Book 1. (38 results) Tarnsman of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
4 81 For themselves, particularly among the Lower Castes, they often have a real name and what is called a use-name.
Details

4 83 On the level of the First Knowledge, it is maintained that knowing the real name gives one a power over a person, a capacity to use that name in spells and insidious magical practices.
Details
10
4 85 The second name, which would correspond to the use-name on Gor, is common property, a public sound not sacred or to be protected.

7 95 "I do not ask your name, Warrior," he said, "nor will I repeat the name of your city before the Submitted One, but know that you and your city are honored by the Spider People".

8 140 "Is that a use-name?" "No," I said, "it is my true name".

10
1 1 A Handful of Earth My name is Tarl Cabot.
Details
10
1 2 The name is supposed to have been shortened in the fifteenth century from the Italian surname Caboto.
Details
10
1 7 You may remark my first name, and I assure you that it gave me quite as much trouble as it might you, particularly during my early school years, when it occasioned almost as many contests of physical skill as my red hair.
Details
10
1 8 Let us say simply that it is not a common name, not common on this world of ours.
Details
10
1 13 Surprisingly enough, I managed to gain entrance to the University of Oxford, but I shall not choose to embarrass my college by entering its somewhat too revered name in this narrative.
Details
10
1 56 I read, in a rather archaic English script inscribed on the envelope, two words—my name, Tarl Cabot.
Details
10
1 59 I called his name, laughing.
Details
10
1 121 Perhaps only one man could open that envelope—he whose print fitted the strange lock, he whose name was Tarl Cabot.
Details
10
1 126 The lettering was in the same script as my name on the outside of the envelope.
Details
10
2 113 "Gor," he said, "is the name of this world.
Details
10
2 155 As he spoke, my father often referred to the planet Gor as the Counter-Earth, taking the name from the writings of the Pythagoreans who had first speculated on the existence of such a body.
Details
10
3 162 This was my introduction to my instructor in arms, whose name was also Tarl.
Details
10
4 82 Often only the closest relatives know the real name.
Details
10
4 84 Perhaps something of the same sort lingers even on our native Earth, where the first name of a person is reserved for use by those who know him intimately and presumably wish him no harm.
Details
10
4 86 At the level of the Second Knowledge, of course, the High Castes, at least in general, recognize the baseless superstition of the Lower Castes and use their own names comparatively freely, usually followed by the name of their city.
Details
10
4 87 For example, I would have given my name as Tarl Cabot of Ko-ro-ba, or, more simply, as Tarl of Ko-ro-ba.
Details
10
4 154 Then, beginning with the lowest tier, each member of the Council spoke in succession, giving his name and pronouncing that he, too, accepted the word of the blond swordsman.
Details
10
5 33 I knew little more about her than her name, Sana, and the fact that she was a slave from the City of Thentis.
Details
10
5 34 The Older Tarl had told me that Thentis is a city famed for its tarn flocks and remote in the mountains from which the city takes its name.
Details
10
5 58 I knew nothing about her, except that her name was Talena, that she was rumored to be one of the beauties of Ar, and that I was supposed to kill her.
Details
10
5 121 I realized that she had spoken to me as a free woman, using my name.
Details
10
6 87 It said, "My name is Nar, and I am of the Spider People".
Details
10
8 138 "May I ask your name?" she asked tactfully.
Details
10
8 141 "Talena is my true name," she said.
Details
10
8 142 Of High Caste, it was natural that she was above the common superstitions connected with revealing one's name.
Details
10
9 54 The name of the disease itself, Dar-Kosis, is almost never mentioned.
Details
10
9 107 "You need not know her name or lineage," I said.
Details
10
10 68 "If your father is a merchant, tell me his name," he said.
Details
10
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.
Details
10
13 77 "What is your name?" I asked.
Details
10
16 111 "Give me your name," I demanded, "so that I may report to Pa-Kur who it is that denies his message to his future Ubara".
Details
10
16 142 I suppressed an impulse to call her name; I restrained an impulse to leap to the bars, to seize her and to crush her to them and to my lips.
Details
10
18 173 The thought flamed through me in the violent delirium of battle that in those moments I was many men, an army, that no man could stand against me, that it was not my blade or my heart they faced but something I myself only dimly sensed, something intangible but irresistible, an avalanche, a storm, a...

Book 2. (38 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
3 91 I wondered if it were a use-name, or his real name.
Details
10
3 92 Members of low castes often call themselves by a use-name, reserving the real name for intimates and friends, to protect it against capture by a sorcerer or worker of spells who might use it to do them harm.
Details
10
19 77 "Speak, Tarl of Ko-ro-ba," said Kron, using the name of my city as easily as he might have said the name of any other.
Details
10
21 271 That name which he has had from birth, by which he has called himself and knows himself, that name which is so much a part of his own conception of himself, of his own true and most intimate identity, is suddenly gone.
Details
10
1 183 The envelope bore my name and address.
Details
10
2 33 Tarl is a common name on Gor.
Details
10
3 93 Somehow I sensed that Zosk was his real name.
Details
10
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.
Details
10
6 74 The young man approaches her, bearing a slave collar, its engraving proclaiming his name and city.
Details
10
6 175 "What is your name?" I asked.
Details
10
7 65 "Outlaw," said he, "what is your name?" "Tarl," I responded.
Details
10
7 78 "Your name is the most hated on Gor," she said, her voice flat, her eyes not meeting mine.
Details
10
8 76 "Who are you, Stranger?" "I am a man of no city," I said, "whose name is Tarl".
Details
10
8 77 I wanted no more of the havoc I had wreaked earlier by the mere mention of the name of Ko-ro-ba.
Details
10
9 165 "My name is stitched into the leather of the sack".
Details
10
9 168 It was also the name of a species of tiny, brightly orange reptile, the most venomous on Gor.
Details
10
9 174 "In whose name?" I demanded.
Details
10
9 175 "In the name of Lara," said the man, "Tatrix of Tharna".
Details
10
11 55 "Does the law recognize beasts?" asked the woman whose name was Dorna the Proud.
Details
10
11 166 "I do not know her name," said Ost.
Details
10
12 62 "Tell me about him," I said, "but first tell me your name".
Details
10
12 64 "What is your name?" "Tarl," I said.
Details
10
14 56 I seized the ankle ring, and noted as I had expected that the name of its city had been filed away.
Details
10
14 58 The slave shook in his yoke at the mention of this name.
Details
10
15 41 Yet I knew there would be tarnsmen in Tharna, and good ones, for her name was respected among the martial, hostile cities of Gor.
Details
10
18 22 "What is his name?" I asked.
Details
10
19 61 They shouted my name, and, without fear, that of my city.
Details
10
21 266 "What is your name?" I asked the girl.
Details
10
21 267 "A slave has no name," she said.
Details
10
21 269 On Gor a slave, not being legally a person, does not have a name in his own right, just as, on earth, our domestic animals, not being persons before the law, do not have names.
Details
10
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.
Details
10
21 275 "I am content," I said, "to call you by the name you bore when you were free".
Details
10
21 277 "What was your name when you were free?" I asked.
Details
10
24 167 I ask this in the name of Lara, and of the city of Tharna and its people.
Details
10
24 168 And I ask it in the name of the codes of your own caste, for your swords are pledged to the true Tatrix—Lara—not Dorna the Proud!" I could sense the reaction of the men behind the rampart.
Details
10
24 207 "Take up your sword," she said, "in the name of Lara, true Tatrix of Tharna".
Details
10
24 210 "I take up my sword," he said, "in the name of Lara, who is true Tatrix of Tharna".

3 67 Who was waiting? But of course he would know my name, and those who would be waiting would be the Priest-Kings of Gor.
Details
10
3 74 "My name is Parp," he said, standing back in the passage.
Details
10
3 79 It seemed a strange name for a Priest-King.
Details
10
3 84 "It's not much of a name for a Priest-King, but then I'm not much of a Priest-King".
Details
10
5 69 But on her collar there was not written the name of her owner and his city, as I would have expected.
Details
10
8 94 "I am Tarl Cabot of Ko-ro-ba," I said to her, telling her my name and city for the first time.
Details
10
8 95 "My city is Treve," she said, for the first time telling me the name of her city.

9 141 "A slender, dark-haired girl," I said, "whose name was Talena".

10 125 "What is your name?" I asked.

10
14 85 The first odor I came to recognize was Misk's name, and it was delightful to then discover, as I became more practiced and sensitive, that the odor was the same as his own.
Details
10
14 87 There was not much save my name and city, that I was a Matok under the supervision of Misk, that I had no record-scars and that I might be dangerous.
Details
10
16 68 "His name was Nar," I said, "and he would rather have died than injure a rational creature".
Details
10
17 24 Literally what hearing the expression from Sarm meant was that he had had the item specially entered into his translator tapes and correlated with a random odor, much as if we had decided to invent a name to stand for some novel relation or object.
Details
10
17 118 "Is this what was done once on the road to Ko-ro-ba, to a man from Ar, who spoke to me in the name of Priest-Kings?" "Of course," said Sarm.
Details
10
18 143 "Do you know his name?" I asked.
Details
10
18 145 "We—both of us—know his name.
Details
10
26 276 I smiled at Vika's very natural correction of her mode of addressing me, for a slave girl is seldom permitted, at least publicly, to address her master by his name, only his title.
Details
10
26 277 The privilege of using his name, of having it on her lips, is, according to the most approved custom, reserved for that of a free woman, in particular a Free Companion.
Details
10
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.
Details
10
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.
Details
10
33 95 I would not reveal to him my name, my caste, nor city.
Details
10
35 35 Indeed, the ships were regarded as vehicles of a type forbidden to men by Priest-Kings and their passengers were attacked in the name of the very Priest-Kings from which they had come.

8 239 He was called Harold, which is not a Tuchuk name, nor a name used among the Wagon Peoples, though it is similar to some of the Kassar names.
Details
10
8 240 It was an English name, but such are not unknown on Gor, having been passed down, perhaps, for more than a thousand years, the name of an ancestor, perhaps brought to Gor by Priest-Kings in what might have been the early Middle Ages of Earth.

11 62 "You do not even have a name," hissed the little merchant.

11 64 Kamchak would undoubtedly continue to call her Aphris, but it would be now his name for her and not her own.
