Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
3	43	If I set the machine to, say, Language A and spoke Gorean into it, it would, after a fraction of a second, emit a succession of noises, which was the translation of my Gorean sentences into A.	10
3	33	I had begun to learn the Gorean alphabet.	9
3	36	Torm's English, incidentally, was spoken with a Gorean accent.	9
3	41	Whereas there was a main common tongue on Gor, with apparently several related dialects or sublanguages, some of the Gorean languages bore in sound little resemblance to anything I had heard before, at least as languages; they resembled rather the cries of birds and the growls of animals; they were ...	9
3	42	Although the machines could be set for various languages, one term of the translation symmetry, at least in the machines I saw, was always Gorean.	9
3	44	On the other hand, a new succession of noises in A would be received by the machine and emitted as a message in Gorean.	9
3	48	These translation machines are a marvel of miniaturization, each of them, about the size of a portable typewriter, being programmed for four non-Gorean languages.	9
3	58	I was given some prayers to the Priest-Kings to memorize, but they were in Old Gorean, a language cultivated by the Initiates but not spoken generally on the planet, and I never bothered to learn them.	9
3	109	Economically, the base of the Gorean life was the free peasant, which was perhaps the lowest but undoubtedly the most fundamental caste, and the staple crop was a yellow grain called Sa-Tarna, or Life-Daughter.	9
3	119	I had little time for speculation, however, as I was trying to bear up under an arduous schedule which seemed designed to force me to become a Gorean in a matter of weeks or perhaps see me die in the attempt.	9
3	127	But the children, of course, and their children eventually became simply Gorean.	9
3	129	Occasionally, however, an English word in Gorean, like "ax" or "ship," would delight me.	9
3	131	If I had been a skilled linguist, I undoubtedly would have discovered hundreds of parallels and affinities, grammatical and otherwise, between Gorean and various of the Earth languages.	9
3	143	There were only three statuses conceivable to the Gorean mind outside of the caste system: slave, outlaw, and Priest-King.	9
3	194	I would have supposed that armor, or chain mail perhaps, would have been a desirable addition to the accouterments of the Gorean warrior, but it had been forbidden by the Priest-Kings.	9
3	208	One pleasure of these final days was that I had begun to speak Gorean with the facility that comes from constant contact with and intensive study of a language.	9
3	209	I had begun to dream in Gorean and to understand easily the small talk of my teachers among themselves when they were speaking for one another and not for the ears of an outlander.	9
3	210	I had begun to think in Gorean as well, and after a time I was conscious of a deliberate mental shift involved in thinking in English.	9
3	212	I was fluent in Gorean.	9
3	213	Once, when struck by the Older Tarl, I had cursed in Gorean, and he had laughed.	9
3	257	In Gorean, these birds are sometimes spoken of as Brothers of the Wind.	9
3	269	The tarn is one of the two most common mounts of a Gorean warrior; the other is the high tharlarion, a species of saddle-lizard, used mostly by clans who have never mastered tarns.	9
4	53	I shouted to my tarn, in Gorean and in English.	9
4	110	I decided I disapproved of the Gorean devices for separating mortals from their beds as much as I loathed the alarm clocks and clock radios of my own world.	9
4	165	I removed my helmet, feeling proud as I heard the approval of the Council, both in voice and by Gorean applause, the quick, repeated striking of the left shoulder with the palm of the right hand.	9
5	50	This is a complex feast, celebrated by most Gorean cities, and the observances are numerous and intricate.	9
5	59	According to the plan of the Council of Ko-ro-ba, exactly at the time of the sacrifice, at the twentieth Gorean hour, or midnight, I was to drop to the roof of the highest cylinder in Ar, slay the daughter of the Ubar, and carry away her body and the Home Stone, discarding the former in the swamp co...	9
5	124	For a hundred tarns one might have the daughter of an Administrator, for a thousand perhaps even the daughter of the Ubar of Ar! A thousand tarns would make a formidable addition to the cavalry force of a Gorean warlord.	9
5	140	They are diurnal hunters and eat only what they catch themselves, usually one of the fleet Gorean antelopes or a wild bull, taken on the run and lifted in the monstrous talons to a high place, where it is torn to pieces and devoured.	9
6	48	I passed the outermost cylinders of Ar and found myself free in the Gorean night, streaking for Ko-ro-ba.	9
7	49	She might have been a bit taller than the average Gorean girl, but not much.	9
7	57	Naturally, I was not looking at things from precisely the Gorean point of view, but she would have no way of knowing that.	9
7	78	I was speechless for a moment, but then, remembering that harsh Gorean custom required me either to accept the submission or slay the captive, I took her wrists in my hands and said, "I accept your submission".	9
7	92	"I wish you well," said Nar, using a common Gorean phrase of farewell.	9
9	4	It is interesting, incidentally, that in the Gorean language, the word for stranger is the same as the word for enemy.	9
9	13	And, I supposed, a similar fate would await us in most Gorean cities.	9
9	15	Moreover, owing to the almost universal hatred borne to the city of Ar by most Gorean cities, it would be imperative in any case to keep the identity of my fair companion a secret.	9
9	119	It was a Gorean proverb, which seemed to be singularly inappropriate, coming from a hooded captive.	9
10	5	It is a part of the kinship of Gorean warriors regardless of what city it is to which they owe their allegiance.	9
11	40	It was a Gorean expression, a fatalistic maxim in which the events of the morrow were cast into the laps of the Priest-Kings.	9
12	145	Carved on it, crudely, was a single letter in an archaic Gorean script, that single letter which, in the old spelling, would have been the name of the city.	9
13	12	Shielded among the crags of the Voltai, invisible except from directly above, I saw four or five small cooking fires, such as might mark the camp of a mountain patrol or a small company of hunters, perhaps after the agile and bellicose Gorean mountain goat, the long-haired, spiral-horned verr, or, m...	9
13	100	It sat on the ground, wrapped in its yellow cerements—a mound of decay and desolation under the three Gorean moons.	9
15	47	Few Gorean garments are deformed by pockets.	9
15	75	Still I would not speak, not while he controlled a weapon; unfortunately, the first thing a Gorean warrior is likely to do to the stranger in his tent is kill him, the second is to find out who he is.	9
17	25	The tiny urt, a common rodent of Gorean cities, was bringing a silver tarn disk in the markets.	9
17	51	Pa-Kur, for his part, demanded and was granted the usual savage fees imposed by the Gorean conqueror.	9

Book 2. (76 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
3	34	His stature and burden proclaimed him a member of the Caste of Carriers of Wood, or Woodsmen, that Gorean caste which, with the Caste of Charcoal Makers, provides most of the common fuel for the Gorean cities.	10
8	6	On the whole they seemed to me a pale and depressed lot, but I was confident they could accomplish what they set their minds to, that they might succeed in tasks which the average Gorean male, with his impatience and lightness of heart, would simply abandon as distasteful or not worth the effort, fo...	10
2	10	Far to my left I saw a splendid field of Sa-Tarna, bending beautifully in the wind, that tall yellow grain that forms a staple in the Gorean diet.	9
2	25	Normally the Gorean shield is painted boldly and has infixed in it some device for identifying the bearer's city.	9
2	27	The spear was a typical Gorean spear, about seven feet in height, heavy, stout, with a tapering bronze head some eighteen inches in length.	9
2	30	Indeed, the Gorean spear is such that many warriors scorn lesser missile weapons, such as the longbow or crossbow, both of which are not uncommonly found on Gor.	9
2	38	For the Gorean, though he seldom speaks of these things, a city is more than brick and marble, cylinders and bridges.	9
2	40	The Gorean senses, or believes, that a city cannot be simply identified with its material elements, which undergo their transformations even as do the cells of a human body.	9
2	43	When a Gorean says, for example, that he is of Ar, or Ko-ro-ba, he is doing a great deal more than informing you of his place of residence.	9
2	46	Of course, as every Gorean knows, cities too are mortal, for cities can be destroyed as well as men.	9
2	80	This was contrary to the ways of Gor, for normally only the habiliments of outlaws and exiles, men without a city, lack the identifying devices of which the Gorean is so proud.	9
2	87	I found myself thinking in Gorean, as fluently as though I had not been gone for seven years.	9
3	3	A Gorean pasang is approximately.	9
3	5	The road, like most Gorean roads, was built like a wall in the earth and was intended to last a hundred generations.	9
3	6	The Gorean, having little idea of progress in our sense, takes great care in his building and workmanship.	9
3	14	The shadows of the pasang stones had grown long, and, judging by the angle of these shadows, for the stones are set in such a way as to serve also as sundials, it was past the fourteenth Gorean Ahn, or hour.	9
3	15	The Gorean day is divided into twenty Ahn, which are numbered consecutively.	9
3	19	The sun would soon be down, and the Gorean night is not without its dangers, particularly to a man on foot.	9
3	28	One such serpent was the huge, many-banded Gorean python, the hith.	9
3	47	"Tal," I said, lifting my right arm, palm inward, in a common Gorean greeting.	9
3	65	The sun regulates the schedule of most Gorean crafts and the woodsman would now be returning with his day's cutting.	9
3	140	At such a time a man may not be spoken to, for according to the Gorean way of thinking pity humiliates both he who pities and he who is pitied.	9
3	141	According to the Gorean way, one may love but one may not pity.	9
4	96	But how could it have known? How could it have known that I was Tarl of Ko-ro-ba, and that I was returning to my city? There is a Gorean proverb that a man who is returning to his city is not to be detained.	9
4	99	Then, soberly, though I acknowledged it as a superstition, I performed the Gorean ritual of looking into the blood.	9
5	3	Ko-ro-ba lay in the midst of green and rolling hills, some hundreds of feet above the level of the distant Tamber Gulf and that mysterious body of water beyond it, spoken of in Gorean simply as Thassa, the Sea.	9
5	6	An ancient poet, who incredibly enough to the Gorean mind had sung the glories of many of the cities of Gor, had spoken of Ko-ro-ba as the Towers of the Morning, and it is sometimes spoken of by that name.	9
5	7	The actual word Ko-ro-ba itself, more prosaically, is simply an expression in archaic Gorean referring to a village market.	9
6	3	Indeed, at least once in his life every Gorean is expected to make this journey.	9
6	9	Unlike the men of Earth, the Gorean has little sensitivity to race, but much to language and city.	9
6	26	Pikes on the walls of Gorean cities are often surmounted with the remains of unwelcome guests.	9
6	27	The Gorean is suspicious of the stranger, particularly in the vicinity of his native walls.	9
6	28	Indeed, in Gorean the same word is used for both stranger and enemy.	9
6	30	There were many things supposedly strange about Tharna, among them that she was reportedly ruled by a queen, or Tatrix, and, reasonably enough in the circumstances, that the position of women in that city, in contrast with common Gorean custom, was one of privilege and opportunity.	9
6	40	For that matter, though I did not seriously consider the possibility, being without a city, in effect an outlaw, I was entitled in the Gorean way of thinking to take the bird or its purchase price in any way I saw fit.	9
6	53	The harsh, exogamous institution of capture is woven into the very fabric of Gorean life.	9
6	68	Something of the nature of the institution of capture, and the Gorean's attitude toward it, becomes clear when it is understood that one of a young tarnsman's first missions is often the capture of a slave for his personal quarters.	9
6	80	He sits in the midst of his family, his closest well-wishers, his sword comrades, cross-legged on the floor in the Gorean fashion behind the long, low wooden table, laden with food, which stands at the head of the room.	9
6	111	Perhaps it should only be added that the Gorean master, though often strict, is seldom cruel.	9
6	118	Paradoxically, the Gorean, who seems to think so little of women in some respects, celebrates them extravagantly in others.	9
6	119	The Gorean is keenly susceptible to beauty; it gladdens his heart, and his songs and art are often paeans to its glory.	9
6	120	Gorean women, whether slave or free, know that their simple presence brings joy to men, and I cannot but think that this pleases them.	9
6	130	Occasionally the Gorean, like his brothers in our world, perhaps even more frequently, learns the meaning of love.	9
6	133	She was clad in Robes of Concealment, but their texture and color were a far cry from the glorious vanities often expressed in such garments, the silken purples, yellows and scarlets that the Gorean maiden delighted in; the robes were of coarse brown cloth, tattered and caked with dirt.	9
6	143	Then, for a Gorean woman, she did an incredible thing.	9
8	4	Curiously, I examined the crowds, all seemingly bent on their business, yet strangely tight lipped, subdued, much different from the normal, bustling throngs of a Gorean city.	9
8	26	Though it was apparently a market day, judging from the numerous stalls of vegetables, the racks of meat under awnings, the tubs of salted fish, the cloths and trinkets spread out on carpets before the seated, cross-legged merchants, there was none of the noisy clamor that customarily attends the Go...	9
8	33	Even the bargaining that went on, for there are no fixed prices in a Gorean market, seemed dreary, grim, lacking the zest and rivalry of other markets I had seen, the glorious expletives and superlative insults traded between buyer and seller with such incomparable style and gusto.	9
8	54	It was railed, as most Gorean bridges, high or low, are not.	9
8	57	This was perhaps because the cylinders were, on the whole, less lofty than those of other cities, and much broader, giving an impression of a set of squat, accumulated disks, so different from the lofty forests of sky-challenging towers and battlements distinguishing most Gorean cities.	9
8	71	"Tal," I said to the man, lifting my arm in the common Gorean greeting.	9
9	72	I thought of the yellow Gorean bread, baked in the shape of round, flat loaves, fresh and hot; my mouth watered for a tabuk steak or, perhaps, if I were lucky, a slice of roast tarsk, the formidable six-tusked wild boar of Gor's temperate forests.	9
9	123	"Do we not speak the Language?" I asked, referring to the beautiful mother tongue spoken in common by most of the Gorean cities.	9
10	34	It was a far cry from the broad-portaled central cylinders of many of the Gorean cities, through which a brace of golden-harnessed tharlarion might be driven with ease.	9
12	71	That would be a serious matter in Gorean eyes.	9
12	85	"A handful of bread for a song," was a common Gorean invitation extended to members of the caste, and it might occur on the lips of a peasant or a Ubar, and the poet took great pride that he would sing the same song in both the hut of the peasant and the halls of the Ubar, though it won for him only...	9
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...	9
14	182	"Tabuk!" The tabuk is the most common Gorean antelope, a small graceful animal, one-horned and yellow, that haunts the Ka-la-na thickets of the planet and occasionally ventures daintily into its meadows in search of berries and salt.	9
15	48	In the distance, perhaps some forty pasangs away, I saw a set of ridges, lofty and steep, rearing out of a broad, yellow meadow of talenders, a delicate, yellow-petaled flower, often woven into garlands by Gorean maidens.	9
15	49	In their own quarters, unveiled Gorean women, with their family or lovers, might fix talenders in their hair.	9
17	79	The working day is fifteen Gorean hours, or Ahn, which, allowing for the slight difference in the period of the planet's rotation, would be approximately eighteen Earth hours.	9
19	98	The Gorean phrase of farewell came silently to my lips.	9
20	23	I thrust my weapon into the empty scabbard, buckled the sword belt and, in the Gorean fashion, looped it over my left shoulder.	9
20	55	Lar-Torvis is a Gorean expression for the sun.	9
20	73	Had I possessed a Gorean compass, its needle would have pointed invariably to those mountains, as though to indicate the home of the Priest-Kings.	9
20	115	What had happened would have been regarded by the untrained Gorean mind, particularly that of a low-caste individual, as evidence of some supernatural force, as some magical effect of the will of the Priest-Kings.	9
21	47	The brand itself, in the case of girls, is a rather graceful mark, being the initial letter of the Gorean expression for slave in cursive script.	9
21	89	I have wondered upon occasion why brands are used on Gorean slaves.	9
21	270	Indeed, from the Gorean's point of view, one of the most fearful things about slavery is that one loses one's name.	9
22	174	Indeed, it is not altogether clear that it is preferable to the male-dominated ethos of most Gorean cities, which, too, surely has its unfortunate side.	9
23	8	She had shortened and trimmed one of the gracious Gorean garments, cutting it to the length of her knees and cutting away the sleeves so that they fell only to her elbows.	9
24	28	At last I sat cross-legged behind the low table and Lara, in the fashion of the Gorean woman, knelt beside me, resting on her heels.	9
25	11	Seemingly almost impassive, the golden-robed figure on the throne watched the two warriors moving backward and forward before her, one clad in the blue helmet and gray tunic of Tharna, the other in the universal scarlet of the Gorean Caste of Warriors.	9
25	154	Perhaps she might be purchased for the scullery in a Gorean cylinder and discover her life to be bounded by the tile walls and the steam and soap of the cleaning tubs.	9
26	26	Most of the silver masks however, when it was understood their battle had been lost and the laws of Tharna were irrevocably shattered, came of their own free will into the streets and submitted themselves in the traditional fashion of the captive Gorean female, kneeling, lowering the head, and lifti...	9
26	43	In the streets I hear the shouting, the song and clamor that is typically Gorean.	9

Book 3. (81 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
20	205	The Gorean man, as a man, cheerfully and dutifully attends to the rescuing of his female in distress, but as a Gorean, as a true Gorean, he feels, perhaps justifiably and being somewhat less or more romantic than ourselves, that he should have something more for his pains than her kiss of gratitude ...	10
9	9	Should she be tempted to forget this basic fact of Gorean life the slave ring set in the bottom of each Gorean couch is there to refresh her memory.	10
13	13	Gorean, I might note, is somewhat similar, and though I speak Gorean fluently, I find it very difficult to write, largely because of the even-numbered lines which, from my point of view, must be written backwards.	10
1	13	It was not far to the fair of En'Kara, one of the four great fairs held in the shadow of the Sardar during the Gorean year, and I soon walked slowly down the long central avenue between the tents, the booths and stalls, the pavilions and stockades of the fair, toward the high, brassbound timber gate...	9
1	35	I wished that I had had longer to visit the fair, for on another occasion at another time I should have sought eagerly to examine its wares, drink at its taverns, talk with its merchants and attend its contests, for these fairs are free ground for the many competitive, hostile Gorean cities, and pro...	9
1	56	Yet perhaps this is not so puzzling, for the Gorean cities will, within their own walls, enforce the Merchant Law when pertinent, even against their own citizens.	9
1	75	The reason for this is not simply that here is a fine market for such wares, since men from various cities pass freely to and fro at the fair, but that each Gorean, whether male or female, is expected to see the Sardar Mountains, in honor of the Priest-Kings, at least once in his life, prior to his ...	9
1	80	Thus one practical effect of the edict of the Priest-Kings is that each Gorean girl must, at least once in her life, leave her walls and take the very serious risk of becoming a slave girl, perhaps the prize of a pirate or outlaw.	9
1	83	The fact that warriors of one city sometimes wear the insignia of cities hostile to their own when they make these attacks further compounds the suspicions and internecine strife which afflicts the Gorean cities.	9
2	5	He could not read the manuscript, as it was written in English, a language as foreign to him as Gorean would be to most of you, but yet he would treasure the manuscript and guard it as though it were a most precious possession, for he was a scribe and it is the way of scribes to love the written wor...	9
2	55	It had been scratched out in the old Gorean script.	9
2	90	In the Voltai Range bands of hunters, usually from Ar, stalk the larl with the mighty Gorean spear.	9
2	97	But this seldom occurs, for the Gorean hunters fear cowardice more than the claws and fangs of larls.	9
2	104	Whether this is because Gorean hunting tradition favors the weak, protecting him with the stronger spears, or tradition scorns the weak, regarding him as the most expendable member of the party, I do not know.	9
2	106	I once asked a Gorean hunter whom I met in Ar why the larl was hunted at all.	9
3	43	I had not long to wait for only a few moments later, perhaps no more than ten Gorean Ihn, a section of stone rolled silently back and upward revealing a rock passage beyond of perhaps some eight feet square.	9
4	110	The Gorean night above, often black and beautiful with stars, now seemed to be approaching with swift stealth.	9
5	20	Beside her, on the floor, rested a laver of polished bronze, filled with water, a towel and a straight-bladed Gorean shaving knife.	9
5	29	I sat upright, cross-legged in the Gorean fashion, on the stone platform.	9
5	59	As I had expected about her white throat there was fastened, graceful and gleaming, the slender, close-fitting collar of a Gorean slave girl.	9
5	70	Instead I had read there only the Gorean numeral which would correspond to 708.	9
5	107	In Gorean notation, the numeral 708 was carved above the door.	9
5	200	The steel of a Gorean slave collar is not made to be removed at a girl's pleasure.	9
5	264	The Gorean day is divided into twenty Ahn.	9
6	11	First she boiled and simmered a kettle of Sullage, a common Gorean soup consisting of three standard ingredients and, as it is said, whatever else may be found, saving only the rocks of the field.	9
6	26	She had not prepared herself a portion but, after I had been served, had knelt silently to one side, back on her heels in the position of a Tower Slave, a slave to whom largely domestic duties would be allotted in the Gorean apartment cylinders.	9
6	33	The Gorean male, at ease, usually sits cross-legged and the female kneels, resting back on her heels.	9
6	45	In all these kneeling positions, incidentally, even that of the Pleasure Slave, the Gorean woman carries herself well; her back is straight and her chin is high.	9
6	78	Had I now become so much the Gorean warrior that I could disregard the feelings of a fellow creature, in particular those of a girl, who must be protected and cared for? Could it be that I had, as the codes of my caste recommended, not even considered her, but merely regarded her as a rightless anim...	9
7	31	The second girl was tall, fragile and willowy, with slender ankles and large, hurt eyes; she had dark, curling hair that fell about her shoulders and stood out against the white of her garment; she may have been of High Caste; without speaking to her it would be hard to tell; even then it might be d...	9
7	37	My Chamber Slave's accent had been pure High Caste Gorean though I could not place the city.	9
7	39	On the other hand these generalizations are imperfect, for Gorean speech is no less complex than that of any of the great natural language communities of the Earth nor are its speakers any the less diverse.	9
7	42	This sweet, fierce, liquid speech is the common bond that tends to hold together the Gorean world.	9
9	2	This was unusual, however, for normally the Gorean slave girl sleeps at the foot of her master's couch, often on a straw mat with only a thin, cottonlike blanket, woven from the soft fibers of the Rep Plant, to protect her from the cold.	9
9	4	The stones of the floor are hard and the Gorean nights are cold and it is a rare girl who, when unchained in the morning, does not seek more dutifully to serve her master.	9
9	6	According to the Gorean way of looking at things a taste of the slave ring is thought to be occasionally beneficial to all women, even the exalted Free Companions.	9
9	8	It is the Gorean way of reminding her, should she need to be reminded, that she, too, is a woman, and thus to be dominated, to be subject to men.	9
9	12	The Gorean woman, for reasons that are not altogether clear to me, considering the culture, rejoices in being a woman.	9
9	14	On the whole I find her more joyful than many of her Earth-inhabiting sisters who, theoretically at least, enjoy a more lofty status, although it is surely true that on my old world I have met several women with something of the Gorean zest for acknowledging the radiant truth of their sex, the gifts...	9
9	15	Yet with all due respect and regard for the most astounding and marvelous sex, I suspect that, perhaps partly because of my Gorean training, it is true that a touch of the slave ring is occasionally beneficial.	9
9	120	I knew that Gorean caste lines, though largely following birth, were not inflexible, and that a man who did not care for his caste might be allowed to change caste, if approved by the High Council of his city, an approval usually contingent on his qualifications for the work of another caste and the...	9
9	245	It spoke in Gorean.	9
9	261	Had I the time, had I not more urgent business, I might have punished her myself, teaching her without mercy what could be the meaning of her collar, using her as objectively and ruthlessly as she deserved, brutally administering the discipline of a Gorean master to a treacherous slave girl.	9
10	3	The slightly acrid odor I had noticed tends to be a common property of all such signals, much as there is a common property to the sound of a human voice, whether it be that of an Englishman, a Bushman, a Chinese or a Gorean, which sets it apart from, say, the growling of animals, the hiss of snakes...	9
12	101	The expressions 'Al-Ka' and 'Ba-Ta' are the first two letters of the Gorean alphabet.	9
12	105	There were twenty-eight characters in the Gorean alphabet.	9
12	149	"By the Priest-Kings!" I roared, the rather blasphemous Gorean oath slipping out, somehow incongruously considering my present location and predicament.	9
14	84	I was given a translator by Misk and I would utter Gorean expressions into it and then wait for the translation into the language of the Priest-Kings, and in this way, after a time, I became capable of recognizing numerous meaningful odors.	9
17	21	I made no move but I was startled to hear the Gorean expression for 'friend' emanate from Sarm's translator.	9
17	28	I did not, however, betray my surprise and acted as though I did not know that the expression was a new addition to the Gorean lexicon on his tapes.	9
17	130	The man from the Caste of Builders then sat cross-legged on the ground and took from the pouch slung at his waist a tiny, cylindrical Gorean fire-maker, a small silverish tube commonly used for igniting cooking fires.	9
18	90	"The analogy, of course," said Sarm, "is incorrect, for there is no Home Stone as such in the Nest of Priest-Kings, the Home Stone being a barbarous artifact generally common to the cities and homes of Gorean humans".	9
19	17	From the high cabinet Sarm withdrew my sword belt, my scabbard, and the short, sharp blade of Gorean steel which I had earlier yielded at the request of Misk.	9
20	101	Bending to a panel in the disk he took out three objects: the long, classic, white garment of a Chamber Slave, which was contained in a wrapper of blue plastic; a slave collar; and an object of which I did not immediately grasp the import, a small, flat boxlike object which bore the upraised figure ...	9
20	128	Accordingly the Gorean master is often extremely concerned that the fit of the graceful band will be neither too tight nor too loose.	9
20	193	And yet it was not a strange thing, particularly not on Gor, where bravery is highly esteemed and to save a female's life is in effect to win title to it, for it is the option of a Gorean male to enslave any woman whose life he has saved, a right which is seldom denied even by the citizens of the gi...	9
20	195	There is, of course, a natural tendency in the rescued female to feel and demonstrate great gratitude to the man who has saved her life, and the Gorean custom is perhaps no more than an institutionalization of this customary response.	9
20	203	On the other hand the Gorean attitude is that she would be dead were it not for his brave action and thus it is his right, now that he has won her life, to make her live it for him precisely as he pleases, which is usually, it must unfortunately be noted, as his slave girl, for the privileges of a F...	9
20	204	Also of course a Free Companionship might be refused, in all Gorean right, by the girl, and thus a warrior can hardly be blamed, after risking his life, for not wanting to risk losing the precious prize which he has just, at great peril to himself, succeeded in winning.	9
21	39	The words were in archaic Gorean which I find very difficult to understand.	9
22	165	The primary advantage I supposed was that it allowed the Gorean warrior to work close to his man.	9
22	185	"I wish you well," I said, using the traditional Gorean farewell.	9
25	18	I smiled to myself, for I could always tell her, and truthfully, that having saved her life she was now mine by Gorean law, so brief had been her freedom, and that it was up to me to determine the extent and nature of her clothing, and, indeed, whether or not she would be allowed clothing at all.	9
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.	9
25	118	In another case, somnolent and swollen, I saw a rare golden hith, a Gorean python whose body, even when unfed, would be difficult for a full-grown man to encircle with his arms.	9
25	121	A Gorean saying has it that they are brothers of the wind, and how could one expect such a creature to survive confinement? Like its brother the wind when the tarn is not free it has no choice but to die.	9
25	140	I knew that she was faithless, vicious, and treacherous, and because of her glorious beauty a thousand times more dangerous than a foe armed only with the reed of a Gorean spear and the innocence of sword steel.	9
26	186	My voice was the voice of her Gorean master.	9
26	258	I wondered at the things she said to me for they seemed strange, perhaps more so to my ears than they would have to one bred and raised from infancy as a Gorean, one as much accustomed to the submission of women as to the tides of gleaming Thassa or the phases of the three moons.	9
26	278	Gorean thinking on this matter tends to be expressed by the saying that a slave girl grows bold if her lips are allowed to touch the name of her master.	9
26	279	On the other hand, I, like many Gorean masters, provided the girl was not testing or challenging me, and provided that free women, or others, were not present whom I had no wish to offend or upset, preferred as a matter of fact to have my own name on the girl's lips, for I think, with acknowledged v...	9
27	3	It was almost eight Gorean Ahn, or about ten Earth hours, since I had separated from Misk and Mul-Al-Ka and Mul-Ba-Ta early this morning.	9
27	258	And when the swift living blade of Sarm was still a full yard from my throat it met the lightning steel of a Gorean blade that had once been carried at the siege of Ar, that had met and withstood and conquered the steel of Pa-Kur, Gor's Master Assassin, until that time said to be the most skilled sw...	9
28	174	Somewhat to their embarrassment but for their own safety the Priest-Kings who had joined Misk wore painted on the back and front of their thorax the block letter which in the Gorean alphabet would be the first letter of Misk's name.	9
28	222	There were no propellers or jets or rockets and I find it difficult to understand or explain the drive save that it used the forces of gravity against themselves in such a way that the amount, if one may use so inept an expression, of gravitational Ur, which is the Gorean expression for the gravitat...	9
29	69	For half a Gorean Ahn we hung there, none of us moving.	9
29	70	Then for a full Gorean Ahn did we remain there, motionless above the complex.	9
31	131	I knew that somehow I must try to stop Sarm but what could I do? He was armed with a silver tube and I with nothing but the steel of a Gorean sword.	9
33	64	Then he began to mumble prayers very quickly in archaic Gorean, a language in which the Initiates converse among themselves and conduct their various ceremonies.	9
33	93	The words for "stranger" and "enemy" in Gorean, incidentally, are the same word.	9
34	65	"Here," said my father, reaching into a leather sack that he wore slung about his shoulder, "is Ko-ro-ba," and he drew forth the small, flat Home Stone of the City, in which Gorean custom invests the meaning, the significance, the reality of a city itself.	9

1	27	There is also a system of latitude and longitude figured on the basis of the Gorean day, calculated in Ahn, twenty of which constitute a Gorean day, and Ehn and Ihn, which are subdivisions of the Ahn, or Gorean hour.	10
1	26	Briefly, for those it might interest, all directions on the planet are calculated from the Sardar Mountains, which for the purposes of calculating direction play a role analogous to our north pole; the two main directions, so to speak, in the Gorean way of thinking are Ta-Sardar-Var and Ta-Sardar-Ki...	10
13	202	He could never, like most native speakers of Gorean, properly handle the "w" sound, for it is extremely rare in Gorean, existing only in certain unusual words of obviously barbarian origin.	10
21	188	It was shortly before the tenth Gorean hour, or noon of the Gorean day.	10
22	66	Incidentally, Gorean coins are not made to be stacked and accordingly, because of the possible depth of the relief and the consequent liberties accorded to the artist, the Gorean coin is almost always more beautiful than the machine-milled, flat, uniform coins of Earth.	10
1	14	"Run, you fool! Run for the gates of Turia!" Turia the high-walled, the nine-gated, was the Gorean city lying in the midst of the huge prairies claimed by the Wagon Peoples.	9
1	25	* * For purposes of convenience I am recounting directions in English terms, thinking it would be considerably difficult for the reader to follow references to the Gorean compass.	9
1	28	Ta-Sardar-Var is a direction which appears on all Gorean maps; Ta-Sardar-Ki-Var, of course, never appears on a map, since it would be any direction which is not Ta-Sardar-Var.	9
1	29	Accordingly, the main divisions of the map are Ta-Sardar-Var, and the other seven; taking the Sardar as our "north pole" the other directions, clockwise as Earth clocks move (Gorean clock hands move in the opposite direction) would be, first, Ta-Sardar-Var, then, in order, Ror, Rim, Tun, Vask (somet...	9
1	42	Overhead a wild Gorean kite, shrilling, beat its lonely way from this place, seemingly no different from a thousand other places on these broad grasslands of the south.	9
1	66	I hung my helmet over my left shoulder with the sheathed short sword; on my left arm I bore my shield; in my right hand I carried the Gorean war spear.	9
2	1	I Make the Acquaintance of the Wagon Peoples As I walked I asked myself why I did so—why I, Tarl Cabot—once of Earth, later a warrior of the Gorean city of Ko-ro-ba, the Towers of the Morning, had come here.	9
2	41	The words for stranger and enemy in Gorean are the same.	9
2	47	I knew they spoke a dialect of Gorean, and I hoped I would be able to understand them.	9
2	51	Some of these men have achieved fortune and fame in various Gorean cities, for their services to Initiates and Ubars, and others with an interest in the arts of detection and persuasion.	9
2	106	* *The pasang, a common unit of Gorean land measurement, is approximately seven-tenths of a mile.	9
2	136	"Tal!" I called, lifting my hand, palm inward, in Gorean greeting.	9
2	143	"Do you speak Gorean?" I called.	9
2	153	The man behind me called out, speaking Gorean with a harsh accent.	9
3	1	The Spear Gambling One, the Tuchuk, I might have slain with a cast of the heavy Gorean war spear; the others would have had free play with their lances.	9
4	2	The slender, flexible wand of the lance tore at the seven-layered Gorean shield, striking a spark from the brass rim binding it, as the man had lunged at my head.	9
4	16	I grasped the Gorean spear.	9
4	28	Gorean warriors hunt men and larls with this weapon.	9
4	42	Thrown high the Gorean bola can lock a man's arms to his sides; thrown to the throat it can strangle him; thrown to the head, a difficult cast, the whipping weights can crush a skull.	9
4	69	I went to him and set the point of the Gorean short sword at his heart.	9
5	25	The Turian collar lies loosely on the girl, a round ring; it fits so loosely that, when grasped in a man's fist, the girl can turn within it; the common Gorean collar, on the other hand, is a flat, snugly fitting steel band.	9
5	40	The Gorean master, commonly, likes a spirited girl, one who fights the whip and collar, resisting until at last, perhaps months later, she is overwhelmed and must acknowledge herself his, utterly and without reservation, then fearing only that he might tire of her and sell her to another.	9
5	57	The two axles of the wagon are also of tem-wood, which perhaps, because of its flexibility, joined with the general flatness of the southern Gorean plains, permits the width of the wagon.	9
6	14	I was astonished, for this girl was dressed not as a Gorean, not as a girl of any of the cities of the Counter-Earth, not as a peasant of the Sa-Tarna fields or the vineyards where the Ta grapes are raised, not even as a girl of the fierce Wagon Peoples.	9
6	42	On the Gorean block she would bring a good price.	9
6	54	In Gorean, one of the riders said, "She is a barbarian.	9
6	55	She cannot speak Gorean".	9
6	71	Speaking in Gorean, I said to him, "I can understand her".	9
6	88	There were interested murmurs from the crowd when, to the Gorean's thinking, the unusual garments underlying her yellow shift were revealed.	9
6	105	"Tell her," said Kamchak, "that she must learn Gorean quickly—that she will be slain if she does not".	9
6	109	"I don't know where I am—or how I got here—I want to get back to America—I'm an American citizen—my home is in New York City—take me back there—I will pay you—anything!" "Tell her," repeated Kamchak, "that she must learn Gorean quickly—and that...	9
6	166	"She must learn Gorean," said Kamchak to me.	9
6	168	"You must learn Gorean," I told the girl.	9
6	175	Elizabeth Cardwell had learned her first Gorean.	9
7	13	There were also, among the other goods, two girls, blonde and blue-eyed, unclothed, chained; they had perhaps been a gift to Kutaituchik; or had been the daughters of enemies; they might have been from any city; both were beautiful; one was sitting with her knees tucked under her chin, her hands cla...	9
7	61	"It is the only Gorean she knows," Kamchak informed him.	9
7	165	It was in Gorean script, moving from left to right, and then from right to left on alternate lines.	9
7	180	"You read Gorean well," he said.	9
7	192	I prepared to fight for my life, selling it as dearly as possible on the dais of Kutaituchik, called Ubar of the Tuchuks, for what Gorean would dare reject the command of Priest-Kings? I stood up, unsheathing my sword.	9
8	93	He was, of course, aware that no girl, Gorean or otherwise, could be expected to take lightly a sudden reduction to an abject and complete slavery, particularly considering what that would mean among the wagons.	9
8	96	She did not, of course, understand Gorean, but his intention and his impatience were sufficiently clear to preclude the necessity of a translation.	9
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...	9
8	133	The Gorean girl is, even if free, accustomed to slavery; she will perhaps own one or more slaves herself; she knows that she is weaker than men and what this can mean; she knows that cities fall and caravans are plundered; she knows she might even, by a sufficiently bold warrior, be captured in her ...	9
8	134	Moreover, even if she is never enslaved, she is familiar with the duties of slaves and what is expected of them; if she should be enslaved she will know, on the whole, what is expected of her, what is permitted her and what is not; moreover, the Gorean girl is literally educated, fortunately or not,...	9
8	215	The bow, of course, small, for use from the saddle, lacks the range and power of the Gorean longbow or crossbow; still, at close range, with considerable force, firing rapidly, arrow after arrow, it is a fearsome weapon.	9
8	242	I had determined, of course, to my satisfaction, having spoken with him once, that the boy, or young man, was indeed Gorean; his people and their people before them and as far back as anyone knew had been, as it is said, of the Wagons.	9
8	263	Indeed, it had been from that warrior that Kamchak had rented the girls who had dragged Elizabeth Cardwell about the wagons, teaching her Gorean with thong and switch.	9
9	18	There would be something, of course, to be said for such a claim, for the merchants are often indeed in their way, brave, shrewd, skilled men, making long journeys, venturing their goods, risking caravans, negotiating commercial agreements, among themselves developing and enforcing a body of Merchan...	9
9	82	I was pleased to see again, though often done in silk, the splendid varieties of caste colors of the typical Gorean city, to hear once more the cries of peddlers that I knew so well, the cake sellers, the hawkers of vegetables, the wine vendor bending under a double verrskin of his vintage.	9
9	122	The free women, shamelessly to the mind of the rather prudish Kamchak, lowered their veils and threw back the hoods of their Robes of Concealment, enjoying the feast, eating with much the same Gorean gusto as their men.	9
9	137	In passing one might note that there is a rich, provocative variety of garments designed by Gorean masters to instruct, excite and display their female slaves.	9
9	233	Aphris of Turia, pleased with herself, assumed her place between the merchant and Kamchak, kneeling back on her heels in the position of the Gorean free woman.	9
9	234	Her back was very straight and her head high, in the Gorean fashion.	9
9	479	It then occurred to me, suddenly, that, following Gorean civic law, the properties and titles, assets and goods of a given individual who is reduced to slavery are automatically regarded as having been transferred to the nearest male relative—or nearest relative if no adult male relative is a...	9
10	216	The morning sun flashed from their helmets, their long tharlarion lances, the metal embossments on their oval shields, unlike the rounded shields of most Gorean cities.	9
10	449	In all my time among the wagons I had not seen one of the Gorean short swords, so fierce and swift and common a weapon among those of the cities.	9
10	467	The urt is a loathsome, horned Gorean rodent; some are quite large, the size of wolves or ponies, but most are very small, tiny enough to be held in the palm of one hand.	9
10	506	Two swords were brought, Gorean short swords, forged in Ar.	9
10	536	But when I stepped away he was now holding it like a Gorean angle saw.	9
11	65	A slave, not being a person in the eyes of Gorean law, cannot possess a name in his own right, any more than an animal.	9
11	66	Indeed, in the eyes of Gorean law, unfortunately, slaves are animals, utterly and unqualifiedly at the disposition of their masters, to do with as he pleases.	9
12	219	Among Gorean musicians, incidentally, czehar players have the most prestige; there was only one in this group, I noted, and he was their leader; next follow the flutists and then the players of the kalika; the players of the drums come next; and the farthest fellow down the list is the man who keeps...	9
12	239	When the girl kneels, in any of the traditional positions of the Gorean woman, either slave or free, it is not uncomfortable.	9
12	484	She was of Earth and knew not the flames which her words might have evoked in the breast of a Gorean warrior—nor did she understand herself truly nor the relation in which she, slave girl, stood to a free man to whom she had been for the hour given—I could not tell her that another war...	9
12	502	Moreover, not every man wants to own an untrained barbarian slave, for such, even if given to them, must be fed—and, this spring, as I could tell from walking about the camp, there was no shortage of girls, freshly collared and branded perhaps, untrained perhaps, but yet, and most importantly...	9
13	11	They would have torn the girl to pieces on the prairie in the light of the three Gorean moons.	9
13	206	I had, incidentally, after the first few days, refused to speak English to her, thinking it would be more desirable for her to learn to speak, think and hear in Gorean as rapidly as possible.	9
14	29	In no more than a few Gorean Ihn we had come to the interior edge of the herds.	9
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.	9
16	95	That was midnight of the Gorean day.	9
16	318	Perhaps they had now struck more openly and quickly—employing Gorean tarnsmen—fearing that I might myself seize the egg first and return it to the Sardar.	9
17	10	Around the edge of the pool there were eight large columns, fashioned and painted as though the trunks of trees, one standing at each of the eight cardinal points of the Gorean compass; from these, stretching often across the pool, were vines, so many that the ceiling could be seen only as a patchwo...	9
17	35	It might be gilled, like Gorean sharks, probably descendants of Earth sharks placed experimentally in Thassa millennia ago by Priest-Kings, or it might have the gurdo, the layered, ventral membrane, shielded by porous plating, of several of the marine predators perhaps native to Gor, perhaps brought...	9
17	67	If it were a school of fifteen-inch Gorean pike, for example, I might kill dozens and yet die half eaten within minutes.	9
19	36	Besides several of the flower trees there were also some Ka-la-na trees, or the yellow wine trees of Gor; there was one large-trunked, reddish Tur tree, about which curled its assemblage of Tur-Pah, a vinelike tree parasite with curled, scarlet, ovate leaves, rather lovely to look upon; the leaves o...	9
19	66	Harold left the walk and stepped carefully to avoid trampling a patch of talenders, a delicate yellow flower, often associated in the Gorean mind with love and beauty.	9
19	177	The Gorean Ihn, or second, is only a little longer than the Earth second.	9
20	8	It is difficult to fire from the outside, and the roundness—like the roundness of Gorean towers in general—tends to increase the amount of oblique hits from catapult stones.	9
20	35	Indeed, it provided the only access, save on tarnback, for there are no doors at ground level in a Gorean keep.	9
20	151	Then I hauled on the one-strap and seeing Harold's bird wheeling about in circles against one of the Gorean moons sped to his side.	9
21	55	It is a nerve-wracking business, the negotiation of an enemy city, knowing that discovery might bring torture or sudden death, at best perhaps an impalement by sundown on the city's walls, a warning to any other who might be similarly tempted to transgress the hospitality of a Gorean city.	9
21	90	I counted five Gorean Ehn, or minutes.	9
21	114	At one time, I gathered from Dina, her father's shop had been the most famed of the baking shops of Turia, most of which are owned by Saphrar of Turia, whose interests range widely, though operated naturally, as Gorean custom would require, by members of the Caste of Bakers.	9
21	163	In thinking of her I realized how foolish are certain of the Gorean prejudices with respect to the matter of caste.	9
22	67	Some Gorean coins are drilled, incidentally, to allow stringing, the coins of Tharna, for example; Turian coins, and most others, are not.	9
23	101	The battle was joined at the seventh Gorean hour and, as planned, as soon as the Paravaci center was committed, the bulk of our forces wheeled and retreated among the wagons, the rest of our forces then turning and pushing the wagons together.	9
24	48	The clearest exception to this, of course, lay in the case of the more beautiful of the city's women, who were treated by Gorean custom, as portions of the booty.	9
24	227	"Very well," said he, grinning, and lifted his right hand in Gorean salute.	9
25	10	Had I not heard a rustle of chain? Did she think to conceal her bonds, her condition? Surely any Gorean, despite the sheet, would have instantly supposed her to be what she indeed was, a slave, tethered with obdurate metal.	9
25	35	She could speak Gorean but she could not read it.	9
25	50	There was also an inscription in Gorean on the collar, a simple one: I am the girl of Tarl Cabot.	9
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...	9
25	294	She was, I forcibly reminded myself, not a Gorean girl, but one of Earth.	9
25	300	Indeed, even the Gorean woman, outside her city, without a defender, should she escape the dangers of the wild, is not likely long to elude the iron, the chain and collar.	9
25	331	Then she began to comb her long dark hair, kneeling very straight as would a Gorean girl.	9
25	378	"There is no freer nor higher nor more beautiful woman," I said, "than the Gorean Free Companion.	9
25	399	"The Gorean myths have it," I said, "that the woman longs for this identity—to be herself in being his—if only for the moment of paradox in which she is slave and thus freed".	9
25	460	And then, as I knew she would, she suddenly knelt before me, in fury, head down, arms extended, wrists crossed, submitting as a Gorean female.	9
25	499	"I am Vella," she said, "a Gorean slave".	9
25	623	But it seemed to me there was little in the eyes or stance of Miss Cardwell which suggested the plausibility of the Gorean interpretation.	9
25	678	She would have behaved much differently with Kamchak, a Gorean.	9
25	844	She did not move, and then suddenly I felt the cut of her nails deep in my arms, and though her lips were open, her teeth were clenched, her head was back, the eyes closed, her hair tangled under her and over her body, and then her eyes seemed surprised, startled, and her shoulders lifted a bit from...	9
25	907	"She is not a secretary," said Elizabeth, "she is only a little Gorean slave".	9
26	74	They filed before us in the street below, each under the contemptuous eyes of the warriors of the Wagon Peoples, each in turn going to a long table whereon were placed many pairs of scales, and each at that table was weighed out four Gorean stone of gold, about six Earth pounds, which he put in his ...	9
26	76	Four Gorean stone of gold is a fortune.	9
27	112	"A Gorean girl," she said, "need not pretend to be plain when she knows that she is beautiful".	9
27	133	It was hard for me to believe that this marvelous, collared beauty in my arms was once a simple girl of Earth, that this astounding wench, Tuchuk and Gorean, was the same as Miss Elizabeth Cardwell, the young secretary who so long before had found herself inexplicably thrust into intrigues and circu...	9

1	4	It is an old word in Gorean, Ko-ro-ba, meaning a village market, though few considered its archaic meaning.	9
1	10	In the early part of the eighth Gorean hour the distant white walls took the sun and blazed like light in the green hills.	9
2	188	And since Kazrak was originally, perhaps surprisingly, of Port Kar, a city not on particularly good terms with Ar, or any other Gorean city, there was the hint of sedition in such matters.	9

3	70	I also think the Gorean success in combating aging may be partly due to the severe limitations, in many matters, on the technology of the human beings on the planet.	9
3	84	The most startling thing to me about the man was not that he was older than one commonly sees in the streets of a Gorean city, but rather that he was clearly blind.	9

4	31	It was not yet the seventh Gorean hour but already the slaver was up, conducting his affairs, when I had been ushered into his presence.	9
4	229	Further, such training, though spread over a period of months, normally consumes only about five of the Gorean hours daily, that the girls have time to rest, to absorb their lessons, to recreate themselves in the pools and gardens of the house.	9

5	28	Much more dangerous is the poison lock, because the opening through which the tiny pins, usually coated with a paste formed from kanda root, can emerge can be extremely small, almost invisible to the eye, easy to overlook in the crevices and grillwork of the commonly heavy, ornate Gorean lock.	9
