Brands THE KEF brand "I had now been branded, a small graceful mark burned into my left thigh, high, under the hip. It had a vertical bar, a rather strict one, with two curling, frond like extensions, rather near its base, as though in submission to it. It looked a little like a "K" That was mine, there were variations on this theme. Some of the other girls had similar brands, but, in one respect or another somewhat different. There were other sorts of brands, too, but the "K-type" brand was the most common. p66 Dancer of Gor THE DINA The Dina is another of the common slave brands found upon Gor. It is the brand given to the former Judy Thornton in Slave Girl of Gor. “.... My own brand was the "dina"; the dina is a small, lovely, flower with many petals, Short-stemmed, and blooming in a turf of green leaves, usually on the slopes of hills, in the northern temperate zones of Gor; in its budding, though in few other ways, it resembles a rose; it is an exotic alien flower; it is also spoken of, in the north, where it grows most frequently, as the slave flower...." p61 Slave Girl of Gor THE BRAND OF THE FOUR BOSK HORNS This is the mark that the Tuchuks use to brand their slaves. “.... The brand of the Tuchuk slave, incidentally...is the sign of the four bosk horns that of the Tuchuk standard; the brand of the four bosk horns, set in such a manner as to somewhat resemble the letter "H", is only about an inch high.... the brand of the four bosk horns , of course, is also used to mark the bosk of the Tuchuks, but there, of course, it is much larger p62 Nomads of Gor The MARK OF TREVE This was a brand given to slave girls owned by those of Treve. "Incised deeply, precisely, in that slim, lovely, now-bared thigh was a startling mark, beautiful, insolent, dramatically marking that beautiful thigh as that which it now could only be, that of a female slave" "It is beautiful," I whispered. ..."It is the first letter, in cursive script, " she said, " of the name of the city of Treve." p277 Captive of Gor THE BRAND OF TORVALDSLAND This brand was used by those of Torvaldsland to mark their slaves. The brand used by Forkbeard is not uncommon in the north, though there is less uniformity in Torvaldsland on these matters than in the south.... The brand used by the Forkbeard, found rather frequently in the north, consisted of a half circle, with at its right tip, adjoining it, a steep diagonal line. The half circle is about an inch and a quarter in width, and the diagonal line about an inch and a quarter in height. The brand is, like many symbolic. In the north, the bond-maid is sometimes referred to as a woman whose belly lies beneath the sword. p 105 Marauders of Gor THE TAHARIC SLAVE MARK This brand was used by those of the Tahari to brand their slaves. "The contact surface of the iron would be formed into the Taharic character 'Kef' ...Taharic is a very graceful script. It makes no distinctions between capital and small letters and little distinction between printed and cursive script.....The initial printed letter of 'Kajira', rather than the cursive letter, as generally, is used as the common brand for women in the Tahari. Both the cursive letter in common Gorean and the printed letter in Taharic are rather lovely, both being somewhat floral in appearance. p148 Tribesmen of Gor Penalty Brands These were brands used as a punishment to the slave girl. "Sometimes, too," she said, “a girl may be branded as a punishment, and to warn others against her." I looked at her puzzled. "Penalty brands," she said. "They are tiny, but clearly visible. There are various such brands. There is one for lying, and another for stealing." p277 Captive of Gor |
