17 25 The tiny urt, a common rodent of Gorean cities, was bringing a silver tarn disk in the markets.
 6
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.
 6
2 50 I hadn't known what to expect, what these people would be like.
 6
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.
 6
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.
 6
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.
 6
3 116 people had come, or had been brought to Gor possibly, with a fully developed language.
 6
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.
 6
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
6 106 "That is pleasing to me," said the insect, "for the men of Ar do not behave well toward the Spider people.
 6
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.
 6
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.
 6
7 88 It is dangerous for the Spider people".
 6
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".
 6
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...
 6
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 ...
 6
19 34 There were about two hundred people on the cylinder roof.
 6
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...

 6
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 ...
 6
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...
 6
11 29 His narrow eyes, like those of an urt, looked upon me contemptuously.
 6
11 65 I smiled to myself, thinking of the teeth of the urt and the whip, both of which had found my flesh.
 6
11 140 "One sight of the white urt and he admitted all".
 6
11 143 "To the urt with him!" sneered Dorna the Proud.
 6
17 125 In fury, his eyes darting back and forth like those of an urt, he bit into the bread and gulped it down.
 6
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.
 6
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.
 6
21 141 It reminded me of the groomed, shining pelt of a pet urt.
 6
21 197 "You fat, filthy urt!" she hissed.
 6
25 64 He held, leashed, the large, sleek white urt which I had encountered in the pit inside the palace door.
 6
25 69 "Kill!" cried the man in wrist straps, pointing the whip in my direction, and unleashing the urt, which charged viciously toward me.
 6
25 90 The urt was over him, its haunches high, its shoulders almost level with the roof, gnawing.
 6
1 53 There was a knot of people who had gathered, standing a safe distance away on the sidewalk.
 6
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".
 6
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".
 6
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.
 6
8 55 Slowly I let my eye wander the city, surely in its people and their customs one of the most unusual on Gor.
 6
23 165 The tarnsman freed me and has now returned me to my people".
 6
24 167 I ask this in the name of Lara, and of the city of Tharna and its people.
 6
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.
 6
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...
 6
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...

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...
 6
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...
 6
8 154 "How do the people of Treve live?" I asked Vika.
 6
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".
 6
16 67 "The Spider people are a gentle race," said Misk, "except the female at the time of mating".
 6
16 69 "The Spider people are soft," said Misk.
 6
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".

 6
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...
 6
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".

Book 4. (36 results) Nomads of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
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.
 6
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".
 6
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.
 6
16 196 "The little urt was trying to pick my pouch!" "You were not always a merchant, then?" I asked Saphrar.
 6
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.
 6
18 29 "You fat, filthy urt!" cried Harold, struggling in his bonds with the two men-at-arms who held him.
 6
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...
 6
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...
 6
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...
 6
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.
 6
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.
 6
3 21 More importantly, I did not wish to introduce myself to these people as an enemy.
 6
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.
 6
5 100 It was thus I first learned the name of the man whom I understood to be Ubar of this fierce people.
 6
8 62 "Tospit!" called Conrad of the Kassars, the Blood people, and the girl hastened to set another fruit on the wand.
 6
8 209 I was second rider to Kamchak, as Albrecht was to Conrad, he of the Kassars, the Blood people.
 6
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 ...
 6
8 244 His parents and people had been slain in the Turian raid in which he had been captured, so he had no kin.
 6
9 84 Many people scarcely glanced at us, in spite of the fact that we were theoretically blood foes.
 6
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".
 6
10 51 "Take this," I said, "and go to Turia—find your people and be free".
 6
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...
 6
10 289 I had also been informed by Kamchak that this places the girl farther from her own people.
 6
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...
 6
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.
 6
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.
 6
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.
 6
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.
 6
15 52 Meanwhile the Omen Taking, even with the participation of the Tuchuk haruspexes, continued—for the haruspexes of the people would remain behind until even the final readings had been completed.
 6
21 272 Then two more people on the wall took up the cry, pointing wildly out over the wall.
 6
23 15 Each people, as the Tuchuks had, had its false Ubar, its decoy to protect the true Ubar from danger or assassination.
 6
24 61 "Most of the people," Harold was saying, "are out of the city now".
 6
27 221 "This woman," said Kamchak of the Tuchuks, brusquely, his voice stern but almost breaking, "is called Aphris—know her—she is Ubara of the Tuchuks, she is Ubara Sana, of my heart Ubara Sana!" We let Kamchak and Aphris ride ahead, and followed them, by some hundred yards, toward the main...
 6
28 7 There were several people gathered about, near the wagon of Kamchak, among them Tuka's master, and the girl herself.

 6
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.
 6
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.
 6
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.
 6
18 400 Startled by the light an urt scurried from my path, disappearing through a small crevice in the wall.
 6
20 251 He sprang to his feet and began to leap up and down making noises like a scolding urt.
 6
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.
 6
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.
 6
5 531 A number of people had gathered about, among them several free women.
 6
8 103 "Show me where the important people eat," I said.
 6
12 112 "Candies!" Many of the people he passed turned away.
 6
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.
 6
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.
 6
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.

 6
13 422 It is some kind of brush urt, I think.
 6
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.

 6
16 12 "Let me out!" Sometimes an urt manages to force its way through the mesh, or between one of the vertical cage lids, one at each end of the cage, and the cage.
 6
16 74 Thus, if an urt manages to enter one area he has at his mercy only one captive, not five.
 6
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.

1 334 An urt slipped between two rocks in the wall.
 6
1 690 "Perhaps she will be bought by an urt hunter or an oar maker.
 6
1 691 What then?" "Then she is owned by an oar maker or an urt hunter," I said.
 6
1 693 urt hunters swim slave girls, ropes on their necks, beside their boats in the dark, cool water of the canals, as bait for urts, which, as they rise to attack the girl, are speared.
 6
2 60 "Will not an urt hunter give me at least two tarsks for her?" called out the auctioneer good-humoredly, but with some understandable exasperation.
 6

3 1 What Occurred on the Way to the Pier of the Red urt; I Hear the Ringing of an Alarm Bar It was near the fifth hour.
 6
3 11 I heard an urt splash softly into the water, ahead of me and to my left.
 6
3 76 We were in the vicinity of the pier of the Red urt.
 6
3 84 "Who would want to hurt a little she-urt," she said.
 6
3 165 I rose to my feet, and, shouldering my sea bag, whistling, continued on toward the pier of the Red urt, where Ulafi's ship, the Palms of Schendi, was moored.
 6
3 169 I followed him toward the pier of the Red urt.
 6
4 47 "There was a dark-haired she-urt in a brown tunic.
 6
4 158 I was then tied to this little she-urt.
 6
4 173 "It is obvious," he said, to the praetor, "that this she-urt, whoever she is, wishes to implicate me in her guilt, that it will go easier on her".
 6
4 198 "I think our missing slave will be found in the garment of the she-urt".
 6
4 201 On the other hand, obviously, the girl would not be likely to linger in the place where she had stolen the she-urt's brief, miserable rag.
 6
4 332 "She may be wearing the garment of a she-urt," I said.
 6
4 334 "I myself," said a nearby guardsman, "stopped a girl answering the description, one in the torn rag of a she-urt, but when I forced her to reveal her thighs, she was unmarked".
 6
4 343 Also, though she did not know it, a she-urt in a boat would surely provoke instant suspicion.
 6
4 355 Too, a she-urt found in such a place, it not being night, would surely be viewed as a girl in hiding.
 6
4 362 I seized a dark-haired she-urt by the arm.
 6
4 405 Except for her failure to exhibit interest in the garbage she might have been only one she-urt among the others.
 6
4 410 She was, after all, only another she-urt.
 6
4 413 She tried to saunter as a she-urt.
 6
4 443 She tried to walk as a she-urt.
 6
4 468 Then, boldly, pretending to indifference, concerned to maintain the charade of the she-urt, on her belly, stretching, she reached out into the water and picked up the edible rind of a larma.
 6
4 481 She, perhaps not happily, beneath my gaze, pretending to be a she-urt, swallowed the last bit of it.
 6
4 555 I picked up my sea bag then, and, the girl on my shoulder, the sea bag in my left hand, made my way toward the pier of the Red urt.
 6
4 559 The girl stood, her hands bound behind her, in the brief rag of the she-urt, before the tribunal of the praetor.
 6

1 1095 Similarly a man of the high cities would not expect to be publicly rewarded for having speared a tarsk or slain an urt.
 6
2 289 A hundred or so feet away there was the small boat of an urt hunter.
 6
2 293 The hunter stood behind her with his pronged urt spear.
 6
2 294 These men serve an important function in Port Kar, which is to keep down the urt population in the canals.
 6
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.
 6
2 306 To be sure, sometimes the urt surfaces near the girl and approaches her with great rapidity.
 6
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.
 6
2 309 Sometimes, incidentally, a master will rent his girl to an urt hunter, this being regarded as useful in her discipline.
 6
2 338 I looked beyond Samos to the boat and urt hunter in the canal.
 6

14 274 "Nim Nim smart! Nim Nim free now! Nim Nim safe!" I wondered how it was that the urt people could travel with the urt packs.
 10
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.
 10
13 3 Behind me, on his straw, crouched the small, narrow-shouldered, spindle-legged representative of the urt people.
 10
13 158 Behind me, on his straw, crouched the small, narrow-shouldered, spindle-legged representative of the urt people.
 10
13 223 The representative of the urt people and I complied.
 10
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.
 10
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.
 10
13 250 The representative of the urt people regarded me, narrowly, furtively, fearfully.
 10
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.
 10
13 267 I looked back at the representative of the urt people.
 10
13 276 It was one of the urt people.
 10
13 282 Sometimes such packs pass civilized areas and observers are not even aware of the urt people traveling with them.
 10
13 299 The urt people, I understood, were fond of pit fruit.
 10
13 327 The urt people, as I understood it, commonly communicate among themselves in the pack by means of such signals.
 10
13 331 Too, however, I knew the urt people could, and did upon occasion, as in their rare contacts with civilized folk, communicate in a type of Gorean, many of the words evidencing obvious linguistic corruptions but others, interestingly, apparently closely resembling archaic G...
 10
13 333 He seemed an intelligent creature, and his Gorean was doubtless quite different from the common trade Gorean of the urt people.
 10
13 335 The urt people learn quickly.
 10
14 45 The eyes of the urt people, I gathered, adjusted very quickly to darkness.
 10
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.
 10
14 305 In this fashion I supposed the urt people might speak with one another.
 10
14 370 How, I wondered, did the first of the urt people gain admittance to their packs.
 10
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.
 10
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.
 10
14 467 This was the only concrete sign I had to suggest that there might be urt people traveling with the pack.
 10
14 270 "The people do not hurt Nim Nim! Nim Nim is of the people.

6 607 "Is she pretty?" "Some might think her passable," said Boots, "but compared to yourself her beauty is doubtless no more than that of a she-urt to that of the preferred slave of a Ubar".
 6
8 149 The urt, on the whole, most species of which are quite small, large enough to be lifted in one hand, does not pose much direct threat to human beings.
 6
8 152 Certain forms of large, domesticated urt, incidentally, should be excepted from these remarks.
 6
9 213 "Are we a refuge for homeless waifs, a food wagon for improvident wayfarers, a training ground for amateurs, a nomadic inn for stage-struck aspirants, an itinerant shelter for every awed, hopeful bumpkin desirous of donning the thespic mantle, and on our stage, that of the theater's titans, of shari...
 6
9 214 "urt droppings?" inquired Boots.
 6
9 414 You are now of no more interest to magistrates, in their official capacities, as opposed to their private capacities, than would be an urt or a sleen".
 6
13 281 This low gait commonly kept it inconspicuous among the large, migratory urt packs with which it commonly moved.
 6
13 283 The urt packs provide them with cover and protection.
 6
13 339 Probably long ago, as some forms of urts became commensals with human beings, so, too, some humans may have become commensals, traveling companions, sharers at the same table, so to speak, with the migratory urt packs.
 6
14 8 "Nim Nim good urt," he had told me.
 6
14 46 This may be an adaptive specialization, having to do with the fact that urt packs are often active at night.
 6
14 77 Never before had I seen an urt pack that huge.
 6
14 82 "Nim Nim good urt! No pit for Bosk! Worse! Much worse! Nim Nim help! Nim Nim help!" I felt sick.
 6
14 88 "Nim Nim help! Nim Nim good urt! Now Nim Nim free!" "Kneel, Bosk of Port Kar," said Flaminius.
 6
14 136 "How do you think we followed you so discreetly, allowing you your lead of better than an Ahn, until, at our pleasure, we chose to close the gap and apprehend you here?" I looked down at the urt pack in the valley below.
 6
14 190 Nim Nim good urt!" he squealed.
 6
14 191 "Go, little urt," said Flaminius, kindly.
 6
14 194 "Nim Nim trick pretty Bosk!" "Hurry home, little urt," said Flaminius, kindly.
 6
14 200 Nim Nim scampered down the grassy slope toward the huge urt pack in the distance.
 6
14 206 You will go to the edge of the urt pack.
 6
14 210 You must then, if you wish, enter the urt pack.
 6
14 227 I began to walk slowly down the hill, toward the urt pack.
 6
14 239 I looked at the urt pack.
 6
14 265 "And there is," he said, adding in another noise, "our leader!" He had indicated a large, dark-furred, broken-tusked urt, a gigantic creature for this type of animal, with small eyes and a silvered snout.
 6
14 364 That would explain why a strange urt, though even of the pack's own species, would be fallen upon and killed if it attempted to join the pack.
 6
14 409 Behind me I suddenly heard again that hideous squeal of an urt, once more the stranger-recognition signal.
 6
14 429 An urt was clutched lifeless in its jaws.
 6
14 440 Through the bodies an urt came pressing towards me.
 6
14 441 It was a large urt, darkly furred.
 6
14 446 It was the urt Nim Nim had earlier identified as the leader of the pack.
 6
14 456 It did not seem muchly concerned with the head of the urt, which was still, by the skin, attached to the pelt.
 6
16 1185 "Sleen! urt!" said Temenides.

 6
15 4 Sometimes an urt, a small rodent, not like the large urts in the pool, scurried past.
 6
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.
 6
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.
 6
19 898 "I, you illiterate, collared she-urt?" "You were brought here hooded," I said.

 6

 6

 6
37 349 But the urt did turn then, of its own accord, and scampered back down the passageway.
 6
37 389 The darkness of the walk ringing the urt pool was behind.
 6
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...
 6
37 395 The woman was screaming, from within, over the urt pool.
 6
37 404 From within, over the urt pool, we could still hear the screaming of the woman.
 6
37 405 "It is a dead urt!" said a man, suddenly.
 6
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.
 6
37 416 "How did the urt die?" asked a man.
 6
37 424 "There is a quarrel in the urt!" said a man, suddenly, the beasts, in their feeding, moving about.
 6
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...
 6
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.
 6
37 468 It is terribly dangerous, of course, to trap an urt against a barrier, as it will then fight with terrible ferocity.
 6
37 473 By the time it had been determined that the victim was another urt the men would have been within range.
 6
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.
 6
37 580 An urt, on the walkway, at their approach, had scrambled over the railing, and dived into the pool.
 6
37 583 And I saw the wet, glistening head of an urt, just at the surface.
 6
37 586 This was not the urt which had just entered the pool.
 6
37 593 "urt!" cried Tira, pointing.
 6
37 621 When one urt leaves the nest, others tend to follow.
 6
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.
 6
37 743 "Find him! Find him! Fire! Fire!" But suddenly, from a place high on the wall, now feet from where the body of Herminius had been thrown, on one of the ropes which were intended to control the movements of the cage, a dark figure swung over the urt pool.
 6
37 760 The Lady Ilene, out of the cage, tied to it by a rope fastened under her arms, bound hand and foot, gagged, dangled over the urt pool.
 6
37 779 Rather, to my horror, he took a quarrel between his teeth and, bow in hand, leapt over the railing, into the urt pool itself.
 6
37 874 The urt, too, had submerged.
 6
37 943 "What is it? A dead urt?" "It is a body," said the pit master.
 6
37 945 "It has come to the surface!" An urt swam to the object and began to bite at it.
 6
37 948 Another urt then swam toward it.
 6
37 1020 An urt beneath the railing turned smoothly in the water, orienting itself toward the figure in the water.
 6
37 1027 We could now see, surfaced behind him, the head and neck of an urt, one that was very large.
 6
37 1036 The head and neck of the urt surfaced again, behind Abnik.
 6
37 1069 "Is there a way from the urt nest, other than to the pool and walkway?" asked the officer of Treve.
 6
37 1111 "But how would he know the officer would not protect his man, that he would not be fired on in the cowl and pelt of the urt?" "He knew the caste he was dealing with," said the officer of Treve.
 6
37 1122 "You are certain that there is no possibility of escape through the urt nest, through drains, or sewers, or such".
 6
38 21 The point then, with terrible slowness, as Gito squirmed like an impaled urt, moved upward, behind the ribs, until it entered the heart.
 6
38 29 "A water urt was found in the valley three days ago," said the officer of Treve, studying the board.
 6
39 73 Too, I would suppose certain guards could do so, and, of course, the other pit slaves had seen him, at least twice, once in the cell, once in the vicinity of the urt pool.

 6
11 92 The urt then is essentially fished for.
 6
11 95 When an urt is sighted, the girl moves closer to the boat.

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.
