10	39	The notion of friendship, it seems to me, has to do with a reliance and affection between two or more individuals; the notion of Nest Trust, as nearly as I can understand it, is more of a communal notion, a sense of relying on the practices and traditions of an institution, accepting them and living...	10

26	206	I could not understand why this assertion of mine should have troubled one of Vika's proud and treacherous nature but she seemed somehow more hurt than if I had administered to her when she had knelt the blows of a slave whip or the lashings of my sword belt.	10

26	307	"You do not understand, my friend," I wept, "you do not understand".	10
1	40	I found it hard to understand their terror.	10

5	112	"I do not understand," I said.	10
6	71	Speaking in Gorean, I said to him, "I can understand her".	10
6	75	It then occurred to me that it might have been for just this purpose that she had been sent to the Tuchuks, to single out the one man from among all the thousands with the wagons who could understand her and speak with her, thus identifying and marking him.	10
6	119	She must understand.	10
7	189	But I could not understand why Priest-Kings should wish me slain.	10
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.	10

9	213	"Very well," snapped Saphrar, "then you will not obtain the woman—I shall see to that—and somehow I shall have the sphere—understand that!" Kamchak now turned to watch Aphris of Turia.	10
9	278	I did not clearly understand Kamchak's motivations in this matter—unless, of course, he knew the true nature of the golden sphere, in which case, naturally, he would recognize it as priceless.	10
9	279	I gathered he did not understand its true value, seeing that he had apparently discussed its exchange with some seriousness earlier in the evening—only that, apparently, he wanted more than Saphrar was offering, even though that might be Aphris of Turia herself.	10
10	49	"I do not understand," she said.	10
10	131	It was best that she understand herself for what she was, a barbarian slave girl in the wagon of Kamchak of the Tuchuks.	10
10	404	I thought that a humane arrangement—that two men must understand who it is they face before entering the circle of sand.	10
10	510	I could understand his feelings.	10
11	53	"I don't understand," said Aphris.	10
11	70	"You understand, of course," continued Saphrar, "that at the instant you became slave all your properties and riches, your wardrobes and jewels, your investments and assets, chattels and lands, became mine".	10
11	110	"I don't understand," said the girl.	10
11	257	I now began to understand why there were often problems in a wagon with more than one girl.	10
12	454	"Don't you understand?" she asked.	10
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...	10
14	117	"I don't understand," I said.	10
15	23	"I do not understand your meaning," I said.	10
16	175	But know, Tarl Cabot, that I am a merchant and understand men and the meaning of gold—I no more object to Ha-Keel dealing with Tuchuks than I would to the fact that water freezes and fire burns—and that no one ever leaves the Yellow Pool of Turia alive".	10
16	305	The Others—those of power, not Priest-Kings, must, to some extent, understand or sense the politics, the needs and policies of the remote denizens of the Sardar—they were probably not altogether unaware of the business of Priest-Kings, particularly not now, following the recent War of ...	10
21	237	Do not go out into the streets!" "I do not understand," said she.	10
21	330	"When you leave the wagon," Harold told her, "you might be stopped by Tuchuks—nasty fellows—who would like to put your pretty little throat in a collar—you understand?" She nodded, Yes.	10
21	331	"So you tell them that you are already the slave of Harold the Tuchuk, understand?" She nodded again.	10

24	82	"But you still do not understand?" "No," I admitted.	10
25	352	"I am not sure," she said, "that I understand the meaning of that".	10
25	389	"The Goreans recognize," I said, "that this truth is hard for women to understand, that they will reject it, that they will fear it and fight it".	10
25	605	"I do not understand," I said.	10
25	680	And perhaps, I thought, the woman who is merely playing might resist a male, for she does not understand what it is to be an actual property, one fully at the mercy of its master.	10
25	780	"You do not understand".	10
26	80	"I—I do not understand," I stammered to Kamchak.	10
26	83	Only then did I understand with horror the depth of Kamchak's hatred of Saphrar of Turia.	10
26	211	"You do not understand!" I cried to Kamchak.	10
26	500	"Even," I said, "did you dare to sit upon it!" "I shall hope," chuckled Kamchak, "that the Priest-Kings will take no offense, but understand that such little bits of acting—rather well carried off, I think—were important parts of my deception".	10
27	170	We could not understand what he had done.	10

3	165	Every nerve in that old face seemed strained, as though trying to understand what might lie there beyond him in the darkness that was his world, save for the memory of the movement of pieces on a checkered board.	10
4	45	"May I ask," inquired Cernus, "for whom you wear on your forehead the mark of the black dagger?" I would speak of these things, to some extent, with Cernus, for it was important, though perilous, that he should understand what purported to be my mission.	10

7	26	You will come with us this night and for the first time you will understand how great indeed is my house.	10

13	172	"I understand he is in the Voltai," I said.	10
14	107	I was angry and frustrated that Caprus would not surrender the results of his labors before their completion, but I could understand his reasoning, his fears; and, on the other hand, the fact that he had himself located the documents we wished and was copying them gave me great satisfaction, for it ...	10

15	185	Flaminius, for a time, accepted and encouraged counter-arguments, patiently, as though waiting for the girls, when their simple minds permitted it, to understand the truth of what he said.	10
16	100	"I do not understand," said Ho-Sorl.	10
17	401	Then, to my horror, I saw Elizabeth, her back straight, her step determined, walk straight to Cernus and then, slowly, as his mouth flew open and he seemed scarcely to understand what was occurring, pour the rest of the contents of the vessel of Ka-la-na directly on his head.	10

And how could he have come to understand that Bosk, fighting man and merchant, was the same as he who once had been a warrior of the towered city of Ko-ro-ba, the Towers of the Morning?
