6	152	About its flanks, as it settled into the mud, there was a stirring in the water, and I realized the small water lizards of the swamp forest were engaged in their grisly work.	10
6	163	As the water lizards had fed, the carcass, lightened, had shifted position, rolling in the water.	10
12	62	It was far more likely that one of the water lizards of the Vosk or one of the great hook-beaked turtles of the river would seize my body and drag it and the frame under the water, destroying me in the mud below.	10
12	83	Savagely those vast talons struck and closed on my body, forcing the frame for an instant beneath the water, then the tarn was beating the air angrily with his wings, struggling to lift his prey, and suddenly both myself and the heavy frame were pulled free from the water.	10
4	114	I struggled to my feet and staggered to the laving bowl on the table and splashed some water in my face.	10
6	142	Then it splashed on its back in the water, rolled quickly onto its legs, and began to move its head in rapid scanning motions.	10
6	144	It charged, its great webbed feet striking the marsh water like explosions.	10
6	153	I bent down and washed the blade of my sword as well as I could in the green water, but my tunic was so splattered and soaked that I had no way to dry the blade.	10
6	174	Her Robes of Concealment were splattered with mud and marsh water, and in several places the heavy brocade had stiffened and cracked.	10
7	23	"You can't leave me here!" She stumbled a bit from the knoll, tripped and fell in the water.	10
7	24	She knelt in the green stagnant water, her hands held out to me, pleading, as if she suddenly realized the full horror of her plight, what it would mean to be abandoned in the swamp forest.	10
7	28	She stumbled again and fell once more into the water.	10
7	35	I shrugged and dropped her back in the water.	10
7	56	After all, according to the rude codes of Gor, I owed her nothing; indeed, considering her attempt on my life, which had been foiled only by the fortuitous net of Nar's web, I would have been within my rights to slay her, abandoning her body to the water lizards.	10
7	81	Wordlessly Nar moved rapidly through the marsh, his eight delicate feet scarcely seeming to dip into the greenish water.	10
7	90	We stood together in the shallow water at the side of the gigantic insect.	10
7	106	She had sunk to her waist in the marsh water.	10
7	111	The tarn-goad, which had been thrust in the belt, dropped into the water, and I lost it.	10
7	112	The girl sank deeper in the mire, the surface of the water circling her armpits.	10
7	119	I frantically looked about, caught sight of a half-submerged log some yards away, protruding upward out of the marsh water.	10
7	122	I half-carried, half-floated it, shoving it toward the place where the daughter of the Ubar had slipped under the water.	10
7	123	I clung to the log, floating in the shallow water over the quicksand, and reached down again and again into the mire.	10
8	92	Most importantly, I found a compass-chronometer, some rations, two water flasks, bowstrings, binding fiber, and some oil for the mechanism of the crossbow.	10
8	166	"Because I am leaving you," I said, shoving her share of the food toward her, also one of the water flasks.	10
9	28	Toward morning we ate some of the rations and refilled the water flasks at a secluded spring.	10
9	35	She laughed again and disappeared, and I soon heard the sounds of her splashing delightedly in the water.	10
9	39	I entered the pool and rejoiced in the invigorating, cleansing water.	10
9	64	That night we finished the rations and one of the water flasks.	10
9	84	A swallow of water from the flask and small, dry berries gathered from the nearby shrubbery were our only sustenance.	10
10	118	Moreover, they needed far less water than tarns.	10
12	59	Bound helplessly, without food or water, my own body would torture me by its weight dragging on the hand and ankle ropes, suspended a few inches above the roiling, muddy surface under the fiery sun.	10
12	60	I knew that I would not, some days hence, reach the delta of the Vosk and the cities in the delta except perhaps as a bound corpse, withered by exposure and the lack of water.	10
12	74	The water lapped against the side of the frame, the stars sparkled above in frosty detachment.	10
12	75	Once, to my horror, a scaled body crested under the frame, its glistening hide rubbing my body as it snapped its tail and suddenly darted beneath the water.	10
12	149	The first thing I did was unseal one of the two water flasks and open the dried rations.	10
12	150	And there on that windy ledge, in that abode of the tarn, I ate the meal that satisfied me as no other had ever done, though it consisted only of some mouthfuls of water, some stale biscuits, and a wrapper of dried meat.	10
16	46	It seemed probable that food and water would soon be scarce in the city and that the Initiates, whose resistance had been unimaginative and who were apparently unable to protect the city, would be forced to face a hungry and desperate population.	10
16	58	It would surely depend, in part, on the food and water available and on the persistence of the Initiates' attempts to dislodge him.	10
16	59	I was confident that there would be cisterns and canisters of water in the palace, and I supposed that Marlenus, as an enlightened precaution, in view of the unstable politics of Ar, would have outfitted his cylinder as a keep, laying in stores of food and missile weapons.	10
17	23	Worse, from the reports of deserters, it became clear that the city was starving and that water was running short.	10
18	76	In the center of the pit a crude cistern had been carved from the living rock and was half filled with cold but foul water.	10
18	94	Then, with a shout of anger at my stupidity, I ran to the shallow cistern in the center of the pit and fell on my stomach before the chill, foul water.	10
18	95	I thrust my hand into the slimy water, desperately examining the bottom.	10
18	101	Inside the door I saw another valve, corresponding to the one hidden under the water of the cistern.	10

12	43	She reached into the cistern, first scraping the surface of the water to clear it of the green scum that floated there, and then, in the palms of her cupped hands, carried water to my parched lips.	10
17	8	There were pools of water here and there on the floor; the walls were damp; water in certain places dripped from the ceiling.	10
18	57	When one man was beaten, others would pass water from hand to hand that his wounds might be bathed, that he might drink though the chain did not allow him to the water.	10
3	32	No rations or water flask had been in the leather package found with the weapons.	10
3	50	Its wide, narrow eyes, pale like water, regarded me through the brush of hair that almost concealed them.	10
4	59	In a moment I was drenched in the icy water.	10
4	63	I pulled off the helmet and wiped the cold water from my eyes.	10
4	111	I saw that water had gathered in the concave side of the shield.	10
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.	10
5	10	At last on the crest I waited and wiped the cold water from my eyes, waited for the flash of lightning that after these long years would reveal my city.	10
5	31	In pools of cold water lying among the stones of the road I could see the three moons of Gor.	10
12	9	From where I was chained, I could reach a cistern of water.	10
12	49	"I will be sent from the city, to the Great Farms, where I will carry water to Field Slaves".	10
12	127	It was decreed that I must lose my silver mask, don the camisk and be collared, and be sent to the Great Farms to carry water to Field Slaves".	10
14	92	It shook its head, as if to throw water from its feathers, and the leather hood was thrown far into the air and behind the bird.	10
17	22	To pump out the water and clear the shafts of bodies had taken weeks.	10
18	8	Drinking water, of course, is supplied by the natural sumps in each mine.	10
18	103	I took the lamp and went, some of my fellow prisoners perforce accompanying me, and held it to the circular shaft, about two feet in diameter, down which the water would hurtle.	10
18	120	A trickle of water from above moved down the sides of the stones.	10
18	124	Now there was a stream of water flowing down the shaft.	10
18	142	The water was sloshing through the aperture now, in a stream about as wide as my fist.	10
18	147	The water was perhaps two feet high in the cell, pressing upward toward the low ceiling, when I followed Andreas into the tunnel.	10
18	151	The stream of water now seemed to press us down, to impede our progress.	10
18	154	The first man on the chain had now ascended the tunnel to the very source of the water, another tunnel.	10
18	155	We heard a sudden, loud swift rushing of water.	10
18	158	"Get them out of the cell!" But my last words were drowned in a hurtling plunging cataract of water that shattered on my body like a great fist, knocking my breath out.	10
18	163	Above, whoever worked the valve must have grown impatient and thrown it open completely, or perhaps the sudden torrent of water had been intended as a gesture of mercy to drown any survivors quickly.	10
18	167	In perhaps another two or three minutes I had reached the horizontal tunnel down which the tumult of the water had been fed into the vertical tunnel.	10
18	174	How long they had been under water was hard to say.	10
19	2	We had found him at the valve which emptied the reservoir of water into the slave dungeon more than two hundred feet below.	10
19	35	We heard his body hit the sides a dozen times, and his frightened scream fading, only to be silenced by the distant, hollow splash in the water far below.	10
19	67	I could imagine the terror of those poor creatures cringing in those traps beneath the ground waiting to hear the distant rush of water through the tunnels.	10
21	184	Grumbling, the man went to fetch a leather bucket of water from the small stream near the camp.	10
21	186	He hurled the bucket of cold water, from the melted snow in the Sardar, on the chained girl, who, sputtering and shivering, opened her eyes.	10

14	103	I had naturally supposed the fluid to be simply water which it closely resembled in appearance, and once had tried to fill my bowl for the morning meal there, rather than ladling the water out of the water pan.	10
6	4	The temperature of the water which sprang from the wall tap, I learned, was regulated by the direction in which the shadow of a hand fell across a light-sensitive cell above the tap; the amount of water was correlated with the speed with which the hand passed before the sensor.	10
6	5	I was interested to note that one received cold water by a shadow passing from right to left and hot water by a shadow passing from left to right.	10
6	8	More cold water is used than hot, and most individuals using the water are right-handed.	10
2	22	On the pedestal there was a silver bowl, filled with water, a vial of oil and a towel.	10
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.	10
5	33	She then moved her hand past a glass disk in the wall and water emerged from a concealed aperture and curved into the shallow bowl.	10
6	6	This reminded me of faucets on Earth, in which the hot water tap is on the left and the cold on the right.	10
6	16	The meal was completed by a handful of grapes and a draught of water from the wall tap.	10
6	23	I wondered why there was only water to drink, and none of the fermented beverages of Gor, such as paga, Ka-la-na wine or Kal-da.	10
6	47	"Why is there nothing but water to drink?" I asked Vika.	10
6	91	I had washed as well as I could, squatting in the stream of water which emerged from the wall.	10
12	147	"And," said Sarm, "they live on fungus and water, and wash themselves twelve times a day".	10
14	65	"It is quite comfortable," said the other, "with fungus and water".	10
14	75	In the first meal, Mul-Fungus is ground and mixed with water, forming a porridge of sorts; for the second meal it is chopped into rough two-inch cubes; for the third meal it is minced with Mul-Pellets and served as a sort of cold hash; the Mul-Pellets are undoubtedly some type of dietary supplement;...	10
14	98	Inside the cube there were canisters of Mul-Fungus, a bowl, a ladle, a wooden-bladed Fungus-Knife; a wooden-headed Fungus-Mallet; a convenient tube of Mul-Pellets, which discharged its contents one at a time following my depressing a lever in the bottom of the tube; and a large, inverted jar of wate...	10
15	13	Here and there a trickle of water traced its dark pattern downward to the floor where it crept along the wall and, continuing its journey, disappeared into one crevice or another.	10
22	87	"We will bring you food and water," volunteered Mul-Ba-Ta.	10
23	54	How was it that she had been captured only so recently by the creature? And if it were true that she had been captured only recently how would she have managed to live in the caverns for those days? Perhaps she might have found a sump of water but what would there have been to eat, I wondered? Perha...	10
25	104	Fungus, water and pellets, and whatever else was needed, were apparently administered to the occupants of these cases from the outside by the Muls who attended them.	10
26	117	"Once," said the Attendant, "and it took several months, but there is no danger because we feed and water them from the outside".	10
26	155	I checked the tube of Mul-Pellets and the inverted jar of water.	10
26	213	Vika shook her head slowly and numbly looked about herself disbelievingly—at the mat, the jar of water, the canisters along the wall.	10
27	18	There I took a few minutes to replenish my energies from the containers of Mul-Fungus and I took a long welcome draught of water from the inverted jar in my case.	10
28	12	The Muls, I supposed, terrified and confused, had scattered and hidden themselves in their cases, living on their fungus and water, while over their heads hissed the weapons of their masters.	10
28	35	"They bring not Gur," said Al-Ka, "but water and fungus".	10
28	41	"I admire them," said Al-Ka, "for they can see a thousand yards in the darkness by the light of a single Mul-Torch and they can live on a handful of fungus and a swallow of water a day and they are very brave and proud".	10
29	56	While they seemed to hang undecided in space, almost like puzzled cells in a droplet of water, I dove again, and the third ship broke apart as though it were a toy beneath a falling cutlass of fire, and I climbed once more, the flame of the silver tube stabbing ahead of me, hitting the fourth ship a...	10
30	169	As the War continued I became more and more impressed with the loyalty and courage of the men and women serving Misk, who for a bit of fungus and water and freedom were willing to sell their lives in one of the strangest conflicts ever fought by men, boldly serving one of the most unusual causes tha...	10
30	172	She was later given charge of my feeding and she seemed to enjoy throwing me scraps of fungus or watching me lap at the water in the pan she placed on the disk.	10
31	100	Misk covered my body with his own and then with his great strength, reared up, stones falling from his back like water from the body of a swimmer.	10

16	15	"How is it," I asked, "that you managed to escape?" "At night, when cleaning the pools, we would be unchained, in order to protect the chain from dampness and rust—we were then only roped together by the neck—I had not been put on the rope until the age of fourteen, at which time I sup...	10
16	17	"Here," said Harold, pointing to a cut between two rocks, only about eight inches wide, through which from some underground source a flow of water was emerging, entering and adding to the small stream at which, some four pasangs from the wagons, Aphris and Elizabeth had often drawn water for the wag...	10
17	13	I was puzzled by the manner in which the heat and humidity were introduced to the room, for I saw no vents nor cauldrons of boiling water, or devices for releasing drops of water on heated plates or stones.	10
1	24	I had left the vicinity of the Sardar Range in the month of Se'Var, which in the northern hemisphere is a winter month, and had journeyed south for months; and had now come to what some call the Plains of Turia, others the Land of the Wagon Peoples, in the autumn of this hemisphere; there is, due ap...	10
7	28	I gathered that once, in his earlier years, he might have been a rider of the kaiila, that he might have been skilled with the bow and lance, and the quiva; such a man would not need ceremony; I sensed that once this man might have ridden six hundred pasangs in a day, living on a mouthful of water a...	10
9	22	This fish is a tiny, delicate fish, blue, about the size of a tarn disk when curled in one's hand; it has three or four slender spines in its dorsal fin, which are poisonous; it is capable of hurling itself from the water and, for brief distances, on its stiff pectoral fins, gliding through the air,...	10
9	23	This fish is also sometimes referred to as the songfish because, as a portion of its courtship rituals, the males and females thrust their heads from the water and utter a sort of whistling sound.	10
11	139	"There are bosk to be groomed," he informed her, "and their horns and hoofs must be polished—there is fodder to be fetched and dung to be gathered—the wagon must be wiped and the wheels greased—and there is water to be brought from the stream some four pasangs away and meat to h...	10
11	378	When the girl had finished and Elizabeth had given her a dipper of water from the leather bucket that hung near the door, Aphris extended her wrists to Kamchak.	10
12	54	Both girls had apparently washed at the stream some four pasangs away, taking the opportunity to do so while fetching water.	10
12	260	We had slept late that day and finally when Kamchak managed to be up and around, after a late breakfast served rather slowly by Elizabeth, and had recollected Aphris and had opened the end of her sleeping quarters and she had crawled out backward and had begged, head to boot, to be allowed to draw w...	10
12	265	Gratefully Aphris of Turia had taken up the leather buckets and hurried away to fetch water.	10
13	19	I spied Elizabeth Cardwell approaching the wagon, two leather water buckets fastened to a wooden yoke she carried over her shoulders.	10
13	20	Some water was spilling from the buckets.	10
13	21	Aphris cried out with delight and ran to Elizabeth, to my astonishment, to kiss her and help with the water.	10
13	24	"Fetching water," she said.	10
13	35	"You were overly long in fetching water," he said.	10
13	39	"It seems she was fetching water," I pointed out.	10
13	58	"You lied to me," he said, "saying you went to fetch water".	10
13	103	"She was too long in fetching water".	10
13	111	I saw Aphris sneaking to the cage to bring Elizabeth a dipper of water.	10
15	14	There was no problem of water in the city, incidentally, for Turia's waters are supplied by deep, tile-lined wells, some of them hundreds of feet deep; there are also siege reservoirs, filled with the melted snows of the winter, the rains of the spring.	10
15	87	"Leave me!" Kamchak, once a day, at night, the hour in which sleen are fed, would throw the girls bits of bosk meat and fill a pan of water kept in the cage.	10
16	21	I am a strong swimmer but it seemed we must confront and conquer the steady press of flowing water for pasangs—and indeed we did so.	10
16	24	Here, Harold disappeared again under the water and once more I followed him.	10
16	28	It would contain literally hundreds of gallons of water when filled.	10
16	32	I heard Harold's voice in the darkness, sounding hollow against the tiled walls and over the water.	10
16	39	More disturbing to me was the prospect of bringing the golden sphere down the rope and under the water and through the underground stream to the place where we had embarked on this adventure.	10
16	59	It is one thing to roll about in a public bath or splash about in some pool or stream, but quite another to struggle for pasangs against a current in a tunnel channel with only a few inches between the water and the roof of the tunnel.	10
16	74	The walls provide a means for defending the water and also, of course, considering the number of wells in the city, some of which, by the way, are fed by springs, provide a number of defensible enclaves should portions of the city fall into enemy hands.	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
17	25	I conjectured it would be a water animal.	10
17	32	This reasoning also led me to suppose that it would not be likely to be anything like a water sleen or a giant urt from the canals of Port Kar.	10
17	34	Therefore whatever lay in wait in the pool must be truly aquatic, capable of absorbing its oxygen from the water itself.	10
17	88	The pool was now, it seemed, literally coruscating, glistening with a brilliance of hues that was phenomenal, almost like hands lifting and spilling gems in sunlit water.	10
19	38	Here and there I could hear the flowing of water, from miniature artificial waterfalls and fountains.	10
19	63	They were beautiful shining among the green and white blossoms on the water.	10
20	7	The keep, in the private houses of Goreans, is most often a round, stone tower, built for defense, containing water and food.	10
22	30	Within he undoubtedly had ample food and water to withstand a long siege.	10
23	122	Free women, and even some Turian slave girls, went to and fro, bringing water and, here and there, where there was point in it, binding wounds.	10
24	27	There were occasional small creeks across the paths of the refugees and water was available.	10
26	8	On the way to the compound I had met Harold and together we had eaten some dried bosk meat and drunk water, from one of the commissary wagons attached to one of Hundreds in the city.	10
26	148	Harold tossed a pebble into the opening and it took about ten Ihn before we heard it strike water far below.	10

6	43	Ho-Tu, I noted, but did not speak to him of it, drank only water and, with a horn spoon, ate only a grain porridge mixed with bosk milk.	10
6	94	She would be hungry tonight and in the morning would have to go to the feed troughs in the quarters of the female staff slaves, probably for water and a porridge of grain and vegetables.	10
7	64	But it does not float on water.	10
11	21	Their food and water areas were protected from the wall of bars shared with the next cage, which might contain male slaves, by a heavy iron mesh rather like that of the flooring, riveted by hammer to the bars.	10
11	70	One of the smiths from below was summoned with a bowl of slave porridge, which he mixed half with water, and stirred well, so that it could be drunk.	10

13	42	Her blond hair was cut very short to protect it from the water; even so, in swimming, such girls often wrapped a long broad strap of glazed leather about their head, in a turban of sorts.	10
13	54	It took but one glance and I dove into the water, swam to her, seized her by the ankle and dragged her under, kissing her, rolling about beneath the surface.	10
13	59	I knew that few men could, if a bath girl did not wish it, come close to them in the water.	10
13	60	They spend much of the day in the water and, it is said, are more at ease in that element than the Cosian song fish.	10
13	74	I knew that she could, if she wished, swim like a water lizard making a strike.	10
13	77	She was about half of the way to the far edge of the pool when she straightened herself in the water, and looked back at me.	10
13	84	I swam as I never had before, knifing through the water.	10
13	85	The thought went through me, bubbling to the roar of water passing my ears, that tomorrow I would scarcely be able to move; each breath was a cruel explosion in my lungs.	10
13	86	At that point, looking back once more, and noting that I was still moving quickly toward her, and not willing to lose a possible rare day's freedom, she began, with the marvelous, strong trained stroke of her legs and arms, to slice swiftly through the water.	10
13	88	Now she was moving as rapidly as she could, determinedly, a fury of beauty in the water.	10
13	93	Suddenly she, sensing this too, became like a maddened, terrified water animal.	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	239	Many of the perches were empty, but there were more than a hundred birds in the room; each was now chained to its area of the perch; but each, I knew, at least once in every two days, was exercised; sometimes, when men do not wander freely in the cot, and the portals of the cot, opening to the sky, ...	10
15	102	Upon occasion, and it had happened early in Se'Kara this year, the arena is flooded and a sea fight is staged, the waters for the occasion being filled with a variety of unpleasant sea life, water tharlarion, Vosk turtles, and the nine-gilled Gorean shark, the latter brought in tanks on river barges...	10
16	31	Even the slaves in the iron pens in the House of Cernus received that day a small cake with oil and had their troughs filled with water mixed with paga.	10
17	4	About that time a large pan of warm water splashed down on me from a window some sixteen feet above the street level.	10
18	342	Now, paga bottle in hand, I was passing guards and found myself walking down the narrow iron runways over the pens below, now filled with drunken slaves, some sleeping, some sitting stupefied in the center of their pen, some singing brokenly to themselves, some trying to crawl again to the trough to...	10

1	7	Immediately following I saw the water seem to glitter for a moment, a rain of yellowish streaks beneath the surface, in the wake of the water tharlarion, doubtless its swarm of scavengers, tiny water tharlarion, about six inches long, little more than teeth and tail.	10
7	63	Then, as the oar-master again cried out, they entered as one into the water; and then, as he cried out again, each oar drew slowly in the water, and then turned and lifted, the water falling in the light from the blades like silver chains.	10
1	6	To my right, some two or three feet under the water, I saw the sudden, rolling yellowish flash of the slatted belly of a water tharlarion, turning as it made its swift strike, probably a Vosk carp or marsh turtle.	10
3	6	It is dangerous to enter the water to make a tether fast because of the predators that frequent the swamp, but several men do so at a time, one man making fast the tether and the others, with him beneath the surface, protecting him with marsh spears, or pounding on metal pieces or wooden rods to dri...	10
3	10	In times of emergency the inhabitants of the island gather behind wickerlike breastworks, woven of rence, in the area of the center wells; in such an emergency the low-ceilinged rence huts on the island will have been knocked down to prevent an enemy from using them for cover, and all food and water...	10
6	196	Here and there, on the water, apart from the flaming rence island, I could see the flat, black keels of rence craft, which had earlier been cast off and burned to the water, to prevent them from being used for escape.	10
6	221	My leg was out of the water, but now the water seemed yellow with the flashing bodies of tiny tharlarion, and, beyond them, I heard the hoarse grunting of the great marsh tharlarion, some of which grow to be more than thirty feet in length, weighing more than half a hundred men.	10
8	588	A huge tharlarion, seeing the image on the water, half rose from the marsh, jaws clashing, and then dropped back into the water.	10
12	34	The sack, filling with water, began to sink, and, as I reached it, it had slipped beneath the water.	10
13	432	For an ugly moment the ship canted sharply to starboard and we shipped water through the thole ports, but then the other ship, with her shearing blade, passed, and the Rena righted herself, but rocked helplessly, lame in the water.	10
14	255	His oars took up maximum beat and his heavy ship, the crest of the ram dividing the water before the concave bow, the tarn's beak just below the water line, plunged toward us.	10
17	134	It was the latter sail which, although it was unusual, the round ships were using for tacking; had they used either of the larger sails, with the sharp wind, they would have heeled dangerously toward the water, perhaps shipping water through the leeward thole ports.	10
18	77	Then I had water brought for the tarn, in a leather bucket, the ice broken through that coated the water like a lid.	10
1	2	I reached down from the rush craft and took a palm of water into my hand and touched my tongue to it.	10
1	15	My weapons shared the boat, with a gourd of water and a tin of bread and dried bosk meat.	10
1	47	Some swarms of insects hung in the sedge here and there but I had not been much bothered; it was late in the year, and most of the Gorean insects likely to make life miserable for men bred in, and frequented, areas in which bodies of unmoving, fresh water were plentiful.	10
1	48	I did see a large, harmless zarlit fly, purple, about two feet long with four translucent wings, spanning about a yard, humming over the surface of the water, then alighting and, on its padlike feet, daintily picking its way across the surface.	10
1	75	The plant itself has a long, thick root, about four inches thick, which lies horizontally under the surface of the water; small roots sink downward into the mud from this main root, and several "stems," as many as a dozen, rise from it, often of a length of fifteen to sixteen feet from the root; it ...	10
1	79	Rence paper is made by slicing the stem into thin, narrow strips; those near the center of the plant are particularly favored; one layer of strips is placed longitudinally, and then a shorter layer is placed latitudinally across the first layer; these two surfaces are then soaked under water, which ...	10
1	94	I again tasted the water, and the salt of it was even stronger than it had been.	10
1	97	There was not much water left in the gourd now, and it was the last of several I had brought with me.	10
1	103	Not only must they fear the marsh sharks and the carnivorous eels which frequent the lower delta, not to mention the various species of aggressive water tharlarion and the winged, monstrous, hissing, predatory Ul, but they must fear, perhaps most of all, men, and of these, most of all, the men of Po...	10
2	7	It stuns the bird, which is then gathered from the water and tied, alive, in the craft.	10
2	47	From the safety of the yards of marsh water separating me from my enemies I could have been immediately slain, lost in a thicket of the two- or three-pronged marsh spears.	10
3	3	They are generally about eight to nine feet thick and have an exposed surface above the water of about three feet; as the rence stems break and rot away beneath the island, more layers are woven and placed on the surface.	10
4	9	I cut again, dropping the tufted, flowered head of the rence stem into the water, and then I tossed the stem onto the raft of rence, with the piles of others.	10
4	62	"Put now the rence craft in the water," she said, "and attach to it a raft for cut rence, Slave.	10
4	98	The rence knife flashed through a stem and then I cut the tufted, flowered head, it falling in the water, and threw the stem on the rence craft, with the numerous others.	10
4	119	The water glistened in the dusk, moving in small bright circles about the stems of rushes.	10
4	207	Then she took a long draught of water from a yellow, curved gourd, and then, thrusting the neck of the gourd into my mouth, gave me a swallow, then drawing it away again and laughing, but then giving it to me again, that I might drink.	10
5	67	I had also been used to carry heavy kettles of rence beer from the various islands to the place of feasting, as well as strings of water gourds, poles of fish, plucked gants, slaughtered tarsks, and baskets of the pith of rence.	10
5	70	Around the tenth Gorean hour, the Gorean noon, the rencers ate small rence cakes, dotted with seeds, drank water, and nibbled on scraps of fish.	10
6	95	In the marsh, some yards away, rence craft were burning on the water.	10
6	97	We saw one rencer screaming in the water, caught in the jaws of a marsh tharlarion.	10
6	220	My leg slipped from the island into the water and suddenly a tiny tharlarion struck it, seizing his bit of flesh and backing, tail whipping, away.	10
7	20	As the barges, loading, sank deeper in the water, I looked on Telima.	10
7	43	There was a rapid movement in the water and it was gone.	10
7	61	They stood poised, parallel, over the water, the early-morning sun illuminating their upper surfaces.	10
7	62	I noted that they were no more than a foot above the water, so heavily laden was the barge.	10
7	64	The barge, deep in the water, began to back away from the island.	10
7	90	I hoped there would be water.	10
7	136	Most pleased I was to find the water gourd, which was still half filled.	10
7	146	I drank from the water gourd, and then handed it to her, and she, too, drank.	10
7	176	She tumbled the body from the island into the water.	10
7	177	Under the water I saw a tharlarion move toward it.	10
8	27	The sixth barge began to drift to leeward, a slow half circle, aimless, like a finger drawing in the water.	10
8	45	Telima poled us skillfully about a large, floating tangle of marsh vine, it shifting with the movements of the marsh water.	10
8	55	Below the prow, in the marsh water, the slaves in the punt stopped cutting at the sedge and marsh vine that blocked their way.	10
8	60	There was a splash in the water.	10
8	62	I heard a thrashing in the water on the other side of the barge, the hoarse grunting of a suddenly emerged marsh tharlarion.	10
8	64	Doubtless he had been dead before he struck the water.	10
8	91	* * * * In the darkness, Telima and I finished some rence cake we had brought from the island, and drank some water.	10
8	177	I gave her half of the food and water that we had left and, in silence, we ate.	10
8	281	Several of the warriors struck by the arrows had plunged into the water; others had been thrown overboard by their fellows.	10
8	286	"Give me water," whispered a bound rencer.	10
8	328	I found his mother and cut her free, telling her to feed the child and give water to it.	10
8	524	"Build a raft," I said, "large enough for food and water, and more than two men, and what we might find here that we might wish to take with us".	10
8	541	"We found food and water," said Clitus, "and some weapons, and gold".	10
9	26	We had seen that the canal was guarded by heavy metal gates, of strong bars, half submerged in the water.	10
9	501	I heard one of the giant canal urts twist in the water somewhere beneath me.	10
9	507	Somewhere I heard the squealing and thrashing of two of the giant urts fighting in the water, among the floating garbage.	10
10	226	We gathered that, seeing how low we sat in the water, they assumed our cargo to be one of bulk goods and departed, doubtless having higher hopes for gain upon the sea.	10
10	257	It is also called a songfish, because, in their courtship rituals, males and females thrust their heads from the water, uttering a kind of whistle.	10
10	265	Silently, oars scarcely touching the water, we had moved from Cos, leaving her behind in the moonlight.	10
11	105	Within the arsenal itself there are numerous basins, providing a plenitude of water.	10
12	23	The others, now at the edge of the canal, with a heave, flung the sack far out into the water.	10
12	36	I heard an arrow flash into the water near me and heard a high-pitched pain squeal from one of the web-footed canal urts.	10
12	37	Then there was the sound of biting and tearing and thrashing in the water, as other urts attacked the injured one.	10
12	38	Knife again between my teeth, pulling the bound thing from the sack, I shoved its head above the water.	10
12	47	I got the knife from between my teeth and, with it, sometimes half out of the water, sometimes beneath it, thrashing and twisting, thrust the blade a dozen times into its hide.	10
12	50	It disappeared beneath the water, dragged under by other urts.	10
12	52	Bleeding and choking, shivering with cold, I was drawn from the water.	10
13	305	As one the oars entered the water, dipping and moving within it.	10
13	310	We were passing a water skin about among us.	10
13	364	"Port oars! Stroke!" We lifted our oars, and then those of the port side only entered the water and pressed against it.	10
13	443	There, dented, its contents half spilled, itself floating in an inch or two of sea water, not yet drained down to the cargo hold, I found my pan of bread, onions and peas.	10
13	501	In the bright sun reflecting off the water, green is a color most difficult to detect on gleaming Thassa.	10
14	12	Her freeboard area, that between the water line and the deck, is five feet Gorean.	10
14	16	The Dorna's ram, a heavy projection in the shape of a tarn's beak, shod with iron, rides just below the water line.	10
14	91	Then, rather bravely, the music drifting over the water, our oars at only half of maximum beat, we moved across the gleaming waters toward the large fleet.	10
14	99	In a few moments hides, soaked overside, would be spread over good portions of the decks and bulwarks; and bags of sea water, for putting out fires, would be drawn and placed about the ships.	10
14	123	I heard more trumpets from across the water.	10
14	128	A javelin, with tarred, burning blade, fell hissing into the water, some hundred yards away.	10
14	139	Another tarred, flaming javelin fell hissing into the water.	10
14	144	I watched a burning javelin from the lead ship of the pursuers arc gracefully and smoking through the air and drop hissing into the water some fifteen yards to my right, abeam of the stern.	10
14	179	The iron-shod ram of the Dorna splintered into her stern a foot below the water line.	10
14	182	"Stroke! Maximum beat!" The stern of the enemy ship was already under water as we slipped past her.	10
14	188	The noise of our strike and the cries of the men aboard the rammed ship carried over the water.	10
14	210	When I saw the tarn ship ahead, its captain doubtless confident of his speeds and distances, lift her oars, preparing to come about, I called to the oar-master, "Now!" Without the loss of a stroke he, at the center of the rowing frame, began to call maximum beat, "Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!" The Dorna,...	10
14	306	In tacking to windward her leeward oars and rowing frame are likely to drag in the water, cutting down speed considerably and not infrequently breaking oars.	10
15	40	The wild crowds screamed and shouted, and threw flowers, and the flagship, oars dipping in stately fashion, took her regal path, ram's crest dividing flowers in the water, between the buildings lining the great canal.	10
16	422	And in those waters beyond there were crowded hundreds of boats, filled with men, many of them holding torches, the flames' reflections flickering on the walls of the buildings and on the water.	10
17	93	It was fall, and the wind was cold whipping across the water.	10
17	100	I studied the surface of the water to windward.	10
17	126	There is usually a water gourd kept at the masthead, for the lookout.	10
17	127	I uncorked the gourd and took some of the water.	10
17	164	I saw two of the tarn ships of Cos and Tyros, one heeled over in the water, the other slipping stern first beneath the waves.	10
17	165	There was wreckage in the water.	10
17	170	But, behind them, low in the water, almost invisible, masts down, came the second wave of my attack.	10
17	191	The water had now frozen in the gourd, splitting it.	10
17	252	It is extremely difficult to take a tarn far out over the water.	10
17	259	The boat was lowered to the water.	10
17	407	I heard a voice from across the water cry out.	10
18	16	Even they leaped in the water.	10
18	37	When it was it was like a fist striking the sail and the mast screamed, and the bow, for a terrible moment, dipped in the water and then, dripping the cold waters, the bow leaped up and tilted to the sky.	10
18	150	I unsaddled it and let it shake the water from its wings and body.	10
18	326	There was food and water there, enough for another week of fighting.	10
18	742	I would let her remain there for two days without food and water, in among the gold and the jewels.	10
