Words are the lifeline of Gorean roleplay! Let's have a little fun with them!
Take the last letter of the Gorean word posted, then post a NEW Gorean word beginning with that letter.
(The word must be a Gorean word.)
Example:
THARLARION
The next post would be a word beginning with "N"......
N - NEEDLE TREE
... and so on.
Feel free to add a short description or quote that uses the word, if you wish!
Let's start with
FLAMINIUM (a scarlet red, large-budded, five-petaled flower)

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.

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.

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.

R - Rape Test "What of this slave?" I asked Msaliti, indicating the blond-haired barbarian.
"She is hot," admitted Msaliti.

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.

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>>

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.

(Elinor Brinton speaking with Acquisition Slaver of Kurii) (Captive of Gor, Chapter 10,
