We both sat down again, the stone table between us, and my father calmly and methodically explained many things to me. - (Tarnsman of Gor, Chapter 2, Sentence #154)

"Yes," said my father at last, "I must speak to you of Priest-Kings". He smiled. "But let me begin in my own way, that you may better understand the nature of that whereof I speak". We both sat down again, the stone table between us, and my father calmly and methodically explained many things to me. As he spoke, my father often referred to the planet Gor as the Counter-Earth, taking the name from the writings of the Pythagoreans who had first speculated on the existence of such a body. Oddly enough, one of the expressions in the tongue of Gor for our sun was Lar-Torvis, which means The Central Fire, another Pythagorean expression, except that it had not been, as I understand it, originally used by the Pythagoreans to refer to the sun but to another body. The more common expression for the sun was Tor-tu-Gor, which means Light Upon the Home Stone. - (Tarnsman of Gor)
