Too, few Kurii understand spoken Gorean without a translator, and few can do little more than produce a grotesque mockery of human phonemes. - (Rebels of Gor, Chapter 50, Sentence #182)

This utterance apparently came out, as I had hoped it would, as something unintelligible in Kur. This translator, as I had hoped, was either not capable of handling English or, if it could, then, at least, it was not currently set to English. Most Kur translators, as I understood it, at least on Gor, were set, as one would expect, for Gorean alone. Too, few Kurii understand spoken Gorean without a translator, and few can do little more than produce a grotesque mockery of human phonemes. To be fair, of course, few humans can do much with the phonemes of Kur either. As an analogy one would not expect a tiger, even an intelligent, rational tiger, if such could exist, to recite Shakespeare well, and a Shakespearean scholar would not be likely to soothe or satisfy a Kur audience with a rendition of even the simplest of their revered poets. Indeed, he would be well advised to refrain from the attempt. - (Rebels of Gor)
