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.

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.

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. It was more slender, more vertical, more like a stem with floral, cursive loops, about an inch and a half in height, and a half inch in width; it was, I would later learn, the initial letter in cursive script of the Gorean expression 'Kajira'; my own brand was the "dina"; the dina is a small, lovely, multiply petaled flower,

A-Amusements of Tharna...This event was popular in the days of Lara the Tatrix in the city of Tharna before Lara fell from power and the men of Tharna were liberated...I heard the voice of Andreas next to me." Strange," said he, "usually the Tatrix does not attend the Amusements of Tharna." — Outlaw of Gor, page 109.

A - Agamemnon "I do not think," said Peisistratus, scanning the tiers, "that Lord Agamemnon will have his needful numbers."
Kur of Gor Book 28 Page 221

N - Nitrogen Termites, incidentally, are extremely important to the ecology of the forest. In their feeding they break down and destroy the branches and trunks of fallen trees. The termite "dust," thereafter, by the action of bacteria, is reduced to humus, and the humus to nitrogen and mineral materials.

S- Sa [2] - 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-Alars...The Alars are a nomadic, wandering herding people of the northern part of Gor, known for their adept skills with the axe..."We were now within the laager of Genserix, a chieftain of the Alars, a nomadic, wandering herding people, and one well-known, like the folks of Torvaldsland, for their skills with the ax." — Tarnsman of Gor, page 43.

S - Salerius - "The Salerian Confederation, incidentally, is also sometimes known as the Four Cities of Saleria. The expression 'Saleria', doubtless owing its origin to the meadow of Salerius, is used broadly, incidentally, to refer to the fertile basin territories both north and south of the Olni, the lands over which the confederation professes to maintain a hegemony. The meadow of Salerius, thus, lies on the northern bank of the Olni, between Port Olni and Vonda; [c]

the area called Saleria, on the other hand, is, in effect the lands controlled by the confederation." — Fighting Slave of Gor, pages 171-172.

S-Salerian Confederation...The alliance of four (4) cities on Gor, formed to rid the Olni River of the pirate influence and protect inland shipping. See also: "Four Cities of Saleria."..."… Ti, of the Four Cities of Saleria, of the Salerian Confederation." — Slave Girl of Gor, page 110.
