45	47	He had understood this, perhaps, from my accent.	10
45	52	This accent was not that of the local guards, those I had encountered in the house, nor that of the captors, nor that of those of Treve.	10
45	53	Indeed, it reminded me in ways of my own early accent in this language, not with respect to my native tongue, which still influenced how I spoke the language, of course, but with respect to that which I had originally absorbed in learning the language, now so long ago.	10

17	170	"Do you hear the accent?" the father asked his son.	10
17	176	"Is accent so important, father?" "No," said his father, "particularly as some of these barbarians eventually become so fluent in Gorean, so skilled, that you could not detect, from their speech alone, that they were not native to our world".	10

21	740	Of the women who had spoken, only two had had an accent which suggested Ar.	10
33	181	She was barbarian, she was a mere paga girl, and from a low tavern, her accent was unusual, she had not been much trained, she was new to her collar, and she was just beginning to sense the heat of slave fires, in the grasp of which, perhaps even in days, she would find herself helpless.	10
