A word game for ALL Goreans

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.

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?

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.
