"it is you who are stupid" she said "Anyone would know where he was here in this place.Do you think I do not know what mountais i am?do you think I cannot tell the coloration of the Voltain,the Scarlet Mountains? Do you think I am totally unaware of the distances and the times I travel? Do you think i cannot accoutements of the men of this place?Do you think the markings on the tarn saddles are in some foreign tongue? do you think the songs of the crowd are unintelligible to me? do you think i can recognize the seven towers of war the wall of Valens the standards on the bridge behind us the banners about those that fly even from the warehouses themselves?"

TRUE OR FALSE-IN SOME GOREAN CITIES IT IS A CAPITAL OFFENSE TO MAKE OR BE FOUND IN POSSESSION OF A CITY MAP "We will require a map of the depths," said the leader of the strangers "none exists in the city by policy" said the pit Master "just as no map of the city either may be prepared" this as I understood it was not uncommon in this world in some cities it is regarded as a captital offense to make or be found in possession of a city map. the motivations for such policies one assumes are military" WITNESS OF GOR PAGE 614 |

CLEPSDRAS A DEVICE THAT MARKS TIME WITH WATER ARE OF TWO SORTS THE INFLOW AND OUTFLOW VARIETIES. THE OUTFLOW CLEPSYDRAS ACCURACY IS CONTROLLED BY TWO FACTORS CAN YOU NAME THEM? "clepsydras are of two sorts the inflow and outflow varieties. the inflow devices add water to a container and the level in the container measures a unit of time the outflow devices drain water the time is measured then by the level of water remaining in the vessel the device in the quarters of the pit master was an outflow device its accuracy is controlled by two major factors its shape and the size of the aperture through which the water drains. it tapers toward the bottom to keep the water pressure constant that being required to regularize the speed of the flow a larger amount of water over a larger area exerting a pressure equivalent in its effect to that of a lesser amount over a smaller area the second major factor is the aperture itself this is a drilled plug which is periodically replaced if this were not the case the passage of water over time even a stone would enlarge the aperture deregularizing the device" WITNESS OF GOR PAGE 622 |

THE EARTH SLAVE JANICE IN WITNESS OF GOR CONTEMPLETES THE IDEA OF A WOMEN BEING VALUED ONLY FOR HER LOOKS THE "TROPHY WIFE" OF EARTH DOES JANICE SEE AN EQUIVALENT CONCEPT ON GOR? "i am happy to report that there is no Gorean expression which would be exactly equivalent to "trophy slave" but i am forced to admit in all honesty that the concept in effect or certainly a similare sort of concept is not unknown on Gor.In Gorean there is an expression which would rather literally translate as "display slave" and it seems that is much the same idea namely that the woman's value is seen to lie more in the ranges of a decoration and loves of a whole woman a living breathing loving passionate needful female the palanquins of rich men are sometimes followed by strings of back braceleted briefly tunicked neck chained display slaves" WITNESS OF GOR PAGE 624 |

UNLIKE THE WAR SLEEN AND FIGHTING SLEEN THE COLLAR OF THE HUNTING SLEEVE IS REMOVED THE BEAST IS SET ABOUT IT'S BUSINESS WHY IS THERE A DIFFERENCE? "the heavy collars were removed from the throats of the two sleen there is a difference in custom here with various sorts of sleen which might be remarked war sleen watch sleen fighting sleen and such when freed would normally retain the collars which are often pluted and spiked for the protection of the throat with hunting sleen on the other hand the collars are usually removed there are two views on this matter one view is that the collar might jeapardize the hunt for example that it might be caught in a branch or be somehow utilized to restrain the animal before it has located it qurry the other is that the removel of the collar returns the beast to its state of nautral savagery that it rmoves from it any inhibitions which might have resulted from its familiarity with human beings certainly it is difficult to recollar a hunting sleen until it has made its kill until it has been pacified sated with predesignated blood and meat. the two views of course are not mutually exclusive" WITNESS OF GOR PAGE 638-639 |

COMPLETE THE GOREAN PROVERB A MAN WHO IS RETURNING TO HIS CITY IS_________________? "How absurd it seemed to me that a mere sleen should have stood between me and my city.irrationally i laughed thinking how foolish the animal had been. but how could it have known?How could it have known that i was Tarl of Ko ra ba and that i was returning to his city is not to be detained.
