11	324	The high tribes need not, though often they do, support vassal tribes in their squabbles; the vassal tribes, however, are expected to support the high, or noble, tribes, in their altercations.	10
11	317	War, for example, between conquering tribes and rebellious vassal tribes is, although not unknown, quite rare.	10
11	319	Thus, if war should erupt between the high tribes, the conquering tribes, the entire desert might become engulfed in hostilities.	10
11	321	Not all tribes, of course, are vassal or conquering tribes.	10
2	287	Most importantly I had gathered that there was brewing bad blood between the tribes of the Kavars and the Aretai.	10
2	289	If war should erupt their vassal tribes, such as the Char, the Kashani, the Ta'Kara, the Raviri, the Tashid, the Luraz, the Bakahs, would all become involved.	10
7	628	There would be danger in conducting or transporting a slave to Klima in these times of unrest between the Kavars and the Aretai and their vassal tribes.	10
10	69	The tribes, at the various oases, and in the desert, in their nomad territories, and at their kasbahs, would be summoned.	10
10	212	"To all the oases of the Kavars and their vassal tribes," said the merchant.	10
10	218	"The tribes gather," said the merchant.	10
10	275	"The names of leaders," said Hassan, "do not figure in the war cries of Aretai, nor of most tribes.	10
11	318	Another result, perhaps unfortunate, however, is that the various tribes tend to build into larger and larger confederations of militarily related communities.	10
11	320	This was what was in danger of happening now, for the Aretai and the Kavars were the two high tribes of the Tahari.	10
11	323	War, incidentally, between vassal tribes is not unknown.	10
13	358	His men belong to various tribes.	10
14	230	"To precipitate war," said he, "between the Kavars and the Aretai, and their vassal tribes, to close the desert to strangers, intruders".	10
14	239	"Many men will die," cried Hassan, "both Kavars and Aretai, and of the vassal tribes! It must be stopped! They must be warned!" "It is necessary," said Ibn Saran to him.	10
23	19	"The Kavars, and the Aretai, and their attendant vassal tribes, gather".	10
23	100	Their left flank was held by the Raviri, and four minor tribes, the Ti, the Zevar, the Arani and the Tajuks.	10
23	104	Since that time the Tajuks had, whenever they heard the Aretai were gathering, and summoning tribes, come to ride with them.	10
23	162	I saw motion among the ranks of the Kavars and their vassal tribes.	10
23	254	"The Kavars, and all their vassal tribes, are yours to command".	10

1	206	The actual source of the tributary to the Vosk, now called the Thassa Cartius, as you know, was found five years later by the explorer, Ramus of Tabor, who, with a small expedition, over a period of nine months, fought and bartered his way through the river tribes, beyond the six cataracts, to the V...	10
1	221	"Particularly since it was known of the hostility of the river tribes on what is now called the Thassa Cartius".	10
1	224	"It seems likely they were slain by the tribes of the northern shores of Ushindi," said Samos.	10
1	269	"And the steepness of the portage, the jungle, the hostility, as it turned out, of interior tribes, made retreat advisable".	10
7	94	They perish in the heat, they die in the sun, they are killed by hostile tribes, they are destroyed by insects, they are eaten by tharlarion.	10
16	102	"Our only hope," said a man to my left, also, like Ayari, from Schendi, "are the hostile tribes".	10
16	140	"The men of the work crews are not of their tribes," said Ayari.	10
23	45	One can recognize tribes, of course, and, often, villages and districts by those tattoo patterns.	10
31	44	He says there are hostile tribes, dangerous waters, great animals, monsters, and talunas, white-skinned jungle girls".	10

Book 17. (48 results) Savages of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
1	799	To be sure, some tribes do not have the kaiila, never having mastered it, and certain tribes have mastered the tarn, which tribes are the most dangerous of all.	10
1	578	Thus, then, do I bring you greetings on behalf of the cliffs of the thousand tribes".	10
1	794	"It is an artifact of the red savages," said Kog, "from one of the tribes in the Barrens".	10
1	801	This is presumably a function of so little being known about them, as a whole, and the cunning, ruthlessness and ferocity of so many of the tribes.	10
1	803	Interestingly enough most of these tribes seem to be united only by a hatred of whites, which hatred, invariably, in a time of emergency or crisis, takes precedence over all customary conflicts and rivalries.	10
1	805	The gathering of tribes, friends and foes alike, for such a battle is said to be a splendid sight.	10
1	991	Too, the scout, often, in most tribes, wears the pelt of a sleen.	10
1	1063	The most highly regarded battle exploit among most tribes, for which the highest honors are accorded, is not to kill an armed enemy but to touch or strike one with the open hand.	10
1	1066	It is thus understandable that touching an armed enemy with the open hand counts among most tribes as a first coup.	10
1	1070	Indeed, there are also, in many tribes, practical considerations which also become involved in these matters.	10
1	1072	Too, in many tribes, a man who has not counted coup is not permitted to mate.	10
1	1073	In other tribes, such a man, if he is over twenty-five, is permitted to mate, but he is not allowed to paint his mate's face.	10
1	1085	In most tribes, incidentally, a man who refuses to go on the warpath is put in women's clothes and given a woman's name.	10
1	1132	The typical act of war is the raid, conducted usually by a small group of men, some ten to fifteen in number, which enters enemy country, strikes, usually at dawn, and makes away, almost as soon as it came, with scalps and loot; sometimes, too, a woman or two of the enemy is taken; men of most tribe...	10
4	12	"Some, merchants and traders, are permitted, by some of the tribes," said the young man.	10
4	18	"He speaks some Dust Leg, and some of the talk of other tribes," said the fellow.	10
4	22	"It is the way the red savages of different tribes communicate among one another.	10
4	25	Hand sign, I suspected, was the key to the capacity of the tribes to unite and protect their territories against outside encroachment, that and what they called the Memory.	10
4	202	I had understood them to be one of the more peaceful of the tribes of the Barrens.	10
4	203	Indeed, they often acted as intermediaries between the men of the settlements and the wilder tribes of the interior, such as the Yellow Knives, the Sleen and Kaiila.	10
5	67	"There are tribes to be subdued".	10
5	92	"She has been empowered to negotiate hide contracts with the conquered tribes".	10
6	34	It has occasionally happened that enemy tribes have preyed on such a herd at different points and only afterwards, to their chagrin and amusement, realized their proximity to one another.	10
6	41	These peregrinations, as would be expected, tend to take a herd in and out of the territory of given tribes at given times.	10
6	42	The same herd, thus, may be hunted by various tribes without necessitating dangerous departures from their own countries.	10
7	61	Subtle differences in the styles of collars, and in the knots with which they are fastened on the girls' necks, differentiate the tribes.	10
10	9	Many tribes, apparently, would not deal on a face-to-face basis with whites.	10
12	12	This tribe I knew, in its various bands, was regarded as the most civilized of the tribes of the Barrens.	10
12	13	In the eyes of some of the other tribes they were regarded as little better than white men.	10
12	44	"That sort of thing," said Grunt, "is cultural, with almost all of the tribes.	10
14	74	It is not merely that it is more common nearer the perimeter but, I think, that it serves as a reminder, near the perimeter, of the reality and proximity of the red nations, whereas these same nations, or tribes, far from the perimeter tend to be regarded not only as remote but as almost mythical pe...	10
14	454	To be sure, most of the tribes had no particular animus toward the Dust Legs, other than, perhaps, to look down upon them somewhat because of their trading, and their relationships with white men.	10
14	682	In the camps, and among the tribes, our red masters keep women such as I in our collars, to remove one of which without permission is death".	10
14	689	"What are Waniyanpi? Who are the Kailiauk?" "Many of the tribes permit small agricultural communities to exist within their domains," she said.	10
14	690	"The individuals in these communities are bound to the soil and owned collectively by the tribes within whose lands they are permitted to live.	10
14	950	Sign, as far as I know, is common to all the tribes of the Barrens".	10
14	952	"I do not know," said Grunt, "but I think it is because they were the last of the major tribes to master the kaiila.	10
14	1119	That stood for the Kaiila, the Cutthroat tribes.	10
14	1191	I did not fail to note, incidentally, that several, often mutually hostile tribes, had cooperated in the attack, with its attendant destruction and killing.	10
15	56	This, too, is used by some tribes as a sign for friend.	10
15	148	Most tribes had several warrior societies.	10
15	149	These societies had much influence within the tribes and, on an alternating basis, to preclude any one society from becoming predominant, a good deal of power.	10
15	153	Warrior Societies in the tribes have many functions.	10
15	157	It is part of their function, too, to keep the tribes apprised as to the movements of kailiauk and to organize and police tribal hunts.	10
17	741	The Waniyanpi, incidentally, are owned by tribes, not individuals.	10
19	505	The expression 'Kailiauk' is used by most of the tribes for the kailiauk, which is not an animal native to Earth.	10
19	508	This is perhaps because the "Pte" is regarded, in a sense, as the mother of the tribes.	10
19	784	Few tribes, most of which are usually dispersed in scattered bands, would be likely to wish to, or be able to, bring a force against them, some three or four hundred mounted men.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
56	53	If tribes without tarns could not hold their own against those who had them, then these other tribes would presumably be forced from their lands and into westward migrations.	10
1	159	In a sense, the "Pte" may be considered the mother of the tribes, as it is through her that their nomadic life, in its richness and variety, becomes possible.	10
1	176	Others claim that they once lived in a flint-rich area and, prior to the general availability of trade points, conducted a lively trade in flint with surrounding tribes.	10
4	166	Various tribes use different numbers of poles in setting up their lodges.	10
4	168	Similarly different encampment sites tend to be favored by different tribes.	10
4	175	Different tribes, too, incidentally, tend to use different moccasin designs.	10
4	237	Certain other tribes, such as the Fleer, notch only one ear, usually the left.	10
7	585	Surely you examined the dust for the print of moccasins?" Different tribes have, usually, slightly different moccasin patterns, resulting in subtly different prints.	10
7	643	Similarly, interestingly, enemy tribes, during this period, perhaps in virtue of an implicit bargain, that their own festival times be respected, do not attack them, or raid them.	10
7	644	For the red savages the festival times in the summer, whenever they are celebrated by the various tribes, are the one time in the year when they are territorially and politically secure.	10
7	645	These are very happy times, on the whole, for the tribes.	10
7	820	The Dust Legs, for example, who do a great deal of trading, have dealings with several tribes which, in their turn, have dealings with others.	10
7	821	For example, although the Dust Legs and the Fleer are enemies, as are the Kaiila and the Fleer, the Dust Legs have dealings with the Sleen, and the Sleen, in turn, trade with tribes such as the Yellow Knives and the Fleer.	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.	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".	10
7	977	"That white females are herded by the Isanna, more so than with other bands, or tribes," I said, "has, I gather, something to do with the Isanna women".	10
8	45	Grunt divided the tribes of red savages into those with whom he had had good relations and those with whom he had not had good relations.	10
13	191	During the feasting times, those generally correlated with the coming of the kailiauk, the locations of the great camps of the various tribes were well known.	10
13	192	This made feasible the delivery of produce, something which would be correspondingly impractical most of the year, when the tribes had separated into scattered bands, and sometimes even smaller units, with temporary, shifting camps.	10
19	119	Tribes do not attack one another at such times".	10
28	76	Alliances between tribes unfamiliar to one another commonly took place only in resistance to white intrusion into the Barrens.	10
42	12	In the vicinity of a Yellow-Knife camp, their allies, amongst tribes unfamiliar with tarns, they had feared nothing.	10
47	193	As nearly as I could determine, few tribes in the Barrens had mastered the tarn.	10
47	196	The Kinyanpi, I conjectured, occupied a position rather analogous to that of Earth tribes who might have been amongst the first, in the sixteen and seventeen hundreds, to master the horse.	10
47	210	Perhaps they had feared less than might have Yellow Knives, Fleer or Kaiila, because they were more familiar with tarns than such tribes.	10
47	434	These would be the Dust Legs, the Sleen and Fleer, tribes to whom we had sent riders.	10
47	435	We had been the bait, on Council Rock, to lure the Yellow Knives and soldiers into a trap, a trap which these other tribes, acting in coalition, were to spring shut.	10
47	443	Such events might produce dislocations, interfering with the migrations of the Pte, the Kailiauk, and forcing tribes from ancestral hunting grounds.	10
51	21	Subtracting the nine beasts which had been slain in the fighting, probably mostly by Fleer, who seemed to have less apprehension concerning their appearance than several of the other tribes, I had arrived at a probable figure of eight Kur survivors.	10
54	106	Such times of celebration, of festivals and peace, particularly among diverse tribes, are rare and precious.	10
56	48	As the appearance of kaiila in the Barrens, long ago, had wrought a social and cultural revolution among the tribes, so, too, I suspected, now might the tarn.	10
