The Harigga of the Tuchuks
TUCHUK QUOTES
Wagon Slaves
(Tuchuk Collars)
"The Turian collar lies loosely on the girl, a round ring; it fits so loosely that, when grasped in a man's fist, the girl can turn within it; the common Gorean collar, on the other hand, is flat, snugly fitting steel band. Both collars lock in the back, behind the girls neck. The Turian collar is more difficult to engrave, but it, like the flat collar, will bear some legend assuring that the girl, if found, will be promptly returned to her Master."
---Nomads of Gor, Pg. 19
(Clad Kajir)
"Among the Wagon Peoples, to be clad Kajir means, for a girl, to wear four articles, two red two black; a red cord, the Curla, is tied about the waist; the Chatka, or long , narrow strip of black leather, fits over the cord in front, passes under, and then again, from the inside, passes over the cord in back; the chatka is drawn tight; the Kalmack is then donned; it is a short sleeveless vest of black leather; lastly the koora, a strip of red cloth, matching the Curla, is wound about the head, to hold the hair back, for slave women, among the Wagon Peoples, are not permitted to braid, or otherwise dress their hair; it must be, save for the koora, worn loose. For a male slave, or Kajirus, of the Wagon Peoples, and there are few, save for the work chains, to be clad Kajir means to wear the Kes, a short, sleeveless work tunic of black leather."
---Nomads of Gor, Pg. 30
(Tuchuk Brand)
"The brand of the Tuchuk slave, incidentally, is not the same as that used in the cities, which for girls is the first letter of the expression Kajira in cursive script, but the sign of the four bosk horns, that of the Tuchuk standard, the brand of the four bosk horns, set in a manner to somewhat resemble the letter H, is only about an inch high."
---Nomads of Gor, Pg. 62
(Spirited)
"The wagon girls, watching this, some of them chewing on fruit or stalks of grass, jeered."
---Nomads of Gor, Pg. 117
(Some Daily Chores)
"There are bosk to be groomed," he informed her, "and their horns and hoofs must be polished there is fodder to be fetched and dung to be gathered the wagon must be wiped and the wheels greased and there is water to be brought from the stream some four pasangs away and meat to hammer and cook for supper! Hurry! Hurry, lazy girl!"
---Nomads of Gor, Pg. 135
(Slave Heirarchy)
'You will see,’ said Kamchak, ‘that she wears the pelt of a larl—that she is not collared, that she does not wear the nose ring, that she does not wear the brand.’ And then he added, ‘—as you will.’
Aphris trembled, her eyes pleading.
’Do you wonder, Little Aphris,’ asked Kamchak, ‘why the barbarian—though slave—is not clad Kajir, why she does not wear ring, brand and collar?’
’Why?’ asked Aphris, frightened.
’So that there will be one higher than you in the wagon,’ said Kamchak.
I had wondered why Kamchak had not treated Elizabeth Cardwell as any other enslaved wench of Tuchuks.
’For,’ said Kamchak, ‘among your other tasks, my dear, you will perform for this barbarian the duties of a female serving slave…If she does not work well,’ called Kamchak cheerily to Elizabeth, ‘beat her.’
