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)

R=Reading Device A metal frame with rollers at the top and bottom; used for ease of reading scrolls..."With annoyance, Torm poked through one of the enormous piles of scrolls and at last, on his hands and knees, fished out one skimpy scroll, set it in the reading device - a metal frame with rollers at the top and bottom - and, pushing a button, spun the scroll to its opening mark, a single sign." — Tarnsman of Gor, page 37.
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.

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.

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."

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.
