Book 1. (21 results) Tarnsman of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote
17 25 The tiny urt, a common rodent of Gorean cities, was bringing a silver tarn disk in the markets.
1 4 Such a connection seems unlikely for a number of reasons, among them the fact that my people were simple tradesmen of Bristol, and uniformly fair-complexioned and topped with a blaze of the most outrageous red hair.
2 50 I hadn't known what to expect, what these people would be like.
2 158 There was a sect among the people that worshipped the sun, I later learned, but it was insignificant both in numbers and power when compared with the worship of the Priest-Kings, who, whatever they were, were accorded the honors of divinity.
3 68 I was also instructed in the Double Knowledge—that is, I was instructed in what the people, on the whole, believed, and then I was instructed in what the intellectuals were expected to know.
3 95 I nodded, imagining a palace, empty save for one man sitting alone on his throne, clad in his robes of state, waiting for the angry people outside the gates to break through and work their wrath.
3 116 people had come, or had been brought to Gor possibly, with a fully developed language.
3 124 On the whole, I liked the people I met, and I was confident that they were largely of Earth stock, that their ancestors had been brought to the planet in Voyages of Acquisition.
5 17 The power of Marlenus, or much of it, lay in the mystique of victory that had never ceased to attend him, acting like a magic spell on his soldiers and the people of his city.
6 87 It said, "My name is Nar, and I am of the Spider people".
6 102 The Spider people do not hurt rational creatures".
6 106 "That is pleasing to me," said the insect, "for the men of Ar do not behave well toward the Spider people.
6 171 She seemed to have no fear of Nar, perhaps because of the familiarity of the citizens of Ar with the Spider people, but it was obvious she loathed the touch of his mandibles, and she shivered slightly as she tried to wipe the exudate from the sleeves of her gown.
7 17 "Well, Brother," I said, remembering the insult of the daughter of the Ubar, "shall we continue our journey?" I wanted Nar to understand that not all humankind were as contemptuous of the Spider people as the daughter of the Ubar.
7 88 It is dangerous for the Spider people".
7 93 I responded similarly and further wished health and safety to his people.
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".
7 201 "If you had been a true warrior," she said, "you would have taken me on the back of your tarn, above the clouds, even before we had passed the outermost ramparts of Ar, and you would have thrown my robes to the streets below to show my people what had been the fate of the daughter of t...
15 173 "You are willing," I asked, "to turn the city over to Pa-Kur—that his horde should swarm into the cylinders, that the city may be looted and burned, the people destroyed or enslaved?" I shuddered involuntarily at the thought of the uncontrolled hordes of Pa-Kur among the spires ...
19 34 There were about two hundred people on the cylinder roof.
19 253 "It seems I belong to you, bold Tarnsman," she said, "What are you going to do with me?" In answer, I hauled on the one-strap, and the great bird rose into the air, higher and higher, even into the clouds, and she cried to me, "Let it be now, Tarl," and even before we had passed the outermost rampar...

Book 2. (26 results) Outlaw of Gor

7 32 His eyes, like those of an urt, one of the small horned rodents of Gor, were set obliquely in his skull.
8 18 Whereas there is status in the capture of a free woman, there is less risk in the capture of a slave; the pursuit is never pressed as determinedly in their cases, and one does not have to imperil one's life for a girl who might, once the Robes of Concealment have been cast off, turn out to have the ...
10 62 It was a giant urt, fat, sleek and white; it bared its three rows of needlelike white teeth at me and squealed in anger; two horns, tusks like flat crescents curved from its jaw; another two horns, similar to the first, modifications of the bony tissue forming the upper ridge of the ey...
11 29 His narrow eyes, like those of an urt, looked upon me contemptuously.
11 65 I smiled to myself, thinking of the teeth of the urt and the whip, both of which had found my flesh.
11 140 "One sight of the white urt and he admitted all".
11 143 "To the urt with him!" sneered Dorna the Proud.
17 125 In fury, his eyes darting back and forth like those of an urt, he bit into the bread and gulped it down.
19 4 He threw down the whip and tried to run, scurrying like an urt, but everywhere he turned, the chain of haggard, violent men confined him, and as the chain closed, Ost fell quivering to his knees.
19 9 And the eyes of Ost, too, like those of a terrified urt, looked from face to face, pleading, but Ost found no pity in those eyes that looked upon him as though they might have been composed of stone.
21 141 It reminded me of the groomed, shining pelt of a pet urt.
21 197 "You fat, filthy urt!" she hissed.
25 64 He held, leashed, the large, sleek white urt which I had encountered in the pit inside the palace door.
25 69 "Kill!" cried the man in wrist straps, pointing the whip in my direction, and unleashing the urt, which charged viciously toward me.
25 90 The urt was over him, its haunches high, its shoulders almost level with the roof, gnawing.
1 53 There was a knot of people who had gathered, standing a safe distance away on the sidewalk.
5 53 Its stones and its people have been scattered to the corners of the world, and no two stones and no two men of Ko-ro-ba may stand again side by side".
5 64 "What of my father, my friends, the people of my city?" "Scattered to the corners of the world," said the robed figure, "and not a stone may stand upon a stone".
5 71 Was it on my account that a city had perished? Was it I who had brought disaster to its people, to my father, to my friends and Talena? Had I been too foolish to understand that I was nothing before the power of the Priest-Kings? Was I now to wander the forlorn roads and fields of Gor ...
8 29 He who speaks for her hand, especially if she is of low caste, is seldom unknown to her, although the parents and the young people as well solemnly act as though this were the case.
8 55 Slowly I let my eye wander the city, surely in its people and their customs one of the most unusual on Gor.
23 165 The tarnsman freed me and has now returned me to my people".
24 167 I ask this in the name of Lara, and of the city of Tharna and its people.
24 205 "Your swords are pledged to your city, to its walls, to your people and your Tatrix! Serve her!" "I shall serve the true Tatrix of Tharna!" cried the young warrior.
26 106 I have wondered about the Priest-Kings and their power, their ships and agents, their plans for their world and mine; but most importantly I must learn why my city was destroyed and its people scattered, why it is that no stone may stand upon another stone; and I must learn the fate of...
26 107 But I go to the Sardar for more than truth; foremost in my brain there burns, like an imperative of steel, the cry for blood-vengeance, mine by sword-right, mine by the affinities of blood and caste and city, mine for I am one pledged to avenge a vanished people, fallen walls and tower...

7 38 Probably her caste had been that of the Builders or Physicians, for had her people been Scribes I would have expected a greater subtlety of inflections, the use of less common grammatical cases; and had her people been of the Warriors I would have expected a blunter speec...
27 112 I could not to my emotional satisfaction conjecture the ancientness of this people on which I gazed, and I could but dimly understand their powers, what they might feel, what they might hope or dream, supposing that so old and wise a people were still akin to the simple d...
35 127 If I should attempt to help Misk, what would this mean, ultimately? Would it not be to surrender my race to the mercies of the people of Sarm and the Priest-Kings who had served him, or would it be ultimately to protect my race until it had learned to live with itself, until it had rea...
5 143 "Yes," she continued, "I, armed with my beauty, would come to the Sardar and wrest the riches and power of the Priest-Kings from them, for men had always sought to serve me, to give me what I wanted, and were the Priest-Kings not men?" people had strange reasons for entering the Sardar...
8 154 "How do the people of Treve live?" I asked Vika.
16 3 "I must tell you, Misk," I said slowly, "that I came to the Sardar to slay Priest-Kings, to take vengeance for the destruction of my city and its people".
16 67 "The Spider people are a gentle race," said Misk, "except the female at the time of mating".
16 69 "The Spider people are soft," said Misk.
19 39 "Long ago," said Sarm, "in Nests long before this one, in times of which you cannot conceive, it was by means of these small things that my people began the journey that led in time to Priest-Kings".
27 35 Had they not destroyed my city? Had they not scattered its people? Had they not destroyed men by Flame Death and brought them, willing or no, to their own world on the Voyages of Acquisition? Had they not implanted their control nets in human beings and spun the hideous mutations of th...
31 135 I climbed the walkway rapidly and soon could see Sarm clearly at the very top of the dome, whence he had once displayed to me the majesty of the Priest-Kings' accomplishments, where he had once indicated to me the modifications of the ganglionic net by means of which his people had won...
31 162 "No," he said, "there is only one Priest-King, the First Born, Sarm—he who did not betray the Nest, he who was beloved of the Mother, he who kept and honored the ancient truths of his people".
34 17 "My son," he said, "the people of Ko-ro-ba were scattered and none could be together and no stone of that city might stand upon another stone".
35 123 "Howsoever I spoke," said Misk, "words cannot diminish men or Priest-Kings—for who cares what we are—if we can act, decide, sense beauty, seek right, and have hopes for our people?" I swallowed hard, for I knew I had hopes for my race, and I sensed how Misk must have them...

Book 4. (30 results) Nomads of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote
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.
10 466 "You see," he said, "I am Champion of Turia and I have no particular wish to stain my blade with the blood of an urt".
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.
16 196 "The little urt was trying to pick my pouch!" "You were not always a merchant, then?" I asked Saphrar.
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.
18 29 "You fat, filthy urt!" cried Harold, struggling in his bonds with the two men-at-arms who held him.
2 3 Some years before, perhaps between two and five years before, as the culmination of an intrigue enduring centuries, two men, humans from the walled cities of Gor, had, for the sake of Priest-Kings, undertaken a long, secret journey, carrying an object to the Wagon peoples, an object be...
2 9 What is this object? One might speak of it as many things, the subject of secret, violent intrigues; the source of vast strifes beneath the Sardar, strifes unknown to the men of Gor; the concealed, precious, hidden hope of an incredible and ancient race; a simple germ; a bit of living tissue; the do...
2 37 Who knew with which people the object might have been placed? Perhaps it had been hidden away and forgotten? Perhaps it was now a sacred object, little understood, but revered—and it would be sacrilege to think of it, blasphemy to speak its name, a cruel and slow death even to c...
2 73 It is near Turia, in the spring, that the Omen Year is completed, when the omens are taken, usually over several days by hundreds of haruspexes, mostly readers of bosk blood and verr livers, to determine if they are favorable for a choosing of a Ubar San, a One Ubar, a Ubar who would be High Ubar, a...
2 89 I suspected that this might be due to the hostilities and bickerings of the peoples among themselves; where people did not wish to unite, where they relished their autonomy, where they nursed old grievances and sang the glories of vengeance raids, where they considered al...
2 123 The Blood people, the Kassars.
2 135 I knew, though, from the belt, though I first misread its purpose, that the owner was of the Paravaci, the Rich people, richest of the wagon dwellers.
3 21 More importantly, I did not wish to introduce myself to these people as an enemy.
5 77 Like the other women of the Wagons she wore no veil and, like them, fixed in her nose was the tiny, fine ring that proclaimed her people.
5 100 It was thus I first learned the name of the man whom I understood to be Ubar of this fierce people.
8 62 "Tospit!" called Conrad of the Kassars, the Blood people, and the girl hastened to set another fruit on the wand.
8 209 I was second rider to Kamchak, as Albrecht was to Conrad, he of the Kassars, the Blood people.
8 243 The problem of the young man, and perhaps the reason that he had not yet won even the Courage Scar of the Tuchuks, was that he had fallen into the hands of Turian raiders in his youth and had spent several years in the city; in his adolescence he had, at great risk to himself, escaped from the city ...
8 244 His parents and people had been slain in the Turian raid in which he had been captured, so he had no kin.
9 84 Many people scarcely glanced at us, in spite of the fact that we were theoretically blood foes.
9 468 "I will stand, I tell you! I will! I will!" "No," said Saphrar, "I cannot permit it—it is better that the people laugh at Aphris of Turia—and perhaps, in some years, they may forget".
10 51 "Take this," I said, "and go to Turia—find your people and be free".
10 262 The games of Love War, in themselves, do not constitute a gathering of the Wagon peoples, for normally the herds and the free women of the peoples do not approach one another at these times; only certain delegations of warriors, usually about two hundred from a peop...
10 289 I had also been informed by Kamchak that this places the girl farther from her own people.
10 297 The selection of the girls, incidentally, is determined by judges in their city, or of their own people, in Turia by members of the Caste of Physicians who have served in the great slave houses of Ar; among the wagons by the masters of the public slave wagons, who buy, sell and rent gi...
10 578 "Six years," said Kamchak, "before I was scarred was I mercenary in the guards of Ar, learning the walls and defenses of that city for my people.
12 14 I wondered if any in the camp of the Tuchuks realized how actually great indeed was the value of that golden sphere, containing undoubtedly the last hope of the people called Priest-Kings.
13 149 Behind them another four haruspexes, one from each people, carried a large wooden cage, made of sticks lashed together, which contained perhaps a dozen white vulos, domesticated pigeons.
15 2 The other Wagon peoples regarded the problem of the slaying of Kutaituchik and the despoiling of his wagon as one best left to the resources of the people of the four bosk horns.

2 74 The little thing, misshapen with its large head, scrambled limping and leaping like a broken-legged urt to the counter behind which stood the man in the grimy tunic, who was wiping out a paga bowl.
2 119 The eyes of tiny Hup were screwed shut, his body shivering like that of an urt clenched in the teeth of a sleen.
2 153 Hup seized up the coin of gold and scrambled from the room, like an urt running through the open gate of a trap.
18 374 I strode back to him, stepping aside not to brush against a wet, silken, blazing-eyed urt scampering along the edge of the corridor wall.
18 400 Startled by the light an urt scurried from my path, disappearing through a small crevice in the wall.
20 251 He sprang to his feet and began to leap up and down making noises like a scolding urt.
20 384 Then Hup gave a wild yip and turned a backward somersault and bounded suddenly, squealing like an urt, after a naked slave girl, one of those who had served the tables.
3 15 When the city of Ko-ro-ba had been destroyed by Priest-Kings and its people scattered, no two to stand together, the girl had disappeared.
5 531 A number of people had gathered about, among them several free women.
8 103 "Show me where the important people eat," I said.
12 112 "Candies!" Many of the people he passed turned away.
16 27 The great bars suspended about the walls of the city then ring out for more than an Ahn with their din, and the doors of the city burst open and the people crowd out onto the bridges, clad in the splendor of their finest, singing and laughing.
16 30 When the lanterns on the bridges must be lit the people return home, singing, carrying small lamps, and give the night over to feasting and love.
16 136 At the races Relius and Ho-Sorl unsnapped the slave leashes and, though in the stands, amid thousands of people, Virginia and Phyllis were free.
17 142 people seemed to care little for anything save the races and the games.
17 242 The fewer people who knew of the plan the better.
19 303 The Tuchuks, one of the distant Wagon peoples, tend to be, to those of northern Gor, a people of mystery and intrigue; to those of the southern plains, of course, they tend to be little more than efficient, fierce and dreaded foes.
21 387 "The people rise!" cried Ho-Sorl.
24 106 At times we walked up swirling gradients, at times stairs, swirling and broad, leading higher and higher into the cylinder; sometimes we walked through marble-floored passageways, in which, through narrow windows, designed to be too small for a body to pass, but large enough for use as crossbow port...

13 107 "urt, urt!" she cried.
12 42 Then I saw Clitus' net flash over my head and heard the confused protesting squeal of another urt, and then Clitus, again and again, was thrusting into the dark waters with his trident.
12 43 I felt my leg then caught in the jaws of an urt, like triple bands of steel, set with needles, and was dragged beneath the surface.
13 105 "urt!" she cried.
2 30 "Did you not see the warning marks," asked she, "the white marks, and the blood mark?" "I mean you," I said, "and your people, no harm".
3 16 "So," said Ho-Hak, regarding me, "you are on your way to Port Kar?" He sat upon a giant shell of the Vosk sorp, as on a sort of throne, which, for these people, I gather it was.
3 90 At such times there is drinking of rence beer, steeped, boiled and fermented from crushed seeds and the whitish pith of the plant; singing; games; contests and courtship, for the young people of the rence islands too seldom meet those of the other communities.
4 151 "We Rencers," she said, "are independent people.
5 170 Young people seldom see one another, saving those from the same tiny community.
5 180 The bantering of the young people in the morning, and the display of the girls in the evening, for in effect in the movements of the dance every woman is nude, have both, I expect, institutional roles to play in the life of the rence growers, significant roles analogous to the roles of...
8 475 "But I have won you and your people, and all these slaves," I told him, "that I might have my vengeance on you, for making me slave, and come rich with cargo to Port Kar!" "I expect that is not true," said Ho-Hak.
8 705 "When we have gone," I said, "free your people.
10 297 Trees may also be purchased from the Forest people, who will cut them in the winter, when they can be dragged on sleds to the sea.
16 333 Many of the boats we passed were crowded with frightened people and goods.
16 341 I saw bundles thrown down and arms unsheathed, and behind us, in throngs of thousands now, came the people of Port Kar, following us to the great piazza before the hall of the Council of Captains.
16 370 The people, as they can, flee.
16 373 "The people," said Antisthenes, "flee.
16 378 "The people flee," said Bejar.
16 388 "The people!" he cried.
16 419 "It is Bosk," cried the people.
16 421 I could see the canals far away, over the heads of the people, crowded even to the distant waters bordering the great piazza.
16 433 "You did not flee," I said, "nor did the others, nor have these people".
18 793 "My thanks to you and your people," said I.

13 318 There were small birds about, and I saw a scurrying brush urt, flowers, even a lovely, yellowish tabuk fawn.
13 422 It is some kind of brush urt, I think.
13 497 Occasionally I would supplement this diet with the raw flesh of small birds, or that of an occasional brush urt, which I would manage to snare.
15 133 I heard a tiny scurrying, of a tiny brush urt, in the darkness.
1 66 I knew that I was better than other people, and was not afraid to show them, in my manner, that this was true.
1 67 Interestingly, instead of being angered, most people, whatever may have been their private feelings, seemed impressed and a bit frightened of me.

2 196 Most of the people seemed poor, fishermen, sawyers, porters, peasants.
2 355 I heard the beams of the two doors of the temple being thrown in place, locking the people within.
3 6 people, merchants, the rich, the poor, fishermen, porters, fled toward the great doors, there to be cut down with axes.
3 19 The people, obediently, began to kneel on the dirt floor of the temple, their heads down.
3 35 I saw, twenty feet from me, screaming, the giant, he of incredible stature, striking down at the kneeling people, who were crying out and trying to crawl away.
3 44 Two men of Torvaldsland then held the giant by the arms, and lowered his ax, and, gently, turned him away from the people.
3 51 The people in the temple, many of them spattered with the blood of their neighbors, some severely wounded, threw themselves, shuddering, man and woman, and child, to their stomachs.
3 83 "Hurry! The people of the town will gather!" Swiftly, tearing hangings from the walls, prying loose sheets of gold, pulling down even lamps from their chains, filling their cloaks with cups and plates, the men of Torvaldsland stripped the temple of what they could tear loose and carry.
3 87 The Forkbeard then leaped over the rail of the sanctuary and strode among the people lying on their stomachs, the wall facing the Sardar being eaten by fire, illuminating the interior of the temple.
3 213 The people of Kassau, within the burning temple, cried out, startled.
3 221 "Leave it for the people to see," laughed Ivar.
3 234 We heard the people screaming outside.
3 261 We heard angry men running to the door, people turning, the movements of chains, flails and rakes.
3 273 Many of the peasants, and fishermen, and other poor people, who had not found places in the temple, turned about.
4 137 people would be less used to defending against it in the end game; its capacity to surprise, and to be used unexpectedly, might be genuinely profitable at such a time in the game.

17 138 There is some indirect evidence that this may be the case, because twelve "Marches" is referred to not as a Division or Army, or some such unit, but rather as a "people".
17 143 Not all of these "peoples" speak the same language, and, I gather, there are differences among them, and within, each people, for example, differences in marking, in texture of fur, in temperament, in tooth arrangement, in ear shape, and so on.

14 66 An urt skittered past her, having emerged from a crack in the floor between two stones and moved swiftly across the floor, along one wall, and vanished through the crack which had served as exit for its fellow a few moments earlier.
25 496 She cried out, miserably, as an urt scurried past, brushing her ankle.

16 74 Thus, if an urt manages to enter one area he has at his mercy only one captive, not five.
16 99 "Please! I will be silent, Master!" The sharp, furred, cold snout of an urt could now, as the gate lay against its bolts, thrust between the gate and the side of the cage.
16 112 In a few minutes, the man gone, I heard the urt, it or another, moving about on the wood between the meshes.
14 42 I saw the tracery of the bridges against the sky, the people moving about on them.
21 68 people stood on roofs.

2 289 A hundred or so feet away there was the small boat of an urt hunter.
2 293 The hunter stood behind her with his pronged urt spear.
2 294 These men serve an important function in Port Kar, which is to keep down the urt population in the canals.
2 305 The urt, being an air-breathing mammal, commonly makes its strike at the surface itself, approaching the quarry with its snout and eyes above the water, its ears laid back against the sides of its long, triangular head.
2 306 To be sure, sometimes the urt surfaces near the girl and approaches her with great rapidity.
2 308 In such a case, of course, the girl must depend for her life on the steady hand and keen eye, the swiftness, the strength and timing, the skill, of the urt hunter, her master.
2 309 Sometimes, incidentally, a master will rent his girl to an urt hunter, this being regarded as useful in her discipline.
2 338 I looked beyond Samos to the boat and urt hunter in the canal.

19 60 urt, or Cuwignaka, Woman's Dress, as he seemed to wish to be called, had been sitting in the grass, breathing deeply and rubbing his wrists and ankles.

1 797 They tend to be a more slender, longer-limbed people; their daughters menstruate earlier; and their babies are not born with a blue spot at the base of the spine, as is the case with most of the red hunters.

3 220 She was now only a filthy slave, an ignoble animal, something of no account, something worthless, obviously, but nonetheless permitted, in the kindness of the Kaiila, a woman of another people, to attempt to please the pole.
4 137 In doing this he had set an example to his people and, more importantly from Cuwignaka's point of view, acknowledged his right to remain with the Isbu.
7 109 There was laughter, and joking, the sounds of playing children, the calls of women, the shouts of men, the bustle of people moving about, many in their best, conversing, parading, visiting, occasionally the squeals of kaiila.

14 256 "The people do not hurt Nim Nim!" I wondered if somewhere in that vast pack of animals there might be other representatives of the urt people.
13 3 Behind me, on his straw, crouched the small, narrow-shouldered, spindle-legged representative of the urt people.
13 158 Behind me, on his straw, crouched the small, narrow-shouldered, spindle-legged representative of the urt people.
13 223 The representative of the urt people and I complied.
13 229 The evening of my second day in this captivity, which was the fourth following my capture, the representative of the urt people had been thrust in with me.
13 236 If I had thought there would have been, I would have posted the representative of the urt people near the bars and, presumably warned by him in time of any approach on the part of a jailer, replaced the table carefully in its original position.
13 250 The representative of the urt people regarded me, narrowly, furtively, fearfully.
13 253 The representative of the urt people then scurried to his food and, by one edge of the tray, with a scraping noise of metal on stone, dragged it quickly over to his straw.
13 267 I looked back at the representative of the urt people.
13 276 It was one of the urt people.
13 282 Sometimes such packs pass civilized areas and observers are not even aware of the urt people traveling with them.
13 299 The urt people, I understood, were fond of pit fruit.
13 327 The urt people, as I understood it, commonly communicate among themselves in the pack by means of such signals.

13 335 The urt people learn quickly.
14 45 The eyes of the urt people, I gathered, adjusted very quickly to darkness.
14 276 How, then, could the urt people, who were obviously human, or something like human, run with impunity with them? It made no sense.
14 305 In this fashion I supposed the urt people might speak with one another.
14 370 How, I wondered, did the first of the urt people gain admittance to their packs.
14 374 This secret, in the successive generations, might have been lost to the urt people, or, perhaps, it had been deliberately allowed to vanish in time by the discoverers of the secret, that others could not reveal it, or take advantage of it, to their detriment.
14 375 Now, I supposed, the urt people, their children and such, would simply grow up with the packs, thinking perhaps that this was just the way things had been, inexplicably, or naturally, from time immemorial.
14 467 This was the only concrete sign I had to suggest that there might be urt people traveling with the pack.

17 83 We must now be closer to the square, as it seemed there were more people in the street.
17 116 I knew I must obey well in such a place, among such people.
17 255 But, also today I was charged with seeing the square, the buildings, and the people of Market of Semris.
20 166 "Yes," said the people.

7 339 "She, in her own name, and in the name of the people and Home Stone of Ar, gives thanks to our friends and brothers of Cos, for the delivery of her city from the tyranny of Gnieus Lelius and for the liberation of her people!" At this point, doubtless by a prearranged sign...
3 892 The lowest value on a single die is the "urt".

11 370 But this girl was actually very quiet, lying like a caressable, silken little urt in the chest.
18 59 "The villain, the fat urt, the rogue, the rascal?" asked the fellow.
18 162 An urt hurried down the stairs and darted along the side of the wall and through a crack in the wall.
1 316 Further, though there was much talk in the city of resistance, of the traditions of Ar, of her Home Stone, and such, I did not think that the people of Ar, stunned and confused by the apparently inexplicable succession of recent disasters, had the will to resist the Cosia...
1 317 Perhaps if there had been a Marlenus of Ar in the city, a Ubar, one to raise the people and lead them, there might have been hope.
1 334 The people in the street hurried to press against the walls.
1 340 It surprised me that the people were kneeling, for, commonly, free Goreans do not kneel, even in the temples of the Initiates.
1 431 "The people of Ar are frightened," said Marcus.
2 77 Too, of course, these days, in the vicinity of Ar, given the movements of Cos on the continent, and the consequent displacements and flights of people, there were medleys of accents in and about Ar.
2 106 The purpose of this display was to permit the people of Ar, and elsewhere, if they wished, to vent their displeasure upon the stone, insulting it, spitting upon it, and such.
6 35 What does it say?" "'Greetings from Lurius of Jad, Ubar of Cos, to the people of Glorious Ar,'" read a man, rather slowly, pointing to letters with his fingers, which led me to believe that his literacy was not likely to be much advanced over that of the other.
6 45 "'Know, people of Glorious Ar,'" the man continued to read, "'that Cos is your friend.
6 49 "'Cos has no quarrel with the people of Ar, whom it reveres and respects.
7 215 "Myron, polemarkos of Cos!" I saw nothing for a time but the crowd, the platform, the people on the platform, and Cosians, for several yards to the right, standard bearers, some even bearing the standards of mercenary companies, probably not in the march, such as that of Raymond Rive-d...
7 333 "And greetings, too," called Myron, "to our friends and brothers, the noble people of Ar!" The crowd looked at one another.
7 534 Few people, too, were about.

9 471 "Enemy of Ar, enemy of the people of Ar, enemy of the Home Stone of Ar, Claudia Tentia Hinrabia," said Talena, "you are to be embonded, and before nightfall".
9 594 The free, native population of Ar, though there are no certain figures on the matter even in the best of times, and, given the flight of many from the city, conjectures have become even more hazardous, is commonly estimated at between two and three million people.
9 868 Among the people we did pass, or who were passing by, few seemed to take much interest in the coffle.
10 15 At last, in view of the distinct unrest in the city, and the possible danger of riots and demonstrations, a communication was received from the Central Cylinder, jointly presented by Talena, Ubara of Ar; Seremides, captain of the guard; Antonius, executive officer of the High Council; Tulbinius, Chi...

13 1452 But in that sense the opinion of an urt or sleen, or any other form of animal, might not be worthless.
14 1220 "Clumsy, collared she-urt!" screamed the offended woman.
15 4 Sometimes an urt, a small rodent, not like the large urts in the pool, scurried past.
18 266 "I am sorry that I had you whipped!" That had occurred in my first day in the depths, when she was still the occupant of a dangling slave cage, suspended over a pool to which large aquatic rodents, one variety of urt, had access.
19 896 "Is this your petty vengeance on a free woman," she asked, angrily, "you illiterate, stupid, sleek, embonded, collared little she-urt?" "I do not think I am smaller than you," I said.
19 898 "I, you illiterate, collared she-urt?" "You were brought here hooded," I said.
37 276 "To the urt pool," said the pit master, reluctantly.
37 321 "It is an urt".
37 342 "Will the urt charge?" asked the lieutenant.
37 349 But the urt did turn then, of its own accord, and scampered back down the passageway.
37 389 The darkness of the walk ringing the urt pool was behind.
37 391 That must be the Lady Ilene, whom I had met in the chamber of the commercial praetor, kept now, I knew, pending the arrival of her ransom, in the tiny cage suspended over the urt pool, that cage which had been for some time the residence of the Lady Constanzia, that cage which could be...
37 395 The woman was screaming, from within, over the urt pool.
37 404 From within, over the urt pool, we could still hear the screaming of the woman.
37 405 "It is a dead urt!" said a man, suddenly.
37 412 The urts now dragged the body of the dead urt, now half eaten, its bones about, to the wall, where they continued their feeding.
37 416 "How did the urt die?" asked a man.
37 424 "There is a quarrel in the urt!" said a man, suddenly, the beasts, in their feeding, moving about.
37 464 I was, at the time, confused, sick, afraid, almost unable to stand, waiting there in the darkness, with the others, not knowing if something, an urt, or the prisoner, armed, intent, might suddenly be upon us, perhaps slashing to one side or the other, in some eagerness to get at the me...
37 467 The prisoner had apparently lifted the panels to the urt nest, permitting them access to the walkway, the gate having been raised to permit them, or some at least, into the passageway, the gate then being lowered.
37 468 It is terribly dangerous, of course, to trap an urt against a barrier, as it will then fight with terrible ferocity.
37 473 By the time it had been determined that the victim was another urt the men would have been within range.
37 507 This new arrangement, that of five groups, made possible a more diversified deployment of the men, presumably an advantage on the walkway about the urt pool.
37 580 An urt, on the walkway, at their approach, had scrambled over the railing, and dived into the pool.
37 583 And I saw the wet, glistening head of an urt, just at the surface.
37 586 This was not the urt which had just entered the pool.
37 593 "urt!" cried Tira, pointing.
37 621 When one urt leaves the nest, others tend to follow.
37 714 We spun about and saw the Lady Ilene, her small ankles tied together, her hands tied behind her back, a rope under her arms, swinging over the dark waters of the urt pool.

10 97 As many companionships are arranged between families, with considerations not of love, or even of attraction, paramount, but of wealth, prestige, status, and such, and the young people often being scarcely considered in the matter, this is, I suppose, understandable.

26 62 Pani of the peasant classes tend to be polite, stolid, resigned, and reconciled, at least until a breaking point is reached, at which time they may become as secretive and clever as the urt, as subtle as the ost, as dangerous as the cornered sleen, as fierce as the enraged larl, discov...
29 234 "Tarsk," she said, "urt, sleen!" "Stand as what you are," I said, "stand as the most exciting, beautiful, helpless, vulnerable, and desirable of women, as a slave".
29 542 "It is an old word for an urt," he said.
44 114 An urt would be fortunate to slip from the camp otherwise".
61 1235 Do you think men are so willing to relinquish manhood, or so stupid as to submit like dumb animals to their impoverishment, belling, and slaughter? Even the mighty larl can be brought down by a swarm of squealing urts, but this does not prove the superiority of the urt to...

68 354 "I have no doubt that it is an urt, fishing in a garbage can, doubtless half starved," said Kurik, "but it is a foolish urt who will make a sound within the hearing of a free person".
9 428 The urt who nibbles the cheese of a Ubar, even from his plate, does not insult the Ubar.
9 429 Would the Ubar not be thought strange, or even mad, if he thought himself insulted by the urt? The sleen who hisses at a hunter does not thereby become the equal of the hunter".
21 13 Were the beautiful lines of the leaping, fleet tabuk not fashioned by the artistry of the larl, its claws and fangs; did the same blind, nameless gods not balance the swirling school of parsit fish against the strike of the swift-swimming shark; the keenness of the hawk's eye against the tiny ...
43 67 Similarly one would not expect a sleen, or a pet urt, to be either moral or immoral.
50 116 "You worthless, deceitful she-urt," he said, "I am mindful to relieve you of your harnessing.
50 118 So you would serve my pleasure, would you? Splendid! How generous! But know this, worthless she-urt, and know it well.
50 253 "Collared she-urt!" screamed the Lady Alexina.
55 97 One would be better advised to die for an urt".
68 353 "There is no one there," I said, "or it is an urt, fishing in a garbage can".
1 56 Were humans not essentially unreal, a fraud, unlike the lion and the hawk, more honest forms of life? Were human beings not a counterfeit currency of sorts, masquerading as a genuine life form?

11 101 The slave girls of urt hunters are often called urt girls.
11 77 How wonderful to belong, to be literally owned! And yet, sometimes, too, the collar has its miseries and terrors, for in it we are so vulnerable and helpless! To my left there was a sudden stir, and splash, in the water, and I spun about on the walkway in time to see a large urt submer...
11 87 The number of urts in the canals are reduced by licensed urt hunters.
11 89 The hunter is armed with an urt spear, which is essentially a light harpoon with its attached rope, the coils of which are layered in a wooden bucket near the bow of the craft.
11 92 The urt then is essentially fished for.

11 96 Should the urt turn in the water and orient itself toward the bait, the hunter rises to his feet, the spear ready.
11 97 Much may then happen very quickly, as the urt, in the water, over short distances, can move with great swiftness.
11 100 In any event, as the urt rushes to make its strike, to seize its prey, the hunter launches his harpoon.
11 103 It may, however, when applied to other women, be used as an epithet, as though it were comparing the girl, or woman, to an urt.
11 104 The slavery of the urt girl is not regarded as a desirable slavery.
11 106 She may even be dragged to the boat, the urt still clinging to her body.
11 107 The urt, in such a case, is an exposed, easy target.
11 109 urt girls are often recognized by means of the scarring on legs and arms.
11 110 In some cities, free women found guilty of criminal offenses are remanded to Port Kar, with the understanding that they will be branded and collared, and used as urt girls.

17 24 The second incident, which may have an altogether different explanation, had to do with an urt girl.
39 6 "It is a tiny urt.
42 168 "I would sooner believe an urt," she whispered.
4 260 Many people are unaware they have an accent, though it is clear enough to others, those who do not share the accent.
32 98 If one is on all sides, how can one help but be on the losing side, as well? Few people who knew Bruno of Torcadino, for example, I was sure, would have cared to betray him.
33 160 "I give greetings to the nameless lord, he rightfully foremost amongst his people, wrongfully banished from a far world, planner of deep deeds, master of lightning and fire, bender of iron, terror of the delta, ruler of the marshes, dispenser of largesse," called out he who was in the ...

22 129 "It is even worse here, in The Gambling Tent of the Golden urt," said Sakim.
22 138 "In The Gambling Tent of the Golden urt," said Sakim, "business flourished for them, pouches and wallets of coins were lavished on the games".

27 12 "And in this house, The House of the Golden urt," said Clitus, "there is little danger of that".
27 13 The Gambling House of the Golden urt, managed by the 'Three Ubaras', was on Garland Street in Sybaris.
27 124 "Let it not be said that The House of the Golden urt is not hospitable," she said.
27 181 "Do so," I said, "and, if you do not accept, Archelaos will find three others, three new 'Ubaras', if you like, and transfer The House of the Golden urt to them".
29 56 Therefore, let us close this pleasant evening with a grateful toast to you, all three of you, our gracious guests, the 'Three Ubaras', Mistresses of The House of the Golden urt, the noble, and perhaps lovely, ladies Melete, Iantha, and Philomena".
29 153 "By now," I said, "I would suppose that there are three new 'Ubaras' in Sybaris, managing The House of the Golden urt".
36 123 The House of the Golden urt in Sybaris has reopened.
36 151 "Perhaps the new 'Three Ubaras' could use you to tenant the side rooms in The House of the Golden urt," I said.
36 207 "Think back," I said, "long before the fair, something alluded to, perhaps in passing, say, in The House of the Golden urt, over cups, a remark overheard, a sentence begun and then, obviously, not finished".
36 247 One could always hope, too, that the corsairs, if victorious, might not recognize them as those who had once been the 'Three Ubaras', those of the gambling house, The House of the Golden urt.
37 25 Their mooring ropes, fastened to shore cleats at stem and stern, with their conical or disklike urt guards, would, as they lifted and tightened, shed water in a rain of sunlit droplets, and then, again, relaxing, would loop downward, settling again into the water.
