there is no X in the Gorean Dictorary so I have to choose a diffent word Z: Zarlit Fly

The Physicians of Ar were engaged in Xenotropic research while seeking a cure for Dar-Kosis, Flaminius led the research program.

When this serum was injected into other animals (hosts), they could not be infected by the disease. (Disclaimer: Xenotropic does not appear in any novel.)

I do not expect the word xenotropic to be accepted but a fact of life is that you miss 100% of the shots you never take, so I took one. If anyone objects to the word being used here, because it does not appear in any of the novels to My knowledge, I will withdraw it without complaint. :)

I'll put it in the fuck it bucket and run with it- Caste

I know, big word.

It's a legit word, where Mine was dubious at best, so Yours is the better of the two really.

"It is to be distinguished sharply from the standard garrote, which is armed with wire and can cut a throat easily. The standard garrote, of course, is impractical for captures, for the victim, in even a reflexive movement, might cut her own throat. — Savages of Gor, page 180.

"I knew enough of the forest to recognize many things which might be eaten; leafy Tur-Pah, parasitic on Tur trees, of course, but, too, certain plants whose roots were edible, as the wild Sul; and there were flat ground pods in tangles which I could tear open, iron fruit whose shells might be broken between rocks, and autumn gim berries, purple and juicy." (Smugglers of Gor.)

T - Tastas "I had wondered why he had summoned us to our duties and lessons, with the call, "Come, tastas!" The expression was occasionally used by men for women such as we.

Saru is a small, usually arboreal animal. It is usually regarded with amusement, or contempt. It figures in children's stories as a cute, curious, mischievous little beast, but also one that is stupid, vain, and ignorant. Although the saru, as far as I can tell, is not a monkey zoologically, it surely occupies a similar ecological niche, and resembles the monkey in its diet, habits, groupings, and such. It is tailless. I think it would not be amiss to think of the saru as a Gorean monkey.
Sw

U - Utukufu "He was sitting, cross-legged, on a flat, rectangular stone, broad and heavy, about a foot high, at the western edge of the large Utukufu, or Glory, square. The stone was his etem, or sitting place. He was Ubar of the beggars of Schendi." — Explorers of Gor, pages 137-138.

E - ear piercing - "The piercing of the ears, however, is regarded as being the epitome of a slave girl's degradation. Any woman, it is said, with pierced ears, is a slave girl." ~Marauders of Gor~ known as a pierced-ear girl, the slave girl knows she can never be free again. ear piercing is an act of claiming, akin to collaring and is seen as tantamount to a sentence of irrevocable bondage.

G: gim, yellow

M - Marsh Moccasin, a venomous snake living in wetlands. "We saw a narrow, dark shape, about five feet long, like a slowly undulating whip, glide past. A small triangular head was almost level with the water surface.

These keys are quite heavy and are carried over the shoulder, and can, if necessary, even function as weapons." — Assassin of Gor, page 52.

K - Kailiauk. A large, heavy, thickly haired ruminant animal with three horns that lives on the plains and also the easternmost town at the foot of the Thentis mountains. It lies almost at the edge of the Ihanke, or Boundary, which marks the start of the lands of the red savages.

K - Kakidlamerk "More strictly, their names were 'Pudjortok' and 'Kakidlamerk'. However, since these names, respectively, would be 'Thimble' and 'Thistle', and Imnak often referred to them in Gorean as 'Thimble' and 'Thistle' I have felt it would be acceptable to use those latter expressions, they being simpler from the point of view of one who does not natively speak the tongue of the People, or Innuit. — Beasts of Gor, page 194.

E: egg

Ahtudan - "Perhaps we should call you �Ahtudan'," I said. "What does that mean?" she said. "Something to be spit upon," I said. "It is a fitting name for a slave, it is not?" — Blood Brothers of Gor, page 288.

gonna blow the whistle here before others do...Iskander played a word out of turn and beyond that is not at the end of the last word played next word was to start with S so in that and by the rules of the game Ludo and Nyx's words are disqualified...either play it fairly or don't play at all

laura played "sorp" Iskander played "Pani" It's the LAST letter of the word. All is well, carry on.

N- Northern Shark. Their fishing and hunting were seasonal and depended on the animals. Sometimes they managed to secure the northern shark. (Beasts of Gor)

K -kort - a rinded fruit of the Tahari; served sliced with melted cheese and nutmeg

I, too, know how difficult reading can be, Wirick. I forgive you. Tug of war- “Help us, Tarl,” said Akko, whom I had met earlier in the day.
“He is a big fellow,” said a man.
“Yes,” said another.
I followed Akko and his friends to a place where two teams of men waited, a heavy, braided rope of twisted sleen-hide stretched between them. --

--They put me at the end of the rope. Soon, to the enthusiastic shouts of observers, we began the contest. Four times the rope grew taut, and four times our team won. I was much congratulated, and slapped on the back.

R-Raisins. "vulo stew with raisins, nuts, onions, and honey" (Tribesmen of Gor)

Spider People- “I have seen few of these ‘other species’,” I said.
Misk shrugged his antennae.
“I do remember,” I said, “a Spider in the Swamp Forests of Ar.”
“The Spider People are a gentle race,” said Misk, “except the female at the time of mating.”
“His name was Nar,” I said, “and he would rather have died than injure a rational creature.”
“The Spider People are soft,” said Misk. “They are not Priest-Kings.”
“I see,” I said.
PRIEST KINGS OF GOR, Page 125

E--EEL: Various types of eel are raised on Gor to be consumed. Many types are considered to be a delicacy. Some of these pools contain voracious eels, of various sorts, river eels, black eels, the spotted eel, and such, which are Gorean delicacies. (Magicians of Gor, page 428

Larma- The larma is lucious. It has a rather hard shell but the shell is brittle and easily broken. Within, the fleshy endocarp, the fruit, is delicious, and very juicy. Sometimes, when a woman is referred to as a "larma," it is suggested that her hard or frigid exterior conceals a rather different sort of interior, one likely to be quite delicious.--

Once the shell has been broken through or removed, irrevocably, there is, you see, exposed, soft, vulnerable, juicy and helpless, the interior, in the fruit, the fleshy endocarp, in the woman, the slave
Renigades of Gor pg.437

ARCTIC GANT EGGS: Eggs of the Gant bird which are eaten like apples when frozen. Popular with the red hunters. I stepped aside to let a young girl pass, who carried two baskets of eggs, those of the migratory arctic gant. They nest in the mountains of the Hrimgar and in steep, rocky outcroppings, called bird cliffs, found here and there jutting out of the tundra. The bird cliffs doubtless bear some geological relation to the Hrimgar chains. When such eggs are frozen they are eaten like apples.

(Beasts of Gor, page 196)

S - Sa Fora "Kajira is perhaps the most common expression for a female slave. Another frequently heard expression is Sa-Fora, a compound word, meaning, rather literally, Chain Daughter, or Daughter of the Chain." — Nomads of Gor, pages 29-30.

Arani - "To my right were the lines of the Aretai. The Aretai themselves, of course, with black kaffiyeh and white agal cording, held their center. Their right flank was held by the Luraz and the Tashid. Their left flank was held by the Raviri, and four minor tribes, the Ti, the Zevar, the Arani and the Tajuks." — Tribesmen of Gor, pages 301.

Yellow Gim - "In the second level, that of the canopies, is found an incredible variety of birds, warblers, finches, mindars, the crested lit and the common lit, the fruit tindel, the yellow gim, tanagers, some varieties of parrot, and many more." — Explorers of Gor, page 311.

M - Manumission "The papers are papers of manumission," I said. "I am no longer your master. You no longer have a master."
"Manumission," he asked.
"You are free," I told him. — Magicians of Gor, page 460.

Nyundo- "We stood in the clearing of Nyundo, the central village of the Ukungu region."
"Explorers of Gor" page 451

O - Oblique Advance "He was also the initiator of the oblique advance in Gorean field warfare, whereby large numbers of men may be concentrated at crucial points while the balance of the enemy remains unengaged." — Mercenaries of Gor, page 32.

Energy bulbs- These bulbs, invented more than a century ago by the Caste of Builders, produce a clear, soft light for years without replacement.
Tarnsman

Or this one, so there is no squabble- Inside, the tunnel, though dim, was not altogether dark, being lit by domelike, wire-protected energy bulbs, spaced in pairs every hundred yards or so.
Tarnsman

S - Safety straps "… we turned and, held in the saddles by safety straps, spinning, we struck at one another, tarn goads like swords…" — Assassin of Gor, page 371.

Slave Flower- The reason, in the north, that the dina is called the slave flower has been lost in antiquity. One story is that an ancient Ubar of Ar, capturing the daughter of a fleeing, defeated enemy in a field of dinas there enslaved her, stripping her by the sword, ravishing her and putting chains upon her. As he chained her collar to his stirrup, he is said to have looked about the field, and then named her ‘Dina.’--

--But perhaps the dina is spoken of as the slave flower merely because, in the north, it is, though delicate and beautiful, a reasonably common, unimportant flower; it is also easily plucked, being defenseless, and can be easily crushed, overwhelmed and , if one wishes, discarded.

Slave Girl of Gor Page 62

R - Rape Test "What of this slave?" I asked Msaliti, indicating the blond-haired barbarian.
"She is hot," admitted Msaliti.
"Have you subjected her to rape test?" I asked.
"No," said he." Only to the touch of the owner's hands." — Explorers of Gor, page 168.

Tambor Gulf- The most important reason for not finding a guide, of course, even among the eastern rence growers, is that the delta is claimed by Port Kar, which lies within it, some hundred pasangs from its northwestern edge, bordering on the shallow Tamber gulf, beyond which is gleaming Thassa, the Sea.

Raiders of Gor page 6

F - Falarina "Another way of drawing the distinction is in terms of �falarina' and �profalarina.' �Profarlarina' designates the state preceding falarina, which is the state of the woman who has been penetrated at least once by a male." — Savages of Gor, page 203.

Argentum- "The small fellow, I had gathered, might have once been from Tharna. That is a city far to the north and east of Venna. It is well know for its silver mines. So, too, incidentally, is the city of Argentum,"
"Dancer of Gor" page 386

M - March of the First Five Born "I gathered that perhaps this was the culmination of the Feast of Tola, the giving of Gur by the greatest of the Priest- Kings, the First Five Born, save that of that number there were only two left, the First Born and the Fifth, Sarm and Misk. As it turned out later I was correct in this surmise and the moment of the ceremony is known as the March of the First Five Born, in which these five march abreast to the Mother and give her Gur in inverse order of their>>

priority." — Priest-Kings of Gor,

Nyuki-"His father had, many years ago, fled from an inland village, that of Nyuki, noted for its honey, on the northern shore of lake Ushindi."

I - Ice beast "An ice beast!" cried Akko. The other figure was that, clearly, shambling, long-armed. of a white-pelted Kur." — Beasts of Gor, page 292.

The hope of Tina- "The 'Hope of Tina,' a melody of Cos which would surely be popular with most of the fellows present, on the other hand, was an excellent choice. It was supposedly the expression of the yearning, or hope, of a young girl that she may be so beautiful, and so feminine, and marvelous, that she will prove acceptable as a slave."
Vagabonds of Gor, pages 37 - 38

A - Aja "Aja! Aja!" I heard, from behind the fence." Aja! Hurry, my brothers! Aja!" — Beasts of Gor, page 168.

Acquisitions of the Kurii: “I was not brought to Gor, was I,” I asked, “to be a simple female slave, simply to be given, or sold, to a master?” “I told you,” he reminded me, “that at the age of seventeen you were marked for abduction. In any event, you would have been brought to Gor as a female slave.” “But in my case,” I pressed, “there were, were there not, additional considerations?” “Yes,” he said. (Elinor Brinton speaking with Acquisition Slaver of Kurii) (Captive of Gor, Chapter 10,

I - Isanna "The Isbu, or Little-Stones band; the Casmu, or Sand, band; the Isanna, the Little-Knife band; the Napoktan, or Bracelets, band; and the Wismahi, or Arrowhead band, are the five bands which constitute the Kaiila tribe." — Blood Brothers of Gor, page 10.

A-Accountant.......A member of the Scribes whose duties are to maintain accounting of the moneys in a holding. "At his right hand there was a Scribe, an angular, sullen man with deep eyes, with and stylus. It was Caprus of Ar, Chief Accountant to the House of Cernus." — Assassin of Gor, page 40.

A - Akicita "Canka," said the young warrior, striking himself in the chest with a fist. "Akicita hemaca. Isbu hemaca. Kaiila hemaca!"
"'I am Canka, Fire Steel,'" said Grunt. "'I am a warrior. I am of the Little Stones. I am of the Kaiila!'" — Savages of Gor, page 321.

A-Agleskala
The red savages term meaning "striped lizard." "Make ready your arrows," I heard, a crying from outside the lodge. "Make ready your arrows! Make ready your knives! We are going to make meat! We are going to make meat!" This was a crier of the Sleen Soldiers, Agleskala, Striped Lizard. He was moving through the village.
— Blood Brothers of Gor, page 49.

A - Alcove "One in particular I remembered, young, her body like a cheetah, he black hair wild on her brown shoulders, the bangles on her ankles, their sound in the curtained alcove." — Tarnsman of Gor, page 61.

E-Energy Lamp
Most probably similar to, or another name for, energy bulbs; something of a rarity in private Gorean homes.

"… then we would be walking deeper within the cylinder, down broad, carpeted, tapestried halls, set with energy lamps, seldom found in the homes of private citizens, emitting a soft glowing light…" — Assassin of Gor, page 392.

P - Parade of Slaves "The 'parade of slaves' as it is sometimes called, commonly takes place in venues such as paga taverns and brothels… It is a presentation of beauty and attractions. The slaves presnt themselves usually one by one, often to the accompaniment of music, for the inspection of guests." — Vagabonds of Gor, page 29.

S - Scytale "Give me the ribbon," said Samos. "It is, of course, a scytale," I said. "Yes," said Samos, "and the message is in clear Gorean." — Beasts of Gor, pages 23-24.

E - Etem "He was sitting, cross-legged, on a flat, rectangular stone, broad and heavy, about a foot high, at the western edge of the large Utukufu, or Glory, square. The stone was his etem, or sitting place. He was Ubar of the beggars of Schendi." — Explorers of Gor, pages 137-138.

M - Magaksicaagliwi - "For those who might be interested in such things, we came to the wands in the early spring, early in Magaksicaagliwi, which is the Moon of the Returning Gants." — Savages of Gor, page 144.

I - Identification Anklet "… A metal anklet of some sort was fastened on my left ankle."
"A girls identificatory anklet," I said. "It is removed after her delivery to Gor." — Savages of Gor, page 181.

T - Ta-Sardar-Gor "What are you doing?" I asked.
"I am offering a libation," he said. "Ta-Sardar-Gor."
"What does that mean?' I asked, my words fumbling a bit, blurred by the liquor, made unsteady by my fear.
"It means," laughed Cabot, a mirthless laugh, "to the Priest-Kings of Gor!" — Outlaw of Gor, page 13.

R - Return to Turia "… the Omen Year, or season, lasts several months, and consists of three phases, called the Passing of Turia, which takes place in the fall; the Wintering, which takes place north of Turia and commonly south of the Cartius, the equator of course lying to the north in this hemisphere; and the Return to Turia, in the spring, or, as the Wagon Peoples say, in the Season of Little Grass.." — Nomads of Gor, page 11.

A - Aja "Aja! Aja!" I heard, from behind the fence." Aja! Hurry, my brothers! Aja!" — Beasts of Gor, page 168.

A - Akamda "Hou, Akamda," said he to the girl, halting his kaiila. �Akamda' is a word usually designating fringe, such as might occur on leggings or shirts. — Blood Brothers of Gor, page 53.

A - Aretai "There will be war between the Kavars and the Aretai," I heard a man say. — Tribesmen of Gor, page 58.

Ice, flavored- The High Initiate had risen to his feet and accepted a goblet from another Initiate, probably containing minced, flavored ices, for the afternoon was warm.
Assassin of Gor page 141

D - Da Then, with her finger, moving them on their string, she indicated the tiny, colored wooden beads. "Da Bina," she said, smiling. Then she lifted a necklace, looking at it. "Bina," she said. I then understood that "Bina" was the expression for beads, or for a necklace of beads. — Slave Girl of Gor, page 81.

A - Ah-ral "Too, there were cloth merchants, with their silks and rolls of rep cloth. Cloth is measured in the ah-il, which is the length from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, and the ah-ral, which is ten ah-ils. — Tribesmen of Gor, page 50.

L - ŁuďǿČąĩŋ - a Warrior of Gor

N-Neromiktok
Feminine Innuit name which means "Smooth-and-Soft-to-Touch" "The word 'Neromiktok', in the language of the People. means 'Smooth-and-Soft-to-Touch'." — Beasts of Gor, page 425.

K - Kajira Canjellne "At this point the helmeted warrior began to descend the aisle. We watched him approach. In moments he stood, too, on the block, facing the crowd. He struck the butt of his great spear on the heavy wood. "Kajira canjellne!" he said. "Slave girl challenge!" — Slave Girl of Gor, page 435.

E-E-Esalinus...One of the major cities of slave trade..."These wholesalers usually distribute to retailers, in their individual cities, or, often, also, in well-known slaving centers, of which there are many, for example, Ar, Ko-ro-ba, Venna, Vonda, Victoria, on the Vosk, Market of Semris, Besnit, Esalinus, Harfax, Corcyus, Argentum, Torcadino, and others." — Dancer of Gor, page 102.

Spiked leather- It would be difficult, once seen, to ever forget the massively scarred, misshapen countenance of Krondar, a veteran of many bouts with the spiked leather, and the knife gauntlets, in Ar.
Guardsmen of Gor page 94

E-Racing Stadium...Stadium in which tarn races are held..."I left the tiers of the racing stadium and began to walk down the long, sloping stone ramp, level by level. There were few leaving the races but I did pass some late comers, moving up the ramps, who had perhaps been detained or had been released from their shops only late in the day." — Assassin of Gor, page 155.

Message arrow- "There are a variety of ways in which one can communicate with the holding," he said, "flighted vulos, message arrows, signals from the ground, such things."
Rebels of Gor Page 153

waniyanpi: This literally means "tame cattle" and refers to certain agricultural communties within the tribes.

I - Immunity of the Herald "Lysias, looked about himself. "I claim the immunity of the herald!" he cried.
"It is yours," said Samos. Then he spoke to a page. — Raiders of Gor, page 156.

darkosis Assassin of Gor: Page 268 I nodded curtly, and turned to leave. "One thing more to this little story," said Flaminius. lifted the bottle to me. "What is that?" I asked. "At the games on the second of En'Kara, in the of Blades," said he, "I saw the High Initiate, Complicius Serenus." "So?" said I. "He does not know it," said Flaminius, "nor will he learn for perhaps a year." "Learn what?" I asked. Flaminius laughed and poured himself another drink. "That he is dying of Dar-kosis," he sai

E - Exposition Cages "access to the exposition cage area is free to the public prior to the sale, but, after the fourteenth Ahn, the Curulean is cleared and made ready for the evening's work; after that time a citizen must pay to enter the market…" — Assassin of Gor, page 287.

Salerian Confederation- "Vonda was one of the four cities of the Salerian Confederation. The other cities of this confederation were Ti, Port Olni and Lara. All four of these cities lie on the Olni River, which is a tributary to the Vosk. Ti is farthest from the confluence of the Olni and Vosk; downriver from Ti is Port Olni; these were the first two cities to form a league, originally intended for the control of river pirates and the protection of inland shipping;" Fighting Slave of Gor page171

N-Ngao... An inland (Schendi) word which means "Shield." "Lake Ngao, which was discovered by Shaba, and named by him, was named for a shield, because of its long, oval shape. The shields in this area tend to have that shape. It is also an inland word, of course." — Explorers of Gor, page 100.

Onager- "deck areas and deck castles can accommodate springals, small catapults, and chain-sling onagers, not to mention numerous bowmen, all of which can provide a most discouraging and vicious barrage, consisting normally of javelins, burning pitch, fiery rocks and crossbow quarrels"
Raiders of Gor Page 133

R - Readying Compound "I brought the tarn down behind the tiers in the Stadium of Tarns, in the Readying Compound of the Steels. I heard the warning bar for a race about to begin." — Assassin of Gor, page 350.

Dyers caste- "...its libraries, its records and files; its cubicles for Smiths, Bakers, Cosmeticians, Bleachers, Dyers, Weavers, and Leather Workers..." Assassin of Gor, page 111

E-Esalinus...One of the major cities of slave trade...."These wholesalers usually distribute to retailers, in their individual cities, or, often, also, in well-known slaving centers, of which there are many, for example, Ar, Ko-ro-ba, Venna, Vonda, Victoria, on the Vosk, Market of Semris, Besnit, Esalinus, Harfax, Corcyus, Argentum, Torcadino, and others." — Dancer of Gor, page 102.

S - Salt Leach - "I flicked a salt leach from the side of my light rush craft with the corner of the tem-wood paddle." — Raiders of Gor, page 5.

H - Haruspex "I heard a haruspex singing between the wagons; for a piece of meat he would read the wind and the grass; for a cup of wine the stars and the flight of birds; for a fat-bellied dinner the liver of a sleen or slave." — Nomads of Gor, page 27.

X-kajare name Xenia/Ximena= from the Greek "Xenia", hospitality to a stranger......there is no X word...so using next to the last which is E-Ear Notching...First offense penalty for thievery..."Ear notching is the first penalty for a convicted thief in most Gorean cities, whether male or female." — Hunters of Gor, page 23

E - Enameler "He seemed a downcast, defeated man. He carried the table past us, which he had taken to the shop of a carver and enameler, to be inlaid with a Kaissa board." — Slave Girl of Gor, page 295.

R-Rask...One of the most notorious of Raiders of Treve. His peers may have considered him an ass, but the word does not translate to that. In the books of John Norman, Rask is simply, a man's name...."Rask of Treve, as a raider true to the codes of Treve…" — Captive of Gor, page 190.

K - Kaffiyeh "The man, rare in Port Kar, wore the kaffiyeh and agal. The kaffiyeh is a squarish scarf, folded over into a triangle, and placed over the head, two points at the side of the shoulders, one in back to protect the back of the neck. It is bound to the head by several loops of cord, the agal. The cording indicates tribe and district." — Tribesmen of Gor, page 20.

H--Harness...Usually of leather, used for the binding of a slave or captive...To one side, stripped, bound tightly in black leather, hand and foot, straps crossing between her breasts and circling her thighs, to which her wrists were secured, in buckled cuffs, knelt a whitish-skinned girl, blond, frightened. … She shuddered, and squirmed in the straps. Her fists were clenched at her thighs, beside which they were held in the cuff straps of her harness. — Tribesmen of Gor, pages 9-10.

S - Sa "Please, Tatankasa," had said Canka. This was what he had called me, when he had learned that I was willing to fight with his men, no quarter given or taken. It means, in effect, Red Bull." Tatanka" designates the kailiauk bull, and the suffix 'sa' means red. In Kaiila, as in most of the languages of the Barrens, the adjective commonly succeeds the noun. The name was one in which respect was conveyed. — Blood Brothers of Gor, page 15.

A-Adder A poisonous snake..."Another was slain when an adder forced into his mouth tore its way free through the side of his face." — Marauders of Gor, pages 26.

R - Ragnar's Hamlet - "I had stopped also at Hammerfest and Ragnar's Hamlet, the latter actually, now, a good-sized town." — Rogue of Gor, page 63.

T - Takiyuhawi "The current moon was Takiyuhawi, the moon in which the tabuk rut. It is sometimes known also as Canpasapawi, or the moon when the chokecherries are ripe." — Blood Brothers of Gor, page 5.

Iron pens- She laughed. The allusion was to certain practices having to do with the merchandising of Red Silk Girls, in private sales for individual and important clients of the House. At certain times of the year several such booths are set up within the courtyard of a slaver's house; in each, unclothed, chained by the left ankle to a ring, on furs,

is a choice Red Silk Girl; prospective buyers, usually accompanied by a member of the Caste of Physicians, in the presence of the slaver's agent, examine various girls; when particular interest is indicated in one, the Physician and the slaver's agent withdraw; when, after this, the girl is not purchased, or at least seriously bid upon, she is beaten severely or, perhaps worse, is touched for a full Ehn by the slave goad;

if, after two or three such opportunities, the girl is not sold, she is given further training; if after this she is still not sold she is usually returned to the iron pens whence, with other girls, considered to be of inferior value, she will be sold at a price in one of the smaller markets, perhaps even in a minor city. Most girls, it might be mentioned, even extremely choice specimens, are never in the booths; generally the slaver has a chance at a higher price when there are many

buyers bidding against one another in the heat of an auction.

"Very well, Red Silk Girl," said I, "perform."

"Yes, Master," said she, obediently."



Assassin of gor page 122

S - Saddle Blankets "Then I passed a shop where the high, light kaiila saddles were being made. One could also buy there, saddle blankets, quirts, bells and kaiila reins." — Tribesmen of Gor, page 56.

S - Sa'ng - "On the wall itself over the gate in huge letters there was scrawled the legend 'Sa'ng-Fori,' literally 'Without Chains' but perhaps better translated simply as 'Freedom' or 'Liberty'." — Outlaw of Gor, page 216.

G - Gaming Rooms "Yes," said Portus, "but they do little-they are well paid, more than twice what was done before, but they spend the mornings in practices with arms, and the afternoons and evenings in the taverns, the gaming rooms and baths of the city." — Assassin of Gor, page 17.

S = Sapphire - From the lobe of each small, round ear there hung an enormous earring, a sapphire pendant on a golden stalk." — Outlaw of Gor, page 191.

E - En-Var "If all went well, we expected she would be in Ar, and perhaps in the House of Cernus, by the end of En'Var." — Assassin of Gor, pages 78-79.

Road of Clearchus- In the old days the road of Clearchus was often referred to as the “west road.” This designation became less useful after the recent opening of the road of Cyprianus. It is not unusual, now, to refer to the road of Clearchus as the “old west road” and that of Cyprianus as the “new west road.” Neither of these roads, incidentally, are “great roads,” in the sense of being mounted in the earth several feet deep, built of stone like a sunken wall, the sort of roads which are often

intended to last a thousand years, the sort of roads which, typically, are found in the vicinity of large cities or are intended to be military roads, speeding directly to traditionally disputed territories or linking strategic points. These roads are both secondary roads, so to speak, generally graveled and rutted; occasionally they are paved with such materials as logs and plated stone; they can be almost impassable in rainy weather and in dry,

warm weather, they are often dusty. Tertiary roads, so to speak, are often little more than unfrequented twisting trails. There is often talk of improving the secondary roads, and sometimes something is done, but generally little is accomplished. The major consideration, of course, is money. Too, many roads, for great portions of their length are not clearly within the jurisdiction of given states. Power in Gorean cities tends to vary with the power of the

Home Stones, which tends to fluctuate with the military and economic fortunes of the city. The notion of the fixed and absolute border is not a typical Gorean notion. Players of Gor page 100

S = Sand Veils- "He pulled his sand veil, yellow, from his dark face, down about his throat." — Tribesmen of Gor, page 59.

Skjern- "Haakon of Skjern, it seemed, still remained in Ko-ro-ba. It lies west of bleak, rocky Torvaldsland, substantially above even the vast, green belt of the northern forests. The men of Skjern seldom ventured as far south, or as much inland, as Ko-ro-ba, the Towers of the Morning."
Captive of Gor - pg. 198

N - Napoktan "The land of the Napoktan, or Bracelets band of the Kaiila, is east of the Snake, and north of the Northern Kaiila, and the Kaiila proper." — Blood Brothers of Gor, pages 24.

N= Noodles - "I can be up the stairs in an instant," said Marcus, "and open him like a bag of noodles." — Magicians of Gor, page 273.

S - Sales Pavilion "I came to the great sales pavilion, but it was now roped off and quiet. There was much activity, and bustle, however, among the platforms… There are hundreds of such platforms… Sales take place at night in the pavillion, from a sawdust-strewn block, under the light of torches …" — Beasts of Gor, page 53.

N = Naartok - "The word 'Naartok' in the language of the Innuit means 'Fat Belly'." — Beasts of Gor, page 294.

K - Kaiila goads "He wore, too, kaiila boots, with belled, silver heel points, kaiila goads." — Savages of Gor, page 100.

K - Kaiila Crop "Then slowly she put the long, supple, leather kaiila crop into my hand. — Tribesmen of Gor, page 198.

Prison moon the largest of the 3 moons

N - Nondominant "We have three, or, if you prefer, four sexes," it said." There is then a form of Kur which closely resembles the dominant but does not join in the killings or mate. You may, or may not, regard this as two sexes… Of course there is a biological order," he said… "There is first the dominant, and then the egg-carrier, and then the nondominant, and then, if one considers such things Kur, the blood-nurser." — Beasts of Gor, page 370.

T- Tetrapoli: part of the Vosk League, further west on the river than Ar's Station. It began as four separate towns, Ri, Teibar, Heiban and Azdak. Legend states that the towns were formed by four brothers.

I = Istawicayazanwi - "The preceding moon was the Sore-Eye Moon, or Istawicayazanwi. Because of its uncertain weather, the possible freezes and storms, and its harsh winds, this month had been avoided by Grunt." — Savages of Gor, page 144.

I - Iskander "I had later voyaged down river to Iskander, Forestport, and Ar's Station." — Rogue of Gor, page 62.

R = Real-Name - "Members of low castes often call themselves by a use-name, reserving the real name for intimates and friends, to protect it against capture by a sorcerer or worker of spells who might use it to do them harm." — Outlaw of Gor, page 30.

E- Exotic Slaves - "Then in what way are they exotic?" I asked.
Ho-Tu looked at me and grinned. "They know nothing of men," said he.
"You mean they are White Silk?" I asked.
He laughed. "I mean they have been raised from the time they were infants in these gardens. They have never looked on a man. They do not know they exist." ~Assassin of Gor, p. 114-116

S- Sting Fly; "The sting of the sting fly is painful, extremely so, but it is usually not, unless inflicted in great numbers, dangerous. Several stings, however, and even a few, depending on the individual, can induce nausea. Men have died from the stings of the flies but usually in such cases they have been inflicted in great numbers. A common reaction to the venom of the fly incidentally is a painful swelling in the area of the sting." Vagabonds of Gor

Y = Yellow Pool of Turia - "He fell back from my blade, turned once and fell into the glistening, living liquid of the Yellow Pool of Turia." — Nomads of Gor, page 214.

T - Torcodino see above quote

O-Oblique Advance...Developed by Dietrich of Tarnburgh, this formation makes it possible for armies to choose to attack limited portions of the enemy, therefore engaging a much larger army and chipping away at it piece by piece.
"He was also the initiator of the oblique advance in Gorean field warfare, whereby large numbers of men may be concentrated at crucial points while the balance of the enemy remains unengaged." — Mercenaries of Gor, page 32.

E - Eel Tongue "One dish I recall was composed of the tongues of eels and was sprinkled with flavored aphrodisiacs, the latter however being wasted on me as I spent, to Elizabeth's consternation, the night lying on my side in great pain." Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 204

Ehn- The Gorean day consists of twenty Ahn; the Gorean Ahn, or hour, of forty Ehn, or minutes; the Ehn consists of eighty Ihn, or seconds. An Ihn is slightly less than an Earth second. Tribesmen of Gor Page 352

N - Notarized "Anticipating such a desire," laughed Verna, "we had written confirmation of the enactment, signed with the seal of Marlenus himself. Further, documents proclaiming the disowning, officially notarized with the seals of Ar and Marlenus, will soon be posted in all the major Gorean cities."
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 131

D = Dance of the Larl Hunters - "Near the pit of sand several slave girls, dancers, in Pleasure Silk were kneeling back on their heels and clapping their hands with glee… A moment later another guard leaped into the pit of sand and, to the amusement of the girls, began a dance of larl hunters, joined by two or three others, in a file, dancing the stalking of the beast, the confrontation, the kill." — Assassin of Gor, page 240.

S - Spreading bosk horn ( brand ) "Each of these, I was later to learn, wore on his forearm a tiny brand, in the form of spreading bosk horns, which guaranteed his passage, at certain seasons, across the plains of the Wagon Peoples."
Nomads of Gor Book 4 Page 34

O - Odds Merchant "Further, at this time, the odds merchants of the Stadium of Tarns, made it known that the administrator was heavily in debt, and they, not to be left out, demanded their dues." — Assassin of Gor, page 234.

T = Table Slave - ""Serve me wine," Ho-Sorl ordered Phyllis Robertson, though she was far across the room, and there were several girls nearer. This was not unusual, however, for Ho-Sorl invariably demanded that the proud Phyllis, who professed to despise him, serve him as table slave, which service she would ultimately, irritably, head in the air, have to render him, whether it be merely the pouring of his wine or the offering of a grape held delicately between her teeth. — Assassin of Gor

E-Egg-Carrier...A "female" of the Kur."We have three, or, if you prefer, four sexes," it said "There is then the egg-carrier who is impregnated. This form of Kur is smaller than the dominant or the non-dominant, speaking thusly of the nonreproducing form of Kur..."The egg-earner is the female," I said..."If you like," said the beast… — Beasts of Gor, pages 368-369...

"Of course there is a biological order," he said …" There is first the dominant, and then the egg-carrier, and then the nondominant, and then, if one considers such things Kur, the blood-nurser." — Beasts of Gor, page 370.

R = Return to Turia - "… the Omen Year, or season, lasts several months, and consists of three phases, called the Passing of Turia, which takes place in the fall; the Wintering, which takes place north of Turia and commonly south of the Cartius, the equator of course lying to the north in this hemisphere; and the Return to Turia, in the spring, or, as the Wagon Peoples say, in the Season of Little Grass.." — Nomads of Gor, page 11.

Armored gatch- "...On the floor itself are also found several varieties of animal life, in particular marsupials, such as the armored gatch, and rodents, such as slees and ground urts. Several varieties of tarsk, large and small, also inhabit this zone..." Explorers of Gor, page 312

H = Hail - "Greetings, Teibar!" called a fellow.
"Hail, Teibar!" called another. From the latter manner of greeting, I gathered this Teibar might be excellent with the staff, or sword. Such greetings are usually reserved for recognized experts, or champions, at one thing or another. For example, a skilled Kaissa player is sometimes greeted in such a manner." — Magicians of Gor, page 52.

L-Lang Gim...A bird common in the Ushindi..."In the ground zone, and on the ground itself, are certain birds, some flighted, like the hook-billed gort, which preys largely on rodents, such as ground urts, and the insectivorous whistling finch, and some unflighted, like the grub borer and lang gim." — Explorers of Gor, page 311.

M - Monkey. "Monkeys and tree urts, and snakes and insects, however, can also be found in this highest level." Explorers of Gor

K - Kajuralia. “The Kajuralia, or the Holiday of Slaves, or Festival of Slaves, occurs in most of the northern, civilized cities of known Gor once a year. The only exception to this that I know of is Port Kar, in the delta of the Vosk. The date of the Kajuralia, however, differs.” Assassin of Gor

A - Aedile "A body was found, that of an official of Venna, an aedile, I think."
Dancer of Gor Book 22 Page 336

E-Exposure on Boards...(Also: Chained on Boards)...An ancient form of execution in which the offender is chained by means of collar and shackles on parallel upright boards. It is a long, tortuous death, often taken two to three days. This means of execution is most common in harbor cities..."This, like hanging in chains, the exposure on boards, and such, is a very ancient modality of execution." — of Gor, pages 14-15.

S - Scribes of the Law He was replaced by a member of the Taurentians, Seremides of Tyros, nominated by Saphronicus of Tyros, Captain of the Taurentians. Shortly thereafter Maximus Hegesius Quintilius was found dead, poisoned by the bite of a girl in his Pleasure Gardens, who, before she could be brought before the Scribes of the Law, was strangled by enraged Taurentians, to whom she had been turned over;
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Pages 233 - 234

War of the sexes- In Gorean mythology it is said that there was once a war between men and women and that the women lost, and that the Priest-Kings, not wishing the women to be killed, made them beautiful, but as the price of this gift decreed that they, and their daughters, to the end of time, would be the slaves of men. Dancer of Gor Page 352

S - Slave Papers "I have her slave papers here," said Ulafi, "delivered with her this morning by Vart's man."
He handed them to the praetor.
"She does not respond as a slave because she has not yet learned her slavery," said Ulafi. "She has not yet learned the collar and the whip."
The praetor examined the papers. In Ar slaves are often fingerprinted. The prints are contained in the papers.
Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 66

Second knowledge- "'You must learn,' Torm had said matter-of-factly, 'the history and legends of Gor, its geography and economics, its social structures and customs, such as the caste system and clan groups, the right of placing the Home Stone, the Places of Sanctuary, when quarter is and is not permitted in war, and so on.'"
"Tarnsman of Gor" Page 40

E - Errand Capsule "I did have an errand capsule, a capped, narrow leather cylinder, such as may be used for carrying notes, messages, and such, on a string about my neck, the string over my collar." — Dancer of Gor, page 299.

Eel, dock- The leg seemed gouged. The dock eels, black, about four feet long, are tenacious creatures. They had not relinquished their hold on the flesh in their jaws when they had been forcibly struck away from the leg, back into the water. Rogue of Gor, pg. 155

L - Lighters of Lanterns (Caste) Outside on the bridges I hear the cry of the Lighter of Lanterns. "Light your lamps," he calls. "Light the lamps of love."
Outlaw of Gor Book 2 Page 252

I believe the letter in play is 'K'.

So be it. In English, the adjective usually precedes the noun, which would then make the last letter L, hence the lantern lighters.

Well, it is a game rather than an a class exercise. I thank you for your cooperation, and now return you all to your regularly scheduled program.

K-Kaftan...A silken lounging robe worn by free men of the Tahari..."Ibn Saran, in silken kaftan, and kaffiyeh and agal, strode to the rack." — Tribesmen of Gor, page 111.??? or (you choose)...S-Saddle Blanket Coarse blankets to protect the hide of the kaiila..."Then I passed a shop where the high, light kaiila saddles were being made. One could also buy there, saddle blankets, quirts, bells and kaiila reins." — Tribesmen of Gor, page 56

N - Nets Then before us a woman screamed, stopping, pointing. "They have nets!" she cried. We were being driven toward the nets. — Raiders of Gor, page 51.

Sul paga- Sul paga is, when distilled, though the Sul itself is yellow, as clear as water. The Sul is a tuberous root of the Sul plant; it is a Gorean staple. He could have been commenting only on the potentcy of the drink, for Sul paga is almost tasteless. One does not guzzle Sul paga.- Slave Girl of Gor, page 134

A - Actors it might be noted that many dramatic masks have megaphonic devices built into them which tend to amplify the actors' voices.
Players of Gor Book 20 Page 47

Sulport- "West of Ar's Station on the river I had visited Jort's Ferry, Point Alfred, Jasmine, Siba, Sais, and Sulport."
"Rogue of Gor" page 63

Savages of Gor Book 17 Page 97

R - Ri "Tetrapoli, on the other hand, began as four separate towns, Ri, Teibar, Heiban and Azdal, as legend has it founded by four brothers.'" — Rogue of Gor, page 63.

I - Igloo "Yet in the language of the Innuit, or of the People, the word 'igloo' or 'iglu' designates more generally a dwelling or house. For example, it is not necessary for an igloo to be made from snow or ice. Imnak's half-underground hut, or house, at the permanent camp, for example, was also called an igloo." — Beasts of Gor, page 336.

O = Outlaw - "A man who refused to practice his livelihood or strove to alter status without the consent of the Council of High Castes was, by definition, an outlaw and subject to impalement." — Tarnsman of Gor, page 46.

W - Water Carrier On the way to the street of weapon makers I again passed the water carrier. His bag on his shoulder was now, again, damp, dark, bulging.
"Tal, Master," said he to me.
"Tal." said I to him.
Tribesmen of Gor Book 10 Page 59

Rence knife- One holds the stem of the plant in the left hand and, with the right, with a rence knife, a small, curved, two-inch knife makes a diagonal upward stroke. Raiders of GorPage 27

E - Egg-Carrier "We have three, or, if you prefer, four sexes," it said … "There is then the egg-carrier who is impregnated. This form of Kur is smaller than the dominant or the non-dominant, speaking thusly of the nonreproducing form of Kur." — Beasts of Gor, page 370.

R = Refusal Of Bread, Salt and Fire - To my astonishment bread, and salt, and a small, falming brand were brough to him. There were shouts of dismay from those assembled. I could not believe my eyes. Marlenus took the bread and broke it apart in his large hands. "You are refused bread," said Marlenus, placing the bread back on the tray. There were shouts of astonishment in the court. Marlenus had taken the salt, lifted it from the tray, and replaced it.
[c]

"Your are refused salt," he said." No!" Came the shouts from hundreds of voices." No!" Marlenus then, looking at me, took the small brand of fire in his hand. There was a leaf of fire, bright yellow, at its tip. He thrust the brand into the salt, extinguishing it.
"You are refused fire," he said. There was silence in the court of the Ubar.
[c]

"You are herewith, by the edict of the Ubar," said Marlenus, "commanded from the city of Ar, to depart before sundown of this day, not to return on pain of penalty of torture and impalement." — Assassin of Gor, pages 404-405.

E - Eta "In Gorean," said Bosk, "the most frequently occurring letter is Eta… Over forty percent of the language consists of the first five letters I mentioned, Eta, Tau, Al-Ka, Omnion and Nu… Further, over sixty percent of the language consists of those five letters plus Ar, Ina, Shu and Homan." — Slave Girl of Gor, pages 383-384.

A = Autumnal Equinox - "It was fourth day of the sixth passage hand, shortly before the Autumnal Equinox, which in the common Gorean calendar begins the month of Se'Kara." — Raiders of Gor, page 1.

going with the O as it seems to be the way.. O - Outlaw "What do you want?" asked the carrier of wood, who must now have noticed that my shield and accouterments bore no insignia, and would have concluded that I was an outlaw.
Outlaw of Gor Book 2 Page 28

Great word christina, I used it earlier, about 9 posts up.

then O - Ordinance The Priest-Kings have set limits to the devices of men upon this world. They favor the spear and the bow, the sword and the steel of the knife. But Kurii lived not under their ordinances.
Beasts of Gor Book 12 Page 436

E = Eleven Kisses - "He had advertised a girl as a trained pleasure slave who, as it turned out, did not even know the eleven kisses." — Explorers of Gor, page 36.

S=Sacred Affliction...See: "Dar-Kosis",,,"The figure seemed to shrink backward and grow smaller in its yellow rags. Pointing to its shadowed, concealed face, it whispered, 'The Holy Disease.' That was the literal translation of Dar-Kosis—the Holy Disease—or, equivalently, the Sacred Affliction." — Tarnsman of Gor, page 150.

N - (Oasis of) Nine Wells: This is a major oasis, held by Sulieman of the Aretai, one of the largest in the Tahari. About 20,000 people live there, mostly small farmers, craftsmen and their families. It has an inn with stables, two public baths, and a public well located near the chamber of justice. Sulieman's palace is a lavish structure with lush Pleasure Gardens. In its great room, the entry portal is carved and turret-shaped, while the floor is composed of red tiles

S-Saddle Knife...Also known as the quiva; favored weapon of the wagon peoples...."This Tuchuk horn bow was now strung, the quiver attached to the saddle with the rope sword; I carried the killing knife I had taken from the back of Mip; lastly, thrust in my belt, was the double-edged quiva, the Tuchuk saddle knife." — Assassin of Gor, page 366.

E - Emptiness "The area, in extent, east of Tor, was hundreds of pasangs in depth, and perhaps thousands in length. The Gorean expression for this area simply means the Wastes, or the Emptiness." — Tribesmen of Gor, page 33.

S - Sa'ng-Fori - "On the wall itself over the gate in huge letters there was scrawled the legend 'Sa'ng-Fori,' literally 'Without Chains' but perhaps better translated simply as 'Freedom' or 'Liberty'." — Outlaw of Gor, page 216.

I - Ice Moutnain "Gorean has no expression specifically for an iceberg. The same expression is used for both mountain and iceberg. If a reference should he unclear the expression is qualified, as by saying, 'ice mountain.' A mountain is a mountain to Goreans, regardless of whether it be formed of soil and stone, or ice." — Beasts of Gor, page 37.

N - Neromiktok - "The word 'Neromiktok', in the language of the People. means 'Smooth-and-Soft-to-Touch'." — Beasts of Gor, page 425.

K- Kal-da And there were how many more, yoked and unyoked, bound and free, in the mines, on the Great Farms, in the city itself who suffered the misery of Tharna and her laws, who were subject to the crushing weight of her traditions, and knew at best nothing better in life than a bowl of cheap Kal-da at the end of a day's arduous, inglorious labor?
Outlaw of Gor Book 2 Page 126

A - Aphrodisiacs
One dish I recall was composed of the tongues of eels and was sprinkled with flavored aphrodisiacs,
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 204

S - Squirmings "Yes," I said, "this any slave girl must learn, such things as the kisses, the touches, the squirmings, the thousand submissions."
Savages of Gor Book 17 Page 200

S-Salt Leach...Blood sucking worm found in marshy areas..."I flicked a salt leach from the side of my light rush craft with the corner of the tem-wood paddle." — Raiders of Gor, page 5.

H - Honor "Kazrak of Port Kar," said Mintar, "do you agree to surrender the balance of your hiring price to Tarl of Bristol if he takes your place in my service?"
"Yes," responded Kazrak. "He has done me honor and is my sword brother."
Tarnsman of Gor Book 1 Pages 117 - 121

R-Reed Pen...A writing utensil made from the reeds found in marshes, then filled with ink...."in Gorean script, moving from left to right, and then from right to left on alternate lines. The writing was quite legible. It was written in black ink, probably with a reed pen. This again suggested the delta of the Vosk." — — Nomads of Gor, page 50.

N - Netmen "The wing one bird was apparently broken, for the netmen, after binding it, quickly cut its throat, the blood falling through the net, staining it, soaking into the sand below in a brownish red patch. Its rider took the saddle and control straps from the still-quivering bird and dropped with them through the broad strands of the net, to the sand some six feet below." — Assassin of Gor, pages 138-139.

N - Nose Ring - "I supposed that on the morrow Kamchak would call for the Tuchuk Iron Master, to brand what he called his little barbarian… following the branding, I supposed that Kamchak would have one of the tiny nose rings affixed; all Tuchuk females, slave or free, wear such rings…" — Nomads of Gor, page 62.

G-Gliding Urt...Inhabits the rainforests inland of Schendi; much like a flying-squirrel..."Here, too, may be found snakes and monkeys, gliding urts, leaf urts, squirrels, climbing, long-tailed porcupines, lizards, sloths, and the usual varieties of insects, ants, centipedes, scorpions, beetles and flies, and so on." — Explorers of Gor, page 311.

T - Testimony "The testimony of slaves is commonly taken under torture," said the officer.
Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 632

Y - Year Names - The traditional naming of years by the Wagon People, generally named for an important event.

S- sumptuary laws--It might be added that in many Gorean cities and towns, professional companions are outlawed, their presence being construed as violating sumptuary laws.
Plunder of Gor Book 34 Page 159

S - Sacramasax - The Alar version of the gladius.

Wow, that's quite the challenge!

X - *X rays. Energy rays of an unknown origin used for sterilization. "I would later learn that these rays, which passed through my body as easily and harmlessly as sunlight through glass, were indexed to the metabolic physiology of various organisms which can infect Priest-Kings." (Priest-Kings of Gor) *These rays are not named in the books, the source of their origin remains unknown hence the use of the algebraic symbol "X" meaning "an unknown value." Accept it or reject it as you wish.

S-Silk Thongs...Used by free women of the Tahari to improve their gait..."Free women, in the Tahari, incidentally, usually, when out of their houses, also measure their stride. Some fasten their own ankles together with silken thongs." — Tribesmen of Gor, pages 44-45...(((this was too funny to girl...she could just see a Lady walking around...or should girl say stumbling around...reminds girl of Mortisha Adams shuffle walk)))

S - Sumptuary Law "It might be added that in many Gorean cities and towns, professional companions are outlawed, their presence being construed as violating sumptuary laws." Plunder of Gor Book 34 Page 159

W=Wristlet...Not much is described of the wristlets worn by men. Wristlets generally are a band of leather which encircles the wrists; protects the wrist..."You, Master," said Tina, to a handsome young seaman, who wore a wristlet studded with purplish stone, amethysts from Schendi, "would you be so kind as to rise and come forward." He stood before her, appreciatively, but warily. "You kissed me this afternoon," she told him. "Please do so again." — Hunters of Gor, pages 97-98.

T - Trade Advisor "'Decius' is a not uncommon name in the vicinity of Ar and Venna," said Addison Steele.
"I would not know," I said.
"There is, for example, Decius Albus, the trade advisor to the Ubar of Ar, Marlenus," said Addison Steele.
Quarry of Gor Book 35 Page 452

R-Readying Compound...The area tarn racers prepare their mounts..."I brought the tarn down behind the tiers in the Stadium of Tarns, in the Readying Compound of the Steels. I heard the warning bar for a race about to begin." — Assassin of Gor, page 350.

D - Due Process of Law "Due process of law, as you may see," said Kog, "was strictly observed."
"Thank you," I said, "my mind is now satisfactorily relieved on the matter."
Savages of Gor Book 17 Page 53

W - Wakapapi - "Wakapapi," said Cuwignaka to me. This is the Kaiila word for pemmican. A soft cake of this substance was pressed into my hands." — Blood Brothers of Gor, page 46.

I - Illegal Cutting "Such preserves are posted, and surrounded by ditches to keep out cattle and unlicensed wagoners. There are wardens who watch the trees, guarding against illegal cutting and pasturage, and inspectors who, each year, tally and examine them." Raiders of Gor Book 6 Page 141

G-Garrote...An instrument of execution, rather than a weapon...About my throat, closely looped, was a narrow golden chain. It was controlled by two narrow wooden handles, in his hand. "It was a girl-capture chain," I said. "It is to be distinguished sharply from the standard garrote, which is armed with wire and can cut a throat easily. The standard garrote, of course, is impractical for captures, for the victim, in even a reflexive movement, might cut her own throat. — Savages of Gor, page 180.

E - Eon "The Mother was hatched and flew her Nuptial Flight long before the discovery of the stabilization serums," said Misk. "We have managed to retard her aging considerably but eon by eon it has been apparent that our efforts have been less and less successful, and now there are no more eggs."
- Priest-Kings of Gor Book 3 Page 130

N-Nest War-.A war among the Priest-Kings themselves; one faction led by Misk, another by Sarm. The Nest War nearly destroyed the Priest-Kings, as well as the entire planet of Gor, forever..."I knew, as Kamchak and Kutaituchik did not, of the recent Nest War beneath the Sardar, and of the disruption in the technological complexes of the Nest…" - Nomads of Gor, page 51..."But some years ago, in the time of the Nest War, the power of the Priest-Kings was considerably reduced." - Beasts of Gor, pag

R - Regulation I talked long with Thurnock, discussing the plans for the enterprise in the forest, and my wishes for appointments and regulations at the camp.
Hunters of Gor Book 8 Page 100

N-Nykus...Literal translation: "Victory."..."The Gorean word for victory is 'Nykus,' which expression seems clearly influenced by 'Nike,' or 'Victory,' in classical Greek." — Explorers of Gor, pages 99-100.

S - She-urt "She may be wearing the garment of a she-urt," I said.
"That is known to us, Citizen," said he.
"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."
Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 60

T-Nuptual Flight...See: "Nest Feast Cycle."..."… Tola, Tolam and Tolama… They are the Anniversary of the Nuptial Flight," said Misk, "the Feast of the Deposition of the First Egg and the Celebration of the Hatching of the First Egg." — Priest-Kings of Gor, page 87.

T - Taluna "The chief says the river is dangerous beyond this point. He says there are hostile tribes, dangerous waters, great animals, monsters and talunas, white-skinned jungle girls." He indicated the blond-haired barbarian, kneeling, her hands tied behind her back, her neck-rope in the hands of Alice, who, in lovely repose, stood beside her. "He thought she might be one," he said. "I told him she was only an ordinary slave."
Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 303.

A-Ale...A strong beer favored in Torvald...."The Forkbeard himself now, from a wooden keg, poured a great tankard of ale, which must have been of the measure of five gallons. Over this he then closed his fist. It was the sign of the hammer, the sign of Thor. The tankard then, with two great bronze handles, was passed from hands to hands among the rowers. The men threw back their heads and, the liquid spilling down their bodies, drank ale. It was the victory ale." — Marauders of Gor, page 82.

E - Engraved "after these things there would only remains of course, an engraved Turian collar and the clothing of Elizabeth Cardwell Kajir." Nomads of Gor Book 4 Page 62

D-Diaz...One of the first white explorers to track out and map territories of the Barrens..."Some of these territories, apparently, had scarcely been penetrated since the days of the first white explorers of the Barrens, men such as Boswell, Diaz, Bento, Hastings and Hogarthe.' — Savages of Gor, page 148.

Zar- Between them they had, in the crusts, scratched a board for Zar. This resembles the Kaissa board. Pieces, however, may be placed only on the intersections of lines either within or at the edges of the board. Each player has nine pieces of equal value which are originally placed on the intersections of the nine interior vertical lines with what would be the rear horizontal line, constituted by the back edge of the board, from each player's point of view. The corners are not used in the

original placement, though they constitute legitimate move points after play begins. The pieces are commonly pebbles, or bits of verr dung, and sticks. The "pebbles" move first. Pieces move one intersection at a time, unless jumping. One may jump either the opponent's pieces or one's own. A jump must be made to an unoccupied point. Multiple jumps are permissible.

The object is to effect a complete exchange of original placements. The first player to fully occupy the opponent's initial position wins. Capturing, of course, does not occur. The game is one of strategy and maneuverability.
Tribesmen of Gor Page 265

R - Rites of Submission In those days it had been a portion of the Rites of Submission, as practiced in Tharna, to strip and bind the captive with yellow cords and place her on a scarlet rug, the yellow of the cord being symbolic of talenders, a flower often associated with feminine love and beauty, the scarlet of the rug being symbolic of blood, and perhaps of passion.
He who had captured the girl would place his sword to her breast and utter the ritual phrases of enslavement.

They were the last words she would hear as a free woman.
Weep, Free Maiden.
Remember your pride and weep. Remember your laughter and weep. Remember you were my enemy and weep. Now you are my helpless captive. Remember you stood against me.
Now you lie at my feet.
I have bound you with yellow cords.
I have placed you on the scarlet rug.
Thus by the laws of Tharna do I claim you. Remember you were free.
Know now you are my slave.
Weep, Slave Girl.

At this point the captor would untie the girl's ankles and complete the rite. When she rose from the rug to follow him, she was, in his eyes and hers, a slave.
Outlaw of Gor Book 2 Pages 204 - 205

Notarized- "Anticipating such a desire," laughed Verna, "we had written confirmation of the enactment, signed with the seal of Marlenus himself. Further, documents proclaiming the disowning, officially notarized with the seals of Ar and Marlenus, will soon be posted in all the major Gorean cities."- Hunters of Gor Page 131

D - Dina (Brand) Her brand, however, was not precisely the same as mine.
