“Tajima had now joined us. You saw? asked Tajima. “Sumomo belongs in a collar, ” I said. “She is Pani,” said Tajima. “Doubtless some women of the Pani are in collars,” I said. “Yes,” he said, “Primarily women of enemy houses. Taken, they may be reduced to collar girls.” — Mariners of Gor
“It was my understanding that a dialect of Gorean was spoken at the World’s End, that the Priest-Kings had seen to this. By there mysterious power, and secret sky ships, it seems they had long ago placed the Initiates amongst the Pani, perhaps centuries ago, who had taught them Gorean. – Swordsmen of Gor
“Though I had never been in that room, it’s window high , unshuttered, open to the sky, it obviously housed a number of the swift-flighted, messenger vulos, by means of which Pani might convey messages.” — Mariners of Gor
“I had no idea of how effective lower Pani, mostly peasants, impressed or enlisted as ashigaru, might be, as it was not their way of life, so to speak, as it seemed to be for higher Pani, such as the warriors of Lord Temmu, and Lords Nishida and Okimoto, but I was sure they could be trained, might be terrified not to fight, and, in any event, might be present in large numbers.” –– Mariners of Gor
“The Pani, discovering that the initiates were not marketing their golden pans but expected to receive something for nothing, as it were, or nothing tangible, asked them to step aside, as they were impeding the way of honest tradesmen. ” — Mariners of Gor
“On Continental Gor, green is the caste color of the Physicians. I did not know its meaning here.” – Mariners of Gor
“The green column,” said Lord Nishida, “might indicate that an area is safe to approach, even though it might lie in the the territory of Lord Yamada, no enemy being about, or that a passage has been cleared, or a castle may be approached, or such, and thus one might have green without red, but it would be unusual to have both green and red.” – Mariners of Gor
“Yellow,” said Lord Nishida to Cabot, “indicates that the holding of Lord Temmu stands.” – Mariners of Gor
“At the edge of the lacquered platform, one on each side, crouched two larls. Behind Lord Nishida, at the back of the platform, stood six of the “strange men” each armed with a glaive, the blade of which, socketed in its stout pole, was some two- and- a- half feet in length, and curved. “ — Swordsmen of Gor
“We are a formal, traditional people,” said Tajima. “The old ways are important to us. But we are also an intelligent, adaptive people, and always ready and eager to adopt useful devices, pleasant customs, and such” – Swordsmen of Gor (Kindle location 3910)
