1 139 I think I will carry its simple, abrupt message burned into the cells of my brain until, as it is elsewhere said, I have returned to the cities of dust.
 7
20 14 The Home Stones of the Twelve Tributary cities were returned, and those men who had served Pa-Kur from those cities were allowed to return to their cities rejoicing.
 6
5 45 The Home Stone of Ar, like most Home Stones in the cylinder cities, was kept free on the tallest tower, as if in open defiance of the tarnsmen of rival cities.
 6
8 152 "Ko-ro-ba is one of the few cities my father feared," said Talena, "because he realized it might someday be effective in organizing other cities against him.
 6
16 84 "Why should not the free cities of Gor unite to defeat Pa-Kur?" "The cities never unite," responded Kazrak.
 6
17 33 Needless to say, his claim was not acknowledged by the Chief Initiates of Gor's free cities, who regarded themselves as sovereign in their own cities.
 6
20 27 The free cities of Gor appointed Kazrak, my sword brother, to be temporary administrator of Ar, for it was he who, with the help of my father and Sana of Thentis, had rallied the cities to raise the siege.
 6
3 7 "Have I nothing better to do? Have I not a thousand scrolls gathering dust on my shelves, unread, unstudied?" "I don't know," I said.
 6
3 240 Some dust blew against my face.
 6
7 225 She paid her rescuers no more attention, treating them as if they were no more worthy of her gratitude than the dust beneath her feet.
 6
16 38 One of Pa-Kur's towers was undermined, and it tilted crazily and they crashed into the dust, amidst the screaming of its doomed occupants.
 6
19 55 The approaching swarm of Pa-Kur's horde was visible, and the dust rose a thousand feet into the air.
 6
19 113 Not even a scream came from that fierce blue combustive mass that had been a human being, and in a minute the flame had departed, almost as quickly as it had come, and a dust of ashes scattered from the top of the cylinder in the wind.

7 73 "Returned from the cities of dust," gasped the warrior.
 7
7 75 "Better you had gone to the cities of dust," said Thorn.
 7
7 97 "Better to have gone to the cities of dust than to be Tarl of Ko-ro-ba," he said.
 7
14 11 Among warriors, the bite of an ost is thought to be one of the most cruel of all gates to the cities of dust; far preferable to them are the rending beak, the terrible talons of a tarn.
 7
22 26 Put the cities of dust from your mind".
 7
2 46 Of course, as every Gorean knows, cities too are mortal, for cities can be destroyed as well as men.
 6
6 5 Torm, my friend of the Caste of Scribes, had been to such fairs to trade scrolls with scholars from other cities, men he would never have seen were it not for the fairs, men of hostile cities who yet loved ideas more than they hated their enemies, men like Torm who so lov...
 6
8 57 This was perhaps because the cylinders were, on the whole, less lofty than those of other cities, and much broader, giving an impression of a set of squat, accumulated disks, so different from the lofty forests of sky-challenging towers and battlements distinguishing most Gorean ...
 6
8 109 Since the siege of Ar, when Pa-Kur, Master Assassin, had violated the limits of his caste and had presumed, in contradiction to the traditions of Gor, to lead a horde upon the city, intending to make himself Ubar, the Caste of Assassins had lived as hated, hunted men, no longer esteemed mercenaries ...

18 55 Then I began to encourage them to speak to one another, and to call one another by their names, and their cities, and though there were men of different cities there, they shared the same chain and trough, and they accepted one another.

1 100 He had won his freedom though it had, as the Goreans say, led him to the cities of dust, where, I think, not even Priest-Kings care to follow.
 7
9 156 "Then," she gloated, "she is in the cities of dust".
 7
1 35 I wished that I had had longer to visit the fair, for on another occasion at another time I should have sought eagerly to examine its wares, drink at its taverns, talk with its merchants and attend its contests, for these fairs are free ground for the many competitive, hostile Gorean cities 6
1 83 The fact that warriors of one city sometimes wear the insignia of cities hostile to their own when they make these attacks further compounds the suspicions and internecine strife which afflicts the Gorean cities.
 6
33 112 Perhaps, if they were silent, they might return to the surface, but even then, probably not to their own cities, for the Initiates of their cities would undoubtedly recall that they had left for, and perhaps entered, the Sardar.
 6
35 34 The ships that had sped from the Sardar had now returned, for, as I had feared, they were not made welcome by the cities of Gor, nor by the Initiates, and those who had ridden the ships had not been accepted by their cities.
 6
35 36 In the end, those humans who wished to remain on the surface had landed elsewhere, far from their native cities, and scattered themselves as vagabonds about the roads and alien cities of the planet.
 6
14 181 "I dug this chamber myself," he said, "and day by day over the lifetimes of many Muls I took a bit of rock dust away and scattered it here and there unobserved in the tunnels".
 6
29 10 I could see no beam extend from these projections but where they pointed I saw material objects seem to shake and shudder and then vanish in a fog of dust.
 6
29 108 I flashed my ship to the ground only an instant before the entire ship above me seemed to explode silently in a storm of metallic dust glinting in the light of the energy bulbs above.
 6
30 17 I recalled the man from Ar, met on the lonely road to Ko-ro-ba long ago, who like a robot had been forced to obey the signals of Priest-Kings until at last he had tried to throw over the net, and its overload had burned away the insides of his skull, giving him at last the freedom of his own mortal ...
 6
31 156 A drift of dust from the rubble obscured Sarm's figure for a moment.
 6
31 215 More rock dust drifted between me and the pair locked in the embrace of death.
 6
32 4 I looked to the body of Sarm, golden and broken, lying among the rubble on the floor, half covered in the powdery dust that hung like fog in the room.
 6
32 91 Drifting dust obscured the complex and I drew the folds of Vika's robes more about her face that she might be better protected.
 6
32 92 Misk's body was coated with dust and I felt it in my hair and eyes and throat.
 6
32 95 I supposed the dust that clung to his thorax and abdomen, that adhered to the sensory hairs on his appendages might be distressing to him, more so perhaps than the fear that he might be totally crushed by one of the great blocks of stone that occasionally fell clattering near us.
 6
32 153 At that moment, through the drifting rock dust, I saw the heavy, domed body of one of the Golden Beetles, perhaps fifty yards away.
 6
32 159 Suddenly, through the rock dust, I could scent that strange narcotic odor.
 6
32 177 He stood shuddering in the drifting rock dust, amid the crashings of distant rocks.
 6
32 199 I wondered how long it would take before it broke apart and scattered in a belt of dust across the solar system, only to bend inward at last and spiral like a falling bird into the gases of the burning sun.
 6
32 216 Vika still lay unconscious in my arms and I had folded her robes about her in order to protect her face and eyes and throat from the rock dust below.

11 126 She was gasping and stumbling; her body glistened with perspiration; her legs were black with wet dust; her hair was tangled and thick with dust; her feet and ankles were bleeding; her calves were scratched and speckled with the red bites of rennels.

21 259 The narrow column, and probably the Tuchuk spacing, a Hundred and then the space for a Hundred, open, and then another Hundred, and so on, tends to narrow the front of dust, and the spaces between Hundreds give time for some of the dust to dissipate and also, incidentally...

2 90 It would not, of course, be to the benefit of Turia, or the farther cities, or, indeed, any of the free cities of even northern Gor, if the isolated fierce peoples of the south were to join behind a single standard and turn their herds northward—away from their dry...
 6
1 46 Too in the distance I saw dust, rising like a black, raging dawn, raised by the hoofs of innumerable animals, not those that fled, but undoubtedly by the bosk herds of the Wagon Peoples.
 6
1 60 Now there seemed to be fewer men and animals rushing past, scattered over the prairie; only the wind remained; and the fires in the distance, and the swelling, nearing roll of dust that drifted into the stained sky.
 6
1 67 I began to walk toward the dust in the distance, across the trembling ground.
 6
2 24 The dust rolled nearer, the ground seemed more to move than ever.
 6
2 54 I was surprised at the distance I had been from the herds, for though I had seen the rolling dust clearly, and had felt and did feel the shaking of the earth, betraying the passage of those monstrous herds, I had not yet come to them.
 6
2 56 The dust was now heavy like nightfall in the air.
 6
2 59 Then for the first time, against the horizon, a jagged line, humped and rolling like thundering waters, seemed to rise alive from the prairie, vast, extensive, a huge arc, churning and pounding from one corner of the sky to the other, the herds of the Wagon Peoples, encircling, raising dust 6
2 65 I also noted, about his throat, now lowered, there was a soft leather wind scarf which might, when the helmet veil was lifted, be drawn over the mouth and nose, against the wind and dust of his ride.
 6
2 107 The head of the kaiila bears two large eyes, one on each side, but these eyes are triply lidded, probably an adaptation to the environment which occasionally is wracked by severe storms of wind and dust; the adaptation, actually a transparent third lid, permits the animal to move as it...
 6
3 101 I fished the necklace from the dust with the point of my spear and regarded it in the sun.
 6
3 119 I could now see the herds quite clearly, making out individual animals, the shaggy humps moving through the dust, see the sun of the late afternoon glinting off thousands of horns.
 6
3 121 The sun reflected from the horns in the veil of dust that hung over the herds was quite beautiful.
 6
5 68 The interiors of the wagons, lashed shut, protected from the dust of the march, are often rich, marvelously carpeted and hung, filled with chests and silks, and booty from looted caravans, lit by hanging tharlarion-oil lamps, the golden light of which falls on the silken cushions, the ...

8 37 From these raids the Wagon Peoples obtain a miscellany of goods which they are willing to barter to the Turians, jewels, precious metals, spices, colored table salts, harnesses and saddles for the ponderous tharlarion, furs of small river animals, tools for the field, scholarly scrolls, inks and pap...
 6
10 83 When I had lifted her to her feet I noted, in the distance, a bit of dust moving from one of the gates of the city towards us, probably two or three warriors mounted on high tharlarion.
 6
10 94 The dust was now nearing.
 6
10 202 From the back of the kaiila I could now see dust from Turia.
 6
21 20 Far beyond the wagons I could see the herds of bosk, and the dust from their hoofs stained the horizon.
 6
21 65 It took him only a few moments to discover the value of the stones and, when he did, with a cry of disgust, he hurled them away from the gate into the dust, and the two warriors, while I pretended fright and pain, belabored me with the hilts of their weapons.
 6
21 67 I hobbled after the stones, and fell to my knees in the dust, scrabbling after them, moaning and crying aloud.
 6
21 74 I lunged forward seizing him by the legs and upended him in the dust and then leaped to my feet and ran, the hood flying off behind me.
 6
21 77 The bolt of a crossbow splattered into a brick wall on my right, gouging a cupful of masonry loose in chips and dust.
 6
21 224 Then I noted, across the prairie, hardly remarking it, a streak of dust in the sky.
 6
21 231 The streak of dust was now more evident.
 6
21 244 She, too, saw the dust.
 6
21 256 The dust was closer now.
 6
21 258 Judging from the dust, its dimensions, its speed of approach, the riders, perhaps hundreds of them, the first wave, were riding in a narrow column, at full gallop.
 6
21 284 The wagon bosk, upset by the running men, the shouting and the clank of arms about them, were bellowing wildly and throwing their heads up and down, stomping and pawing in the dust.
 6
21 314 Almost instantly there was a wild cry, the war cry of the Tuchuks, and the first five kaiila leaped from outside the gate onto the top of the wagon, finding firm footing on what I had taken to be simple rain canvas, but actually was canvas stretched over a load of rocks and earth, accounting for the...

27 13 Few it seemed to me, surprisingly perhaps, much objected to leaving the luxurious delights of the gardens of Saphrar for the freedom of the winds and prairies, the dust, the smell of bosk, the collar of a man who would master them utterly but before whom they would stand as human shes,...

17 137 Many cities celebrate it on the last day of the Twelfth Passage Hand, the day before the beginning of the Waiting Hand; in Ar, however, and certain other cities, it is celebrated on the last day of the fifth month, which is the day preceding the Love Feast.

19 426 I looked to the tracks in the dust of the stable yard, left by the wagon which had borne Telitsia away.
 6
21 465 I turned about, again, and saw her, drawing her tiny slave rag over her head, carefully descending the ramp, her small feet leaving prints in the incline's dust.
 6
25 342 I then stood barefoot in the dust of the road.

10 8 Indeed, it was through the dust Legs that most of the goods of the interior might reach civilization, the dust Legs, in effect, acting as agents and intermediaries.
 6
10 43 "To raise dust like that, in this terrain," said Grunt, "you must ride across draws, rather than avoid them, and you must ride in a cluster, where the dust will rise, cloudlike, rather than rise and fall, in a narrow line, swiftly dissipated by the wind".
 6
10 48 "That dust," he said, "does not rise from the paws of the kaiila of dust Legs, nor of Yellow Knives nor Fleer.
 6
1 1258 The object, then, through trade channels, would have come, I supposed, to one of the high cities, perhaps Thentis, the nearest of the large cities to the Barrens.
 6
17 97 If there is a difference, it is that in the Gorean cities, or at least the "high cities," it is unusual for a slave to be nude publicly, unless she is being exhibited or sold, whereas in the tribal villages it is not that unusual.
 6
1 1369 I half shut my eyes against the dust and debris which struck against my face.
 6
3 144 The fort itself, incidentally, was twice burned, once by soldiers from Port Olni, before that town joined the Salerian Confederation, and once by marauding dust Legs, a tribe of red savages, from the interior of the Barrens.
 6
4 18 "He speaks some dust Leg, and some of the talk of other tribes," said the fellow.
 6
4 178 Ahead, on the road, there was a rolling cloud of dust.
 6
4 190 They were covered with dust.
 6
4 195 "dust Legs," said the officer with the men.
 6
4 201 "It is unusual, is it not, for the dust Legs to be on the rampage?" I asked.
 6
4 220 "I would not expect even dust Legs to resist this cargo".
 6
4 235 "It is not like the dust Legs," he said.
 6
5 72 I supposed such forces might indeed enter the Barrens and wreak some havoc, perhaps falling upon some dust-Leg villages.
 6
5 94 "Urt, a dust Leg, a slave," said the officer.
 6
5 96 He can speak with dust Legs, and knows sign".
 6
5 101 "dust Legs," said the officer.
 6
5 104 "You are not a dust Leg," I said to the boy.
 6
5 142 They would surely have tried, at least in the beginning, to work through local traders or, say, dust Legs themselves.
 6
5 154 There had been no slave wagons in the lines, nor, chained in throat coffle, trudging in the dust behind the supply wagons, any slave girls.
 6
8 704 You are less than the dust beneath their feet".
 6
8 950 Too, it saves on tunics or such, which, in the wind and rain, and heat and dust, might be ruined or soiled in the march.
 6
10 1 I See dust Behind Us "You are aware, are you not," I asked Grunt, "that we are being followed?" "Yes," he said.
 6
10 5 "Are we not yet in the country of the dust Legs?" I inquired.
 6
10 7 Most trading was done with dust Legs.
 6
10 12 Although small trading groups were welcomed in the country of the dust Legs, such groups seldom penetrated the more interior territories.
 6
10 19 "They are not dust Legs," he said.
 6
10 22 We observed the dust in the distance, some pasangs across the prairie.
 6
10 26 "Observe the dust," he said.
 6
10 29 "Accordingly," said Grunt, "you conjecture that the dust is raised by the paws of running kaiila".
 6
10 39 "You can detect that dust," he said.
 6
10 52 This arrangement not only obscures their numbers but lowers and narrows the dust line".
 6
10 56 "Observe the front of dust.
 6
10 116 I looked back at the approaching dust.
 6
12 11 "It is clean work," said Grunt, "the work of dust Legs".
 6
12 36 "This is the work of dust Legs".
 6
12 93 "It is a present to me, from my friends, the dust Legs," laughed Grunt, "the leaders of those who followed us".
 6
12 129 "Thus do the dust Legs demean you," said Grunt, "treating you as no more than women".
 6
12 149 "I do not suppose the dust Legs would object," I said.
 6
14 1 It is a Good Trading; Pimples; I Learn Something of the Waniyanpi; Corn Stalks; Sign; Grunt and I Will Proceed East The red-haired girl cried out in pain and fear, struck from her knees back in the grass by the plump, scornful woman of the red savages, a sturdy-legged matron of the dust 6
14 4 "Wowiyutanye!" hissed the dust-Leg woman at the frightened girl lying on her side in the grass before her.
 6
14 8 The dust-Leg woman threw the girl to her right side in the grass and pulled up the tunic on her left thigh.
 6
14 10 "Inahan!" called the dust-Leg woman to the others about, pointing to the brand on the girl's thigh.
 6
14 20 The dust-Leg woman turned away from her and came over to where I sat behind the blanket.
 6
14 22 The dust Legs, on the whole, are an affable, open-hearted and generous people.
 6
14 39 I do not think that she had personally offended the dust-Leg woman.
 6
14 40 I think it was rather that the dust-Leg woman simply did not entertain any great affection for white female slaves.
 6
14 42 The dust-Leg woman carefully examined the small mirror.
 6
14 43 I looked beyond her, to a few yards away, where several kaiila, of the visiting dust Legs, were tethered.
 6
14 44 There, with the animals, there knelt a white female slave of the dust Legs, another of their animals, a two-legged one, and lovely legs they were indeed, doubtless by the paws of her master's beast.
 6
14 46 She was wet with sweat and dark with dust.
 6
14 48 Her legs, bloodied and muchly scratched, were black with dust and sweat.
 6
14 49 Here and there one could see where the trickle of perspiration had run through the dust.
 6
14 50 On her thighs where she had rubbed her hands the dust was streaked in wet smears.
 6
14 52 Grunt was engaged in conversation with four or five of the dust-Leg men.
 6
14 54 The female slave of the dust Legs, kneeling by the kaiila, wore a beaded collar, about an inch and a half in height.
 6
14 70 "Two," said the dust-Leg woman, in Gorean, holding up two fingers.
 6
14 76 "Five," I suggested to the dust-Leg woman.
 6
14 78 I smiled when I made this suggestion to the dust-Leg woman.
 6
14 87 These, at any rate, were the sentiments of Grunt, who seemed popular with the dust Legs, and, as far as I can tell, they are substantially sound.
 6
14 88 I glanced again to the white female slave of the dust Legs, kneeling, eyes down, in her beaded collar, by the kaiila.
 6
14 90 It was easy to see why dust-Leg men might find such goods of interest.
 6
14 92 I could also see why dust-Leg women could view such a commodity with distaste and contempt.
 6
14 93 How could they, free, begin to compete with a slave? How could they even begin to do so, unless they, themselves, also became slaves? "Two," said the dust-Leg woman.
 6
14 100 One of the dust-Leg men was examining, with great care, the hatchet which Grunt had shown him.
 6
14 107 He then began to pass out, to the dust-Leg men and women about, pieces of candy, lumps of cake sugar and flakes of dried molasses.
 6
14 124 "Two," said the dust-Leg woman to me.
 6
14 150 "Four," I said to the dust-Leg woman.
 6
14 153 "Winyela," said the dust-Leg woman, in disgust, glancing behind me to the red-haired girl.
 6
14 157 "Winyela," said the dust-Leg woman, and spat into the grass.
 6
14 158 A few yards away, near the kaiila, the white slave girl of the dust Legs kept her head down, not daring to raise it.
 6
14 191 He then looked to the dust Legs.
 6
14 197 The dust Leg then, with a rawhide thong, stepped into the ring in the grass.
 6
14 244 He was speaking to her in dust Leg, slowly and clearly.
 6
14 249 I, myself, though I had acquired a few words of dust Leg, had little more idea, specifically, of what the youth was saying than the girl did.
 6
14 262 "Winyela," said the dust-Leg woman, scornfully.
 6
14 284 "Winyela," snorted the dust-Leg woman, contemptuously.
 6
14 303 I glanced to where the kaiila of the dust Legs were located.
 6
14 314 Certainly the dust Legs who, like most red savages, are an inquisitive, observant folk, would be curious as to the precise nature of the goods which lay beneath that robe.
 6
14 393 I then went over to the kailiauk hide where one of the dust Legs was standing.
 6
14 396 "Hou," I said to the dust Leg.
 6
14 398 "Ieska!" called one of the dust Legs, rising to his feet, from where the men had been sitting.
 6
14 437 The dust Legs had traded for the girls, not their tunics.
 6
14 453 Too, its cut, fringing, and beading doubtless identified it as dust Leg.
 6
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.
 6
14 460 The dust Leg requested that the kailiauk hide be thrown aside.
 6
14 469 One or two of the other dust Legs now came over to where lay the kailiauk hide, concealing Margaret, the stripped English girl.
 6
14 470 The first dust Leg was now showing signs of impatience.
 6
14 474 The dust Leg doubtless realized this.
 6
14 479 Suddenly the dust Leg, Grunt speaking to him, broke out in laughter.
 6
14 481 The dust Leg, if interested, was to bid, sight unseen, on what lay beneath the kailiauk hide.
 6
14 483 The matter now put in a clearer light, the dust Leg, and his fellows, were delighted.
 6
14 494 What was going on, further, could not be clearly understood unless it is understood that the dust Legs knew and respected, and liked, Grunt.
 6
14 496 Theoretically, one supposes, a high bid might be made on what lay concealed beneath the hide and then the hide, the bid accepted, might be withdrawn to reveal a wench as ugly as a tharlarion, but the dust Legs knew, in the practical context, that Grunt would not do this to them.
 6
14 499 The dust Leg refused, with great drama, to go higher than two hides for what lay beneath the hide.
 6
14 505 The two friends of the dust Leg shouted out with pleasure and, striking him about the shoulders and back, congratulated him on his good fortune.
 6
14 507 The dust Leg, more than pleased, tried to get Grunt to accept at least one extra hide for the girl, but this, of course, Grunt magnanimously refused to do.
 6
14 509 He was, after all, was he not, a merchant? Margaret was jerked to her knees and the dust Leg tied his beaded collar on her throat.
 6
14 513 We watched the dust Legs mounting up now, most of them, both men and women, preparing to take their leave.
 6
14 522 We watched the dust Legs moving away, across the grasses.
 6
14 538 This was the last trading point in the territory of the dust Legs.
 6
14 539 It did not seem to me likely that more dust Legs were to be expected, certainly not for some time.
 6
14 550 "She speaks dust Leg," he said.
 6
14 588 Most of the dust and blood, the grime, the dirt and sweat, had been washed away.
 6
14 593 "Master does not speak dust Leg or Kaiila?" she asked.
 6
14 673 "What was your name among the dust Legs?" I asked.
 6
14 901 Although the Fleer speak a language clearly akin to Kaiila and dust Leg there had often been strife among them.
 6
14 903 If the dust Legs knew of his presence in their country they had not chosen to do anything about it, perhaps in deference to Grunt.
 6
14 935 "I should like to learn some dust Leg," I said.
 6
14 937 "If I learn some dust Leg, I should be able, to some extent, to communicate with Kaiila," I said.
 6
14 946 "To learn sign," he said, "would probably be more useful to you, all things considered, than learning a smattering of dust Leg".
 6
14 948 "To be sure," he said, "it would be wise for you to learn some dust Leg or Kaiila.
 6
14 951 "Why are they called dust Legs?" I asked.
 6
14 959 "I would like to learn something of dust Leg and Kaiila, and also sign," I said.
 6
14 991 "You have seen dust Legs make that sign," he said.
 6
14 1183 I thought, too, briefly, of the red-savage youth, Urt, the red slave, supposedly a dust Leg, who had been with the soldiers.
 6
14 1260 "Last fall," he said, "I obtained it from dust Legs.
 6
14 1315 "I obtained it from dust Legs, who obtained it from Kaiila," he said.
 6
15 18 Other common signaling methods, incidentally, involve such things as the use of dust cast into the air, the movement of robes and the motions imparted to a kaiila.
 6
15 36 dust swept about the paws and legs of the beast.
 6
15 61 Greetings, my friend,' in dust Leg.
 6
15 78 This is the word in both dust Leg and Kaiila for a trader, or merchant.
 6
15 197 In dust Leg, incidentally, the expression has the same meaning.
 6
16 413 "A boy, a dust Leg, I think," said Pumpkin.
 6
17 153 "Are they men?" "They are called Waniyanpi," I said, "which in dust Leg and Kaiila means 'tame cattle.
 6
17 294 The paws of the beast were filthy; what had they to do with me; the long hair was coarse and matted; the paws, with their nails, were covered with dust and dirt, and were crusted over with mud.
 6
17 316 I cleaned them of dust and dirt, and filth, and all, dutifully, frightened, with my lips, my tongue, and teeth, even the nails".
 6
18 13 "He is dust Leg," said Grunt.
 6
18 17 "I have spoken dust Leg to him, and Kaiila, and some Fleer," said Grunt.
 6
18 161 I did not think that dust Legs, from whom he had been purchased by whites, near the Ihanke, would have sold one of their own tribe into slavery.
 6
18 211 "The dust Legs called me 'Nitoske'".
 6
19 143 Grunt, at this point, in an excited medley of dust Leg, Kaiila and Gorean, distraught and angry, entered again into remonstrance with the young warrior.
 6
19 328 I could speak only a smattering of dust Leg and Kaiila.
 6
19 366 We then bound him in his woman's dress and sold him to the dust Legs".
 6
19 425 "But it was Canka, and Hci, with the All Comrades and Sleen Soldiers, who first put me in the dress of a woman and later bound me in that dress and took me to the country of the dust Legs, there selling me as a slave.
 6
19 594 We had some from the dust Legs.

 6
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.
 6
44 350 "But even now I tricked you," she said, "by distracting you from seeing the approaching dust, by pretending to sexual need!" "The dust," I said, "was visible long before you noticed it, before you initiated your clever, diversionary stratagem".
 6
23 60 It is known to the slavers of the cities, and to the men of the cities, of course, as well as to the savages of the Barrens.
 6
1 44 "That is dust, in the wind," said Cuwignaka.
 6
1 84 Grit and dust settled about us.
 6
1 90 "Is there always this much dust?" I asked.
 6
1 151 Hci reined in his kaiila, squealing, kicking dust, before us.
 6
1 178 This band, outside of the Kaiila, is often known as the Mazahuhu band, which is the dust-Leg word for bracelets.
 6
1 244 The second time Cuwignaka had refused to go on the warpath he had been bound in his dress and traded to dust Legs, from whom, eventually, he was purchased as a slave by whites, in the vicinity of the Ihanke, the border between the lands of farmers and ranchers and the lands of the red ...
 6
1 258 He had also acquired two prisoners, two former enemies of his, Max and Kyle Hobart, in effect as gifts from dust Legs.
 6
1 267 Grunt's last slave, the dark-haired beauty, Wasnapohdi, or Pimples, whom he had acquired in trade for three hatchets from dust Legs, he was permitted to keep.
 6
1 333 In another way, Grunt's familiarity to the Kaiila, for he had visited them last year, and was close to Mahpiyasapa, Black Clouds, the civil chieftain of the Isbu, and his knowledge of their language, which closely resembles dust Leg, garnered him a similar protection.
 6
1 337 This pleased the Kaiila, as it also did the dust Legs and the Fleer.
 6
1 375 The dust from the paws of the kaiila was in my mouth.
 6
1 469 I could no longer see Hci now, in the dust from the kailiauk.
 6
3 180 One of the men, behind her, had thrown dust upon her.
 6
3 181 "Oh!" she sobbed, as two men, rather in front of her, one on each side, tossed, each, a double handful of dust upon her.
 6
3 182 She closed her eyes, blinking against the grit of the dust.
 6
3 216 There was dust upon her hair and on her body.
 6
4 268 "Twenty Pte will let out their water and roll behind me, dying, in the dust," he said.
 6
4 393 dust lifted about the paws of their kaiila.
 6
4 394 Then came the women, with the kaiila and travois, the poles leaving lines in the dust, and with them, joining them, came Cuwignaka and myself.
 6
5 160 I doubted that this was true, from the tremors in the earth, the dust and the direction of the tracks.
 6
5 222 Sometimes they will even paw down earth from the upper sides of washouts and then use the harder, exposed material beneath, dust scattering about, as a polishing surface.
 6
6 26 The draw was now filled with dust.
 6
6 57 Here and there I could see pieces of meat, trodden into the dust.
 6
6 66 The carcass itself, most of it, had been moved several feet and flattened, and lay half sunk in the dust of the draw.
 6
7 3 Swiftly she fell to her knees, and put her red hair to the dust.
 6
7 66 Winyela squirmed angrily, on her knees in the dust, her small wrists bound tightly before her.
 6
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.
 6
7 817 The dust Legs, too, with whom we trade, know of you".
 6
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.
 6
8 46 He had had good relations, for example, with the dust Legs, the Kaiila and the Fleer.
 6
12 42 I could see the dust it raised.
 6
12 327 I sent my men to nearby trading points, opened by the dust Legs to any white traders.
 6
12 331 At the same time I felt myself seized from behind by red savages, dust Legs.
 6
12 337 One of the dust Legs showed it to me, and then pointed to it, and then to me, and then threw it on the porch of the trading post.
 6
12 344 "The dust Legs traded me to the Sleen," she said, "and the Sleen traded me to the Yellow Knives".
 6
12 349 "The dust Legs," I said, "apparently originally conjectured that you would be worth a hide.
 6
18 31 Long ago, at a dust-Leg trading point, Grunt had obtained Wasnapohdi for three fine hatchets.
 6
18 57 Grunt, as I have mentioned, had finally acquired her from dust Legs.
 6
19 45 A woman once of the high city of Ar, she had been captured by dust Legs and suitably enslaved.
 6
21 1 Yellow Knives One of the Sleen Soldiers, rising to his feet, spun awkwardly, kicking dust, the arrow having entered through the chest, its point protruding above his left hip.
 6
21 6 We could scarcely see for dust.
 6
21 35 He struck the ground, rolling, scattering dust.
 6
22 3 The rider on the kaiila, bent low, his lance in the attack position, charged, dust scattering back from the pounding paws of the kaiila.
 6
22 262 Inside, in several places, the dust was bloodstained.
 6
22 263 In places, marked by successions of linear stains, and marks in the dust, bodies had apparently been dragged from the lodge.
 6
24 2 The Yellow Knife behind them, the arrow in his chest, slipped back, awkwardly, turned, and fell heavily into the dust.
 6
24 15 The kaiila stopped almost short, in a scattering of dust, jerked back on its haunches and wheeled about.
 6
24 22 The kaiila again spun about, scratching, snorting, with an explosion of dust.
 6
24 31 I heard the two shafts crack together, Cuwignaka fending the driving point away, and then, to my dismay, I heard a swift, striking sound, and saw Cuwignaka struck from the side of the kaiila, and reeling and staggering backwards, then sprawling, his legs loose under him, to the dust, s...
 6
24 40 Cuwignaka hurled himself headlong under the paws of the kaiila and the lance thrust down, driving into the dust.
 6
24 42 Cuwignaka desperately seized it and it, braced under the Yellow Knife's arm, lifted, pulling him to his feet, skidding and half dragged in the dust.
 6
24 58 They plunged to the dust.
 6
25 153 Their long tethers dangled from their necks to the dust.
 6
25 157 Quickly they fell to their knees, putting their heads to the dust.
 6
25 163 The other slaves lifted their heads, remaining on their knees, bound, in the dust.
 6
26 1 Once More to Tread Disputed, Bloody dust "Well done!" I called to Cuwignaka.
 6
26 124 It was wet and muddy, from her saliva and from the dust, in which it had been thrust, point down, to the binding, from which I had retrieved it.
 6
26 147 We then wheeled our kaiila about, once more to tread disputed, bloody dust.
 6
27 20 Many of the animals were covered with dust to the belly.
 6
27 73 dust, like powder, billowed twisting into the air.
 6
27 76 The kaiila under us turned, startled, scratching at the dust.
 6
28 300 I saw a woman, running, caught in the back with a lance, between the shoulder blades, flung to the dust, the lance then withdrawn.
 6
28 321 "Fight! Defend the camp!" The lines spun about and the men of Mahpiyasapa, whooping and crying out, dust scattering, sped back under the ropes and between the lodges to engage this new enemy.
 6
29 51 I saw Cuwignaka rolling in the dust, his kaiila gone.
 6
29 57 Cuwignaka, a knife run with blood in his hand, blood on his hand and wrist, too, stood in the dust.
 6
29 65 Then great wings smote the air above us, the air tearing at our clothes, raising dust in affrighted clouds on the field.
 6
29 67 "I am going to find Grunt!" I cried, through the dust.
 6
29 69 I saw two women running wildly through the dust.
 6
30 171 dust swirled up from the ground.
 6
30 174 I wiped dust from my eyes.
 6
32 65 "Perhaps like dust Legs," said Cuwignaka, "traders, diplomats, interpreters, serving the needs of others, not as Ubars of the plains, as masters of the grasslands in their own right".
 6
32 157 He, laughed, hurled the red slave away from him, a dozen feet away, into the dust.
 6
32 165 She lay in the dust, her hands over her head, her knees drawn tightly up, small, shuddering and trembling, helpless under the points.
 6
37 277 Some slave wine, I am told, is available in trade, usually through the dust Legs.
 6
39 296 We closed our eyes, briefly, against the storm of wind and dust which temporarily assaulted us.
 6
40 202 She kissed the dust before him, humbly.
 6
40 203 He spoke again and she straightened up and then again lowered her head to the dust before him.
 6
40 564 "Put your head to the dust," he said.
 6
40 927 Her body was then like a bow, her head down on one side, in the dust, and her heels on the other side.
 6
42 141 "We will send riders to the dust Legs, the Fleer and the Sleen".
 6
43 341 dust, from the paws of the kaiila, was billowing behind me.
 6
43 359 For example, if the two sacks were to be dragged in the dust behind tharlarion then it might be the case that the free woman, for her greater comfort, would be enclosed completely in the leather confinement and the slave would be bound only from the neck down, this once again, and agai...
 6
43 370 I turned the kaiila in a wide circle at the end of the promenade, the bags, like swift, twin plows, taut on their ropes, throwing up two trails of dust.
 6
43 374 The bags and ropes were covered with dust.
 6
43 383 By the tension on the rope attached to the handles of her sack Iwoso was then jerked backwards and again, almost horizontal, was being dragged behind me in the dust.
 6
43 396 I permitted Iwoso, for a few moments more, to sit there behind me in the dust, tied in her sack, crying out.
 6
43 405 A Yellow-Knife warrior lunged wildly for the sack but fell short, sprawling in the dust.
 6
44 130 Had she not seen the dust as yet? It had been there, visibly, far off, in the west, for better than a quarter of an Ahn.
 6
44 141 I wondered how long it would take her to detect the dust.
 6
44 145 She had then, I was sure, registered the dust.
 6
44 331 Not a pasang away, across the prairie, all attempt at concealment discarded, waves of Yellow Knives, feathers flying, dust billowing behind them, charged toward Council Rock.
 6
44 367 Others, jostling and milling about, in dust and feathers, pressing and gesticulating, fought for a position on the narrow upgrade.
 6
47 88 We crouched down, dust and rocks flying past us, that we not be forced from the edge of the escarpment by the turbulent blasts of those mighty, beating wings.
 6
47 431 In the distance, coming from the west, were columns of dust.
 6
47 434 These would be the dust Legs, the Sleen and Fleer, tribes to whom we had sent riders.
 6
47 500 "Those will be Sleen and dust Legs, even Fleer," he said, "intercepting your people, doing massacre amongst them".
 6
48 4 The site was now occupied by dust Legs, Sleen, and Fleer.
 6
51 39 He was then, shuffling in the dust with bloody feet, from which the claws had been extracted, bound helplessly, dragged on ropes and prodded with the butts of lances, conducted toward the lodge of Zarendargar.
 6
52 2 He had already seized up his sword from the low, flat rock in the midst of the encircling savages, Kaiila, dust Legs, Fleer and Sleen.
 6
54 16 I had a son, among the dust Legs".
 6
54 17 Grunt had found the lad in visiting the dust Legs after the massacre of the summer camp.
 6
54 18 It had been largely through Grunt's influence that dust Legs had made the long journey to Council Rock, to aid the Kaiila.
 6
54 22 He had been one of the few dust Legs who was permitted in Fleer encampments, and had lived with them.
 6
54 24 dust Leg and Kaiila, as I have earlier indicated, are closely related languages.
 6
54 25 Kaiila is commonly, interestingly, regarded as a dialectical version of dust Leg.
 6
54 26 dust Leg and Fleer are also related, but much more distantly.
 6
54 27 Commonly dust Legs and Fleer, when they meet in peace, communicate in the lingua franca of the plains, sign.
 6
54 30 Grunt could speak Gorean and the lad was fluent not only in dust Leg and Kaiila, but Fleer as well.
 6
54 32 This winter, instead of returning west of the Ihanke, Grunt had told me that he planned to winter with the dust Legs.
 6
54 88 A few hundred feet away, I saw some dust Legs, a party of them, returning to their own country.
 6
54 102 In this camp there were Fleer, Sleen, dust Legs, and Kaiila.
 6
54 107 This was now Wayuksapiwi, in the calendar of the dust Legs, the Corn-Harvest Moon, or, as it is spoken of in the reckoning of the Kaiila, Canwapekasnawi, the moon when the wind shakes off the leaves.
 6
54 132 They would serve as burden bearers for Grunt, on his way back to the dust-Leg country.
 6
54 133 Then, if he had not sold them in the meantime, presumably they would accompany him back to Kailiauk in the spring, whence, after selling his goods and making his profits, and restocking his stores, he would presumably return once more, trading, to the Barrens, this time presumably in the company of ...
 6
54 161 dust Legs, friends of Grunt, had attacked them.
 6
54 184 They will accompany him to the country of the dust Legs, helping him in the transportation of goods to that point, and will then, before the winter, continue on to Kailiauk, there to arrange buyers for Grunt's hides, to be delivered in the spring.
 6
54 296 There I saw Seibar, who had once been Pumpkin, of the Waniyanpi, trading, in sign, with a dust-Leg warrior.
 6
54 298 The dust Leg was bidding sheaves of dried kailiauk meat.
 6
56 118 Grunt was there, too, and his son, by the dust-Leg woman.
 6
56 120 Tomorrow Grunt and his son, with the Hobarts, and various slaves, would set forth for the dust-Leg country, where he would winter.

6 1274 She spun about, and with a movement of her robes, lifting them a bit from the dust, took her leave.
 6
10 90 "No! No!" she cried, springing to her feet, her bare feet raising dust, her bound wrists, of course, still tethered to the bar.

10 127 She fell to her belly in the dust and reached out, her wrists still bound, to touch his ankles.
