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

7	86	Rask withdrew his men and, in moments, the captured girls bound across their saddles, and many of the other goods of Targo thrust into their packs, they took flight.	10
8	169	Far away, through the sky, from the east of Laura, following the forest line, there came a flight of tarnsmen, perhaps forty of them, mounted on the great, fierce, hawklike saddlebirds of Gor, the huge, swift, predatory, ferocious tarns, called Brothers of the Wind.	10

10	271	I remembered my pressing my hands against its sides, the beginning of the flight from Earth, the sedating gases.	10
11	95	Some two or three years ago it had fallen to barbarians, nomadic warriors, and many of its citizens, in flight from the city, had escaped north.	10
11	101	It had been known on Gor before, but it was only with the flight of the escaping Turians that it had become more widespread recently.	10
11	829	I was like an animal without hands, a four-footed animal, save that I had no hide to protect me, but only the softness of my flesh, and I did not have the delicate senses, the smell and the hearing of such animals to protect me, and I did not have their swiftness, the fleetness of their flight.	10

13	443	At that moment several flights of tarnsmen, dozens in each flight, swept overhead.	10
13	479	The tarn then smote the air, leapt from the roof, soared for a moment, and then, wings beating, rose higher, leveled in its flight, and then streaked from the city, in a direction other than that taken by those in pursuit of the Trevean raiders.	10

47	43	The sensation now was almost identical to that of the shuttles, in free flight amongst the cylinders.	10
47	92	It should be understood that the control of the wings, as they are commonly constructed, requires the use of both arms, and, resultantly, it is difficult, and, in some cases, impractical, to use certain weapons while in flight.	10

12	238	Indeed the only experience many women had with tarns was to be slung naked as one of a pair, one on each side, fastened to a saddle ring, or to be, if a single quarry, hauled aloft by a tarnsman's braided, leather rope and then, their clothing cut from them, to be put on their back across the saddle...	10
12	292	One supposes that the bird is dreaming, doubtless of flight, perhaps of the hunt.	10
14	87	The obvious recourse then would seem to be something like the Tuchuk saddle bow, which could easily clear the saddle to left and right, and could even be used, the rider turning in the saddle, to backward flight arrows.	10
14	100	Such a net, well cast, I hoped, might entangle an enemy tarn or its rider in the sky, interfering with the bird's flight or the rider's capacity to engage.	10
16	13	"Rings free!" I called to Ichiro, and he blew the appropriate blast, and the flock leveled out in its flight, and continued on the path on which it had been set.	10
16	19	"Rings free!" The horn gave forth this command, and the flock descended to the left and leveled in its flight.	10
16	23	I suspect this is something which is missed in most mechanistic flight, but was probably hinted at, or suggested, by the small, responsive, single-engine aircraft which were used, say, in the first quarter of the twentieth century on Earth.	10
16	27	In the side-slung saddle boot, on the right, horizontal with the flight, was the black, temwood lance.	10
16	37	The group then was divided into, say, two "centuries," of one hundred riders each, each century into five squadrons, so to speak, of twenty riders each, each squadron into, say, two flights, of ten riders each, and each flight into two "prides," of five riders each.	10
16	59	In flight this would make little difference, but if my men were to function on the ground, in, say, commando activity, or such, I thought it might be helpful.	10
16	108	If the kaiila's track or the bird's flight tends to be erratic, for example, in the midst of shouts and confusion, in which it is tested, it will be rejected for purposes of war.	10
16	110	In this respect, obviously, the smooth flight of the tarn, particularly in its soaring, wings-spread approach, is far superior to the gallop of the racing kaiila.	10
16	272	In the distance, far off, coming from the south, it seemed a cloud had formed, obscure, uncertain, at first, and then swift and dark, and then, in a moment or two, it seemed the cloud might be a flight of insects, a dark swarm, a plague of predators.	10
17	5	I knew the armament and tactics of such forces well, having been trained in them, and I had designed my forces, following the Tuchuk model, to deal with massive infantry and earth-shaking tharlarion charges, now adapted to flight, to deal with them.	10
17	14	To be sure, the major value of the lance, as I saw it, would be in fencing away enemy birds, or, in a low, swooping flight, attacking ground troops or tharlarion riders.	10
17	15	A tarnsman's usual close-to-the-ground flight was used to rope fleeing females, thence to be hauled helplessly to the saddle.	10
18	536	"They are trying to cover their flight by stampeding tharlarion!" said Pertinax.	10
20	55	If a general melee was in store, involving close fighting with several men, taking and giving ground, even a frightened, bounding kaiila might suffer, terrified in the rush of men, the shouts, the movement of blades, the fending of strokes, the thrust of spears, the slashing of glaives, the flight o...	10
22	352	"You could have had your throat cut, and been thrust from the saddle to the forests below, shortly after the flight had begun, as soon as it became clear there was no obvious pursuit.	10
22	364	Her situation, of course, had been unusual, for, after the first few moments of her flight, she would have been little more than a hampering burden to the fugitive, and yet he had not disposed of her.	10
25	132	Would they not now, scattered, defeated, haggard, desperate, frightened, half-starved, have sought flight? Too, they might well fear larls.	10
26	37	As the projected social and economic losses he may have sustained by her flight will presumably far outweigh her value on a sales platform one may appreciate his likely disappointment, if not actual disgruntlement, consequent upon her untoward and unacceptable behavior.	10
26	83	A physician's pellet was concealed in the tarn's meat, before flight, the coating dissolving in some twenty Ehn.	10
26	197	Tarns, as other birds, do not much care to flight in the rain.	10
26	198	Whereas the feathering tends to shed water, it is only a matter of time before the penetrant fluid soaks through the layerings and impedes the flight.	10
26	211	We took flight.	10
27	18	I did not doubt that Tajima had reported to Lord Nishida my flight of the preceding late evening, and my seeming encounter with an unidentified tarnsman, an encounter I had refused to explain to him.	10
38	31	Catapult stones, too, were brought aboard, in hundreds, and "heavy arrows," almost spears, which might be sped either singly, as from ballistae, or, from a springal, in showers, their flight propelled by a single fierce blow, that from a horizontal spring-driven board.	10
43	191	It seemed, given his rage and disappointment over the fruitlessness of our nocturnal interview, and the consequent collapse of his hope to secure a fugitive Talena, and thereby obtain both riches and a pardon, that he had had to reconcile himself to flight from known Gor and had accordingly sought b...	10
