Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
7	28	I gathered that once, in his earlier years, he might have been a rider of the kaiila, that he might have been skilled with the bow and lance, and the quiva; such a man would not need ceremony; I sensed that once this man might have ridden six hundred pasangs in a day, living on a mouthful of water a...	10
23	80	In a moment, maintaining my saddle in spite of the leaping and stumbling of my kaiila over the slain bosk, fallen kaiila and screaming men, I gave orders to turn the bosk back and reform them near the wagons.	10
2	96	The mount of the Wagon Peoples, unknown in the northern hemisphere of Gor, is the terrifying but beautiful kaiila.	10
2	101	I supposed, with the domesticated kaiila, a bound verr or a prisoner might be cast to the newborn animal.	10
2	102	The kaiila, once it eats its fill, does not touch food for several days.	10
2	103	The kaiila is extremely agile, and can easily outmaneuver the slower, more ponderous high tharlarion.	10
2	105	A kaiila, which normally stands about twenty to twenty-two hands at the shoulder, can cover as much as six hundred pasangs in a single day's riding.	10
2	107	The head of the kaiila bears two large eyes, one on each side, but these eyes are triply lidded, probably an adaptation to the environment which occasionally is wracked by severe storms of wind and dust; the adaptation, actually a transparent third lid, permits the animal to move as it wishes under ...	10
2	108	The kaiila is most dangerous under such conditions, and, as if it knew this, often uses such times for its hunt.	10
2	109	Now the rider had reined in the kaiila.	10
2	111	I could hear the soft thud of a kaiila's paws in the grass, to my right.	10
2	125	The kaiila moves with great rapidity.	10
2	131	The kaiila of these men were as tawny as the brown grass of the prairie, save for that of the man who faced me, whose mount was a silken, sable black, as black as the lacquer of the shield.	10
2	140	I saw the kaiila tense, almost like larls, their flanks quivering, their large eyes intent upon me.	10
2	181	"Hear my name," cried he, "I am Kamchak of the Tuchuks!" As suddenly as he had finished, as soon as the men had named themselves, as if a signal had been given, the four kaiila bounded forward, squealing with rage, each rider bent low on his mount, lance gripped in his right hand, straining to be th...	10
3	2	I might have thrown myself to the ground as the larl hunters from Ar, once their weapon is cast, covering myself with the shield; but then I would have been beneath the clawed paws of four squealing, snorting kaiila, while the riders jabbed at me with lances, off my feet, helpless.	10
3	5	At the last instant, the lances of four riders but a hand's breadth from my body, the enraged, thundering kaiila, hissing and squealing, at a touch of the control straps, arrested their fierce charge, stopping themselves, tearing into the deep turf with suddenly emergent claws.	10
3	7	The children of the Wagon Peoples are taught the saddle of the kaiila before they can walk.	10
3	23	At last the Tuchuk detached himself from the other three warriors and pranced his kaiila to within a dozen yards of me.	10
3	56	Angrily the Tuchuk pulled back on the reins of the kaiila, causing it to rear, snarling, pawing at the sky.	10
3	59	He turned his kaiila and in a bound or two swung it about in the midst of his fellows.	10
3	112	"Spirit of the Sky," he cried, "let the lance fall to me—to me!" Then abruptly, furious, he wheeled the kaiila and joined the others, whence he turned to regard me.	10
3	116	In their way I knew they were honoring me, that they had respected my stand in the matter of the charging lances, that now they were gambling to see who would win me, to whose weapons my blood must flow, beneath the paws of whose kaiila I must fall bloodied to the earth.	10
3	120	Here and there I saw riders, darting about, all mounted on the swift, graceful kaiila.	10
4	6	It seemed scarcely had he passed than the kaiila had wheeled and charged again, this time given free rein, that it might tear at me with its fangs.	10
4	8	The kaiila struck, and then withdrew, and then struck again.	10
4	22	I was later to learn that kaiila are trained to avoid the thrown spear.	10
4	24	Until the kaiila is suitably proficient in this art it is not allowed to breed.	10
4	27	As swift as may be the kaiila I had no doubt that I was swifter.	10
4	46	The three weights at the end of the straps were now almost blurring in the air and he, his song ended, the reins in his left hand, quiva blade now clenched between his teeth, bola in his swinging, uplifted right arm, suddenly cried out and kicked the kaiila into its charge.	10
4	52	To the head came the flashing bola moving in its hideous, swift revolution almost invisible in the air and I, instead of lowering my head or throwing myself to the ground, met instead the flying weighted leather with the blade of a Koroban short sword, with the edge that would divide silk dropped up...	10
4	62	His kaiila stood some yards away, shifting a bit, puzzled, reins loose on its neck.	10
5	2	Nearly were we run down by six riders on thundering kaiila who, riding for sport, raced past us wildly among the crowded, clustered wagons.	10
5	62	The sides of the wagon box, incidentally, are, here and there, perforated for arrow ports, for the small horn bow of the Wagon Peoples can be used to advantage not only from the back of a kaiila but, like the crossbow, from such cramped quarters.	10
5	72	There was the sudden thud of a kaiila's paws on the grass between the wagons and a wild snorting squeal.	10
5	76	She wore a brief leather skirt, slit on the right side to allow her the saddle of the kaiila; her leather blouse was sleeveless; attached to her shoulders was a crimson cape; and her wild black hair was bound back by a band of scarlet cloth.	10
5	84	The girl gave a snort of contempt and kicked her small, spurred heels into the flanks of the kaiila and bounded away.	10
5	116	I was about to press Kamchak on this matter when we heard a sudden shout and the squealing of kaiila from among the wagons.	10
6	10	Now I could see down the wide, grassy lane, loping towards us, two kaiila and riders.	10
6	12	The lance cleared the ground, given the height of the kaiila, by about five feet.	10
6	146	One of the warriors on the kaiila spoke.	10
6	179	"No, no, no!" Kamchak nodded to the two riders mounted on kaiila.	10
6	181	The two riders turned their kaiila and in a moment, moving rapidly, the girl running between them, had turned from the grassy lane and disappeared between the wagons.	10
7	29	And yet was I sad as I looked upon him, for I sensed that for this man there could no longer be the saddle of the kaiila, the whirling of the rope and bola, the hunt and the war.	10
7	74	Although there were risks involved I tried to translate as exactly as I could, letting Miss Cardwell speak as she would, though her words must often have sounded fantastic to the Tuchuks, for it was largely of a world alien to them that she spoke—a world not of autonomous cities but of huge n...	10
8	6	I did manage, however, from the back of the kaiila, which I learned to ride, to catch a glimpse of distant, high-walled, nine-gated Turia.	10
8	8	"Be patient, Tarl Cabot," said Kamchak, beside me on his kaiila.	10
8	40	They are then hunted from the back of the kaiila with bola and thongs.	10
8	49	I had seen strong men leap from the back of the kaiila and, on their knees, tears in their eyes, kiss the green, living grass.	10
8	51	They did not, in fact, even cross the western Cartius, far from cities, which they often do, swimming the bosk and kaiila, floating the wagons, the men often crossing on the backs of the swimming bosk.	10
8	54	* * * * On the back of the kaiila, the black lance in hand, bending down in the saddle, I raced past a wooden wand fixed in the earth, on the top of which was placed a dried tospit, a small, wrinkled, yellowish-white peachlike fruit, about the size of a plum, which grows on the tospit bush, patches ...	10
8	63	There was a thunder of kaiila paws on the worn turf and Conrad, with his red lance, nipped the tospit neatly from the tip of the wand, the lance point barely passing into it, he having drawn back at the last instant.	10
8	73	The rider who had made the unsatisfactory thrust suddenly whirled the kaiila toward the girl, and she fell to her knees, realizing she should not have revealed her pleasure at his failure, putting her head to the grass.	10
8	75	The rider's kaiila was now rearing over the girl, and he brought the beast to rest.	10
8	116	I had been troubled that the shock of her radical transposition between worlds, coupled with her reduction to servitude, might disarrange her mind, might shatter her and make her worthless to the Tuchuks, who might then have simply cast her to the kaiila and herd sleen.	10
8	175	* * * * Now the Kassar, mounted on his kaiila, his lance under the tip of the girl's chin, who knelt before him, looking up at him, suddenly laughed and removed the lance.	10
8	177	He rode his kaiila to Kamchak.	10
8	200	Indeed, it is not unknown that a Tuchuk will bet his entire stock of bosk on the outcome of a single kaiila race; as many as a dozen slave girls may change hands on something as small as the direction that a bird will fly or the number of seeds in a tospit.	10
8	223	In the crowd, on the back of a kaiila, I noted the girl Hereena, of the First Wagon, whom I had seen my first day in the camp of the Tuchuks, she who had almost ridden down Kamchak and myself between the wagons.	10
8	248	He did not even own a kaiila.	10
8	252	"You do not even own a kaiila," they would say.	10
8	258	Albrecht was rearing on his kaiila, loosening the bola at his saddle.	10
8	262	Kamchak raced his kaiila over to the edge of the crowd, entering into swift negotiation with a warrior, one whose wagon followed ours in the march of the Tuchuks.	10
8	282	Kamchak wheeled his kaiila and joined us.	10
8	290	A rider beside it, on a kaiila, marked its place.	10
8	295	The time in these matters is reckoned by the heartbeat of a standing kaiila.	10
8	300	Already a grizzled Tuchuk had his hand, palm flat, on the silken side of the standing kaiila.	10
8	304	The saddle of the kaiila, like the tarn saddle, is made in such a way as to accommodate, bound across it, a female captive, rings being fixed on both sides through which binding fiber or thong may be passed.	10
8	305	On the other hand, I knew, in this sport no time would be taken for such matters; in a few heartbeats of the kaiila the girl's wrists and ankles would be lashed together and she would be, without ceremony, slung over the pommel of the saddle, it the stake, her body the ring.	10
8	310	She would receive a start of fifteen beats of the great heart of the kaiila, after which she would be about half way to the lance.	10
8	314	At the count of fifteen, making no sound, not wanting to warn the girl, Conrad spurred the kaiila in pursuit, bola swinging.	10
8	322	It was scarcely ten beats and Conrad had bound the struggling, scratching Tuka, slung her about the pommel, raced back, kaiila squealing, and threw the girl, wrists tied to her ankles, to the turf inside the circle of the boskhide whip.	10
8	330	In terror Tuka looked up at Kamchak, mounted on his kaiila.	10
8	338	To my dismay, as he returned racing toward the circle of the boskhide whip the girl, a fine wench, managed to sink her teeth into the neck of the kaiila causing it to rear squealing and hissing, then striking at her.	10
8	339	By the time Kamchak had cuffed the girl from the animal's neck and struck the kaiila's snapping jaws from her twice-bitten leg and returned to the circle, he had used thirty-five beats.	10
8	352	Albrecht was grinning, swinging the bola lightly, not in a circle but in a gentle pendulum motion, beside the stirrup of the kaiila.	10
8	357	She had not, for example, timed her counting, for long hours, under the tutelage of a master, against the heartbeat of a kaiila, he keeping the beat but not informing her what it was, until she had called the beat.	10
8	362	She had misjudged the heartbeat or had not understood the swiftness of the kaiila, never having before observed it from the unenviable point of view of a quarry, because when she turned to see if her hunter had left the vicinity of the circle, he was upon her and as she cried out the bola struck her...	10
8	402	"If you win for us," Albrecht said to her, grinning down from the saddle of the kaiila, "this night you will be given a silver bracelet and five yards of scarlet silk".	10
8	458	Little did we know that one of those girls was Dina of Turia, who, of course, would run not for the skilled Kamchak, but for his awkward friend, the clumsy Tarl Cabot, not even of the Wagon Peoples, new to the kaiila and bola! Conrad and Albrecht had perhaps even come to the camp of the Tuchuks with...	10
8	461	But he had not; the fine little Turian wench who had been able to bite the neck of the kaiila, thereby risking her life incidentally, had seen to that.	10
8	464	I noted that his kaiila was within the whip circle, within which the girl stood.	10
8	481	It is dangerous, of course, to approach any but a naive, straight-running, perhaps terrified, girl at full speed, for should she dodge or move to one side, one will have to slow the kaiila to turn it after her, lest one be carried past her too rapidly, even at the margins of bola range.	10
8	482	But I could judge Dina's run, two left, one right, so I set the kaiila running at full speed for what would seem to be the unwilling point of rendezvous between Dina and the leather of the bola.	10
8	490	Hardly slackening speed I swept past the girl, turned the kaiila to face her, and again kicked it into a full gallop.	10
8	492	Her hands were out, trying instinctively to maintain her balance; the bola weights were still snapping about her ankles in tiny, angry circles; in an instant she would fall to the grass; racing past I seized her by the hair and threw her over the saddle; scarcely did she comprehend what was happenin...	10
8	494	Only perhaps a beat or two before the kaiila leapt into the circle had I finished the knots that confined her.	10
8	499	He took his hand from the side of the standing kaiila.	10
8	565	The girl who had bitten the neck of the kaiila, and whose leg had been torn by its teeth, stood for Albrecht.	10
8	571	He held his saddle on his rearing kaiila.	10
8	586	The gait of the kaiila was swift and even.	10
8	612	Kamchak, chuckling, leaped down from his kaiila and quickly, with binding fiber, bound their wrists.	10
8	614	Thus secured, the girls knelt beside the paws of his kaiila.	10
9	69	This afternoon Kamchak and I, leading four pack kaiila, had entered the first gate of nine-gated Turia.	10
9	94	Indeed, to the annoyance of Elizabeth Cardwell, who had spent her nights under the wagon in the last weeks, there were two such in our own wagon, the girl Dina, whom I had snared in the contests of the bola, and her companion, the fine wench who had bitten the neck of Kamchak's kaiila and had attemp...	10
10	7	We moved slowly, walking the kaiila, in four long lines, the Tuchuks, the Kassars, the Kataii, the Paravaci, some two hundred or so warriors of each.	10
10	10	At the head of our line, on a huge kaiila, rode Kutaituchik, his eyes closed, his head nodding, his body swaying with the stately movement of the animal, a half-chewed string of kanda dangling from his mouth.	10
10	17	Yesterday afternoon, for an incredible forty pieces of gold, four quivas and the saddle of a kaiila, Kamchak had sold Tenchika back to Albrecht.	10
10	18	It was one of the highest prices ever paid among the wagons for a slave and I judged that Albrecht had sorely missed his little Tenchika; the high price he was forced to pay for the girl was made even more intolerable by Kamchak's amusement at his expense, roaring with laughter and slapping his knee...	10
10	42	"But you would sell a bosk or kaiila," she said.	10
10	52	Suddenly she began to shake with sobs and fell to her knees at the paws of the kaiila, the gold piece in her left hand.	10
10	54	I sprang from the saddle of the kaiila and kneeling beside her held her in my arms, pressing her head against my shoulder.	10
10	99	I laughed and wheeled the kaiila and raced from the place, leaving the riders of the ponderous tharlarion far behind.	10
10	152	"I saw you put her on your kaiila and ride toward Turia," he said.	10
10	153	"She was not even running beside the kaiila bound".	10
10	161	"A girl such as Dina of Turia is worth more than a kaiila," he said.	10
10	202	From the back of the kaiila I could now see dust from Turia.	10
10	211	It might be mentioned, incidentally, that without the Courage Scar one may not, among the Tuchuks, pay court to a free woman, own a wagon, or own more than five bosk and three kaiila.	10
10	230	I wheeled the kaiila, looking for Elizabeth Cardwell, who, afoot, would be slain almost before the tharlarion had crossed the lines of the stakes.	10
10	232	I bent down in the saddle and tensed to kick the kaiila forward to sweep her to the saddle, turn and race for our lives.	10
10	247	In a moment, to a thunder of kaiila paws on the turf, racing between the lines of stakes, scattering sand, there came a great number of riders, their black hair swirling behind them, who pulled up on their mounts, rearing and squealing, between the stakes, and leaped from the saddle to the sand, rel...	10
10	254	"Take the reins of my kaiila, Slave," she said to him, insolently throwing him the reins.	10
10	282	I heard a judge call, "First Stake! Aphris of Turia!" "Hah!" yelled Kamchak, slapping me on the back, nearly knocking me from the back of my kaiila.	10
10	296	"I, Hereena of the First Wagon, am superior," she was crying, "to those two Kassar she-kaiila!" But the judge was already four stakes below her.	10
10	313	Kamchak was working his kaiila through the crowd toward the first stake.	10
10	328	"Sleen! Sleen!" Kamchak roared with laughter and turned the kaiila away.	10
10	381	"I do not know if I will fight for any of them," he said, "they are all she-sleen, she-kaiila".	10
10	447	"Ah, yes, weapons," Kamchak was saying, "what shall it be—the kaiila lance, a whip and bladed bola—perhaps the quiva?" "The sword," said Kamras.	10
10	450	The warrior of the Wagon Peoples does not use the short sword, probably because such a weapon could not be optimally used from the saddle of the kaiila; the saber, incidentally, which would be somewhat more effective from kaiilaback, is almost unknown on Gor; its role, I gather, is more than fulfill...	10
11	55	"Surely you are aware," said Saphrar, "that a slave cannot own property—any more than a kaiila, a tharlarion or sleen".	10
11	100	He then led the numb, unresisting Turian maiden to his kaiila.	10
11	114	Elizabeth Cardwell, unbound, had already taken her position on the other side of Kamchak's kaiila, beside his right stirrup.	10
11	120	"What were you?" Then he turned his kaiila suddenly toward them and they would break and run screaming and laughing and then, like a flock of birds, take up once more the pursuit.	10
11	125	To be sure there might have been some doubt that the miserable wench thonged behind Kamchak's kaiila could have been first stake.	10
11	135	Kamchak leaped down from the saddle of the kaiila, puffing a bit.	10
11	180	It seemed strange to think of her, so wild and insolent, arrogant on the back of her kaiila, now a perfumed, silken slave of Turians.	10
11	268	"On the other hand," said Kamchak, "I may feed you to the kaiila".	10
11	270	"I doubt that you are good for much," Kamchak said, "but kaiila feed".	10
11	278	"No," cried Aphris, "I never learned!" "Kaiila feed!" cried Kamchak.	10
11	301	Her gaze rested for a moment on the kaiila saddle which had been part of the spoils which Kamchak had acquired for Tenchika.	10
11	315	Aphris had sprung to her feet and run to the side of the wagon where there lay the kaiila saddle with its seven sheathed quivas.	10
11	397	I saw her eyes furtively dart toward the kaiila saddle with its seven quivas.	10
12	6	Even on my kaiila I was certain I could be outdistanced by numerous riders, each leading, in the Tuchuk fashion, a string of fresh mounts.	10
12	7	Eventually my kaiila would tire and I would be brought down on the prairie by pursuers.	10
12	506	He turned and ran, and I, drawing my sword, ran stumbling after him but in less than a moment or two I found my pursuit cut short by a string of tied kaiila being returned after having been released to hunt on the plains.	10
12	508	All I received for my trouble were the angry shouts of the man leading the kaiila string.	10
13	13	He hoisted himself to the saddle of his kaiila, a prancing and trembling hunting sleen on each side of the animal, the chains running to the pommel of the saddle.	10
13	17	It was all Kamchak's kaiila could do to brace itself against their sudden madness.	10
13	115	"There is a new kaiila I want to see near the wagon of Yachi of the Leather Workers' Clan".	10
13	117	He did not buy the kaiila near the wagon of Yachi of the Leather Workers though it was apparently a splendid beast.	10
13	119	It had not struck back at him swiftly enough to please him, and there were only four needlelike scratches in the arm guard before Kamchak had managed to leap back and the kaiila, lunging against its chain, was snapping at him.	10
13	122	The kaiila and its master fight in battle as one unit, seemingly a single savage animal, armed with teeth and lance.	10
13	123	After looking at the kaiila Kamchak visited a wagon where he discussed the crossing of one of his cows with the owner's bull, in exchange for a similar favor on his own part.	10
13	132	Then, to my delight, Kamchak, borrowing two kaiila, which he seemed to have no difficulty doing—from a Tuchuk warrior I had not even seen before—rode with me to the Omen Valley.	10
13	142	Among the animals I saw many verr; some domestic tarsks, their tusks sheathed; cages of flapping vulos, some sleen, some kaiila, even some bosk; by the Paravaci haruspexes I saw manacled male slaves, if such were to be permitted; commonly, I understood from Kamchak, the Tuchuks, Kassars and Kataii r...	10
13	176	Even as we made our way back to the kaiila I could hear two more haruspexes crying out that they had found livers that were clearly unfavorable.	10
14	1	Tarnsmen Outside, as Kamchak and I bounded down the steps of the slave wagon, the darkness was filled with hurrying men, some with torches, and running kaiila, already with their riders.	10
14	7	Kamchak and I mounted the kaiila we had ridden and, as rapidly as we could, pressed through the throngs toward our wagon.	10
14	26	The kaiila I rode already had, on the saddle, the quivas, the rope and bola.	10
14	27	Then he bounded from the top step of the wagon onto the back of his kaiila and sped toward the sound of the bosk horns.	10
14	32	Rather, to my astonishment, he rode before them all, racing his kaiila to the center of the line where some five or ten warriors, on kaiilaback, waited.	10
14	41	"We are fools! Fools!" I drew back the reins on my kaiila to keep the beast quiet.	10
14	46	"We are fools!" cried Kamchak, wheeling his kaiila.	10
14	48	When we had passed through the ranks, which had remained still, those thousands of warriors simply turned their kaiila, the last of them now first, and followed us.	10
14	54	They must be mercenaries! Kamchak did not return to his own wagon but now raced his kaiila, followed by a hundred men, toward the high ground on which stood the standard of the four bosk horns, on which stood the huge wagon of Kutaituchik, called Ubar of the Tuchuks.	10
14	63	Kamchak leaped from the back of his kaiila and, seizing a torch from an iron rack, leaped up the stairs and entered the wagon.	10
15	7	Four times masses of tharlarion cavalry had charged forth from the city but each time the Hundreds withdrew before them until the charge had been enveloped in the swirling kaiila, and then its riders were brought down swiftly by the flashing arrows of the Tuchuks, riding in closely, almost to lance ...	10
15	141	There was no kaiila tethered at hand.	10
18	112	"Tarns! Kaiila!" "No," he cried, "Saphrar's Pleasure Gardens!" and disappeared down the other side of the dome.	10
19	137	"I have seen kaiila with better teeth," he said.	10
20	139	She, a girl of the plains, familiar with fierce kaiila, herself a proud, spirited wench, brave and daring, was yet—like many women—utterly for some reason terrified of a tarn.	10
20	142	The slave rings on the tarn saddle are similar to those on the kaiila saddle and in a trice Harold, using the thongs streaming from the slave rings, one on each side of the saddle, had bound the girl on her back across the saddle in front of him.	10
21	8	Kamchak had not spoken but sat on his kaiila, his face dark with resolve.	10
21	11	Clustered about the hill, in ranks, on their kaiila, black lances in the stirrup, were several of the Tuchuk Hundreds.	10
21	23	Rank by rank the warriors on the kaiila, dour, angry, silent, turned their mounts away from the city and slowly went to find their wagons, save for the Hundreds that would flank the withdrawal and form its rear guard.	10
21	24	Kamchak rode his kaiila up the hill until he stood, that cold dawn, at the edge of the burned wood and ashes of Kutaituchik's wagon.	10
21	200	"It is unfortunate," she said, "that you do not have a swift kaiila and then you might, in broad daylight, hurtle past the guards and make your way into the prairie".	10
21	201	"Even could I steal a kaiila or tharlarion," I said, "there are tarnsmen—" "Yes," she said, "that is true".	10
21	214	I would rather have expected Kamchak to have stood before the walls of Turia, his kaiila saddled, his arrows at hand, until the winds and snows had at last driven him, the Tuchuks, the wagons and the bosk away from the gates of the beleaguered city, the nine-gated, high-walled stronghold of Turia, i...	10
21	257	In a moment I would be able to see the kaiila, the flash of light from the lance blades.	10
21	282	I could now hear the drumming of kaiila paws beyond the gate, perhaps no more than a pasang away.	10
21	314	Almost instantly there was a wild cry, the war cry of the Tuchuks, and the first five kaiila leaped from outside the gate onto the top of the wagon, finding firm footing on what I had taken to be simple rain canvas, but actually was canvas stretched over a load of rocks and earth, accounting for the...	10
21	315	In an instant another five and then another and another had repeated this maneuver and soon, sometimes with squealing of kaiila and dismounting of riders as one beast or another would be crowded between the gates and the others, a Hundred and then another Hundred had hurtled howling into the city, b...	10
21	316	About us there were the stamping paws of kaiila, the crying of men, the sound of arms, and always more and more Tuchuks striking the top of the wagon and bounding into the city uttering their war cry.	10
21	340	I sat cross-legged under the wagon, my sword across my knees, watching the paws and legs of the swirling kaiila bounding past.	10
21	343	Somewhere, off on the other side of the wagon, I heard the heavy grunting of a tharlarion and the squealing of a kaiila, the meeting of lances and shields.	10
21	344	I saw a woman, unveiled, hair streaming behind her, twisting, buffeted, among the kaiila, somehow managing to find her way among them and rush between two buildings.	10
21	356	Then in the clearing inside the gate, on his kaiila, lance in his right fist, turning and barking orders, I saw Kamchak of the Tuchuks, waving men to the left and right, and to the roof tops.	10
21	361	He turned his kaiila to face the city and it reared and he lifted his shield on his left arm and his lance in his right fist.	10
22	102	Kaiila were stabled there.	10
22	138	During the meal, from time to time, messengers, from various parts of the city, and even from the distant wagons, hours away by racing kaiila, would approach Kamchak, speak with him and hastily depart.	10
23	5	Harold and I, mounted on kaiila, raced toward these wagons.	10
23	48	It took only a moment for him to give the tarn into the keeping of some five warriors and leap on the back of his kaiila.	10
23	55	Our kaiila were spent when we reached the wagons of the Tuchuks and the herds, and we were only two thousand.	10
23	64	Already they were mounting their fresh, rested kaiila.	10
23	67	Our bosk horns rang out and my brave Thousand, worn in the saddle, weary, on spent kaiila, without a murmur or a protest, turned and following my lead struck into the center of the Paravaci forces.	10
23	78	And then, as the Paravaci bosk horns sounded frantically, our bosk began to run, their mighty heads with the fearsome horns nodding up and down, and the earth began to tremble and my men cried out more and jabbed animals, riding with the flood and the Paravaci with cries of horror that coursed the l...	10
23	79	It was the vengeance of the bosk and the frightened, maddened animals thundered into the Paravaci lines goring and trampling both kaiila and riders, and the Paravaci who could manage turned their animals and rode for their lives.	10
23	81	The escaping Paravaci could now, on their kaiila, easily outdistance the herd and I did not wish the animals to be strung out over the prairie, at the mercy of the Paravaci when they should at last turn and take up the battle again.	10
23	95	We set pickets and took what rest we could, in the open, the kaiila saddled and tethered at hand.	10
23	102	As soon as our men were through the barricade they leaped from their kaiila, bow and quiver in hand, and took up prearranged positions under the wagons, between them, on them, and behind the wagon box planking, taking advantage of the arrow ports therein.	10
23	104	It was like a flood of kaiila and riders, weapons flourishing, that broke and piled against the wagons, the rear ranks pressing forward on those before them.	10
23	105	Some of the rear ranks actually climbed fallen and struggling comrades and leaped over the wagons to the other side, where they were cut down by archers and dragged from their kaiila to be flung beneath the knives of free Tuchuk women.	10
23	110	I issued orders swiftly and exhausted men poured from beneath and between the wagons to haul as many of the fallen kaiila and riders as possible from the wagons, that there might not be a wall of dying animals and men giving access to the height of our wagons.	10
23	111	Scarcely had we cleared the ground before the wagons when the Paravaci bosk horns sounded again and another wave of kaiila and riders, lances set, raced towards us.	10
23	126	We watched the milling of kaiila and riders in the distance, the movement of standards.	10
23	135	We could now hear the drumming of the paws of the kaiila, growing ever more rapid and intense, the squealing of animals here and there along the line, the rustle of weapons and accouterments.	10
23	137	I listened, but seemed to hear only the maddeningly intensifying thunder of the Paravaci kaiila sweeping towards us, but then I heard, from the far left and right, the sound of distant bosk horns.	10
23	144	Suddenly rising over the crest of rolling hills, like black floods, from both the left and the right, I saw on racing kaiila what must have been thousands of warriors, thousands upon thousands.	10
24	3	The morning after the Battle at the Wagons I had mounted a rested kaiila and set forth for Turia.	10
24	6	I left the kaiila with the Tuchuks and mounted my tarn, and, in less than an Ahn, saw the shimmering walls of Turia in the distance, and the veils of smoke rising over the city.	10
24	33	Yet it seemed to me true, for Turia was the main avenue of contact between the Wagon Peoples and the other cities of Gor, the gate through which trade goods flowed to the wilderness of grasses that was the land of the riders of the kaiila and the herders of bosk.	10
24	60	Nearby our tethered kaiila crouched, their paws on the bodies of slain verrs, devouring them.	10
24	170	"Properly so," remarked Harold and leaped to his kaiila, untethering the beast and springing to its saddle.	10
24	173	His kaiila sprang from the room, bounding across the carpet in the next hall, and then thudding down a corridor toward the main entrance.	10
24	174	Muttering I jerked loose the reins of my kaiila from the column to which I had tethered it, leaped to the saddle and raced after Harold, not wishing to be left behind somewhere in the streets of Turia or among the dark wagons beyond the gate, pounding on wagon after wagon to find which one might be ...	10
24	176	A few yards beyond the gate I hauled my kaiila up short, rearing and pawing the air.	10
24	177	Harold was sitting there calmly on the back of his kaiila, a reproachful look on his face.	10
24	179	"Very well," I said, and we walked our kaiila at a stately pace toward Turia's main gate.	10
24	191	"Behind you!" I spun the kaiila and whipped my sword from its sheath.	10
24	198	"I accept your wager," he cried, kicking his kaiila toward the main gate.	10
24	213	"You certainly have a fast kaiila," remarked Harold.	10
24	236	Wearily I gave the kaiila to one of the guards and mounted the steps of the wagon.	10
25	114	A girl who does what you did might be maimed or thrown to sleen or kaiila, and that he touched you with the whip, the Slaver's Caress, that was only to show me, and perhaps you, that you were female".	10
25	156	I spun about and to my astonishment saw that Elizabeth Cardwell had arisen and stood proudly, defiantly, angrily before me, as though she might have been a freshly collared slave girl, brought in but an Ahn before, bound over the saddle of a kaiila, the fruit of a slave raid.	10
25	164	I could scarcely believe that the proud creature who stood chained before me was she whom Kamchak and I had referred to as the Little Barbarian; whom I had been able to think of only as a timid, simple girl of Earth, a young, pretty little secretary, one of nameless, unimportant thousands of such in...	10
25	886	"I think in the morning," I said, "I will throw you to kaiila".	10
26	11	There were also, in the city, of course, hundreds of kaiila, though the main body of such mounts was outside the city, where game could be driven to them with greater ease.	10
26	93	Kamchak then descended from the roof and mounted his kaiila.	10
26	103	Then he gently moved his kaiila toward the main portal.	10
26	108	Kamchak stopped the kaiila.	10
26	111	Astride his kaiila Kamchak announced himself.	10
26	119	"Kill him!" Silently a dozen Tuchuk bowmen, with the short horn bow, stood afoot before Kamchak's kaiila, their arrows trained on the hearts of the two guards.	10
26	125	Not hurrying Kamchak walked his kaiila up the stairs of the house and, on kaiilaback, entered the main hall of the House of Saphrar.	10
26	126	In the main hall he looked about and then, Harold and I following, and the man with the two sleen, and the slaves with gold, and his archers and other men, he began to walk his kaiila forward, across the broad marble tiles, following the terrified Saphrar of Turia.	10
26	142	Kamchak now gave his kaiila to a subordinate and, on foot, carrying torch and quiva, began to prowl down the passage, beside him the two snarling sleen, behind him Harold and I, and the rest of his men, several with torches, even the slaves with gold.	10
26	189	When he can ride teach him the saddle of the kaiila, the quiva, the bow and lance.	10
26	381	Outside the compound of Saphrar, which was now burning, we mounted kaiila to return to the wagons outside the walls.	10
26	414	We turned the kaiila from the courtyard of the burning House of Saphrar and, abreast, rode from that place.	10
26	441	I began to shake in the saddle of the kaiila, trembling.	10
26	443	I reined in the kaiila.	10
26	485	I sat still on the back of the kaiila.	10
26	542	Kamchak's hands were like white clubs knotted on the reins of the kaiila.	10
26	544	I stopped the kaiila and regarded him, astounded.	10
26	560	Again we laughed and, suddenly, we urged the kaiila forward in great bounding strides, eager to reach the wagons, each of us, for waiting in these wagons were three girls, desirable, marvelous, ours, Hereena, she who had been of the First Wagon, the slave of Harold, her master; Aphris of Turia, almo...	10
26	570	I leaped from the back of the kaiila and ran toward the wagon and the girl waiting there cried out with joy and ran to me and I swept her into my arms and our lips met and she wept, "You are safe! You are safe!" "Yes," I said, "I am safe—and you are safe—and the world is safe!" At the ...	10
27	15	He did not now sit dourly as before, stern and lost in thought, but attended to the details of his business with good humor, stopping only now and then to throw scraps of meat to his kaiila, which was tethered behind the throne.	10
27	171	Kamchak turned abruptly from her striding to his kaiila, which had been tethered behind the throne.	10
27	178	I walked behind Kamchak, on his kaiila.	10
27	193	Outside the main gate of the palace of Phanius Turmus, Kamchak, on his kaiila, waited for us.	10
27	203	Kamchak turned his kaiila and began to ride toward the main gate, the rest of us following.	10

19	284	Elizabeth had been clad in the brief leather of a Tuchuk wagon girl, simple, rough, sleeveless, the short skirt on the left side slit to the belt, so that the saddle of the kaiila, mount of the Wagon Peoples, would be permitted her.	10
22	379	"Bring me," I said, to the crossbowman, standing at the foot of the perch, "from the belongings of Gladius of Cos, kept in the compound of the Steels, the bola of the Tuchuks, the kaiila rope, the southern quiva".	10

22	397	The small bow, interestingly, has never been used among tarnsmen; perhaps this is because the kaiila is almost unknown above the equator, and the lesson of kaiilaback fighting has not been much available to them; perhaps it is because of tradition, which weighs heavily in Gorean life, and even in mi...	10

4	399	The kaiila would be put in circles, ten animals to the circle, and fodder, by kaiila boys, would be thrown into the center of the circle.	10
4	408	With the kaiila a simple figure-eight twist of kaiila-hair rope, above the spreading paws, below the knees, is sufficient.	10
5	867	"And my thanks!" He then spun the kaiila and, as guards swarmed after him, to our astonishment, leapt the kaiila, catlike, between pillars, through one of the great arched windows of the palace room.	10
8	32	In the neighborhood of noon, moving slowly, in the yellow and purple striped burnoose, with sash, water bags at the flanks of my kaiila, sacks of pressed-date bricks tied across the withers, kaiila bells ringing, calling attention to myself and my wares, I left the oasis.	10

1	416	It was brought from secret pits and mines, actually, deep in the interior, bound in heavy cylinders on the backs of pack kaiila.	10
1	418	A strong kaiila could carry sixteen such cylinders, but the normal load was ten.	10
1	420	A poorly loaded kaiila can carry far less weight than one on whom the burden is intelligently distributed.	10
1	434	"It is a story told by a boy, a tender of kaiila.	10
1	436	It was struck by storm, and a kaiila, maddened by wind and sand, broke its hobble, plunging away into the darkness.	10
1	456	Herdsmen, guards, kaiila tenders, leave the camp along a "spoke" of a wheel, spacing themselves at intervals.	10
1	459	The boy, for example, presumably, if he had his wits about him, would not follow the kaiila long enough on foot to place himself outside the "rim" of the "wheel".	10
1	462	The caravan kaiila, incidentally, both those which are pack animals and those used as mounts for guards and warriors, are muchly belled.	10
1	465	The kaiila of raiders, incidentally, are never belled.	10
1	469	The kaiila, of its own accord, returned later, for fodder".	10
1	470	"What," I asked, "was the story of the boy?" "What, in pursuing the kaiila, he found," said Ibn Saran.	10
1	479	"Was there no kaiila?" I asked.	10
1	483	"How well did he know the desert? How much water had he?" The man might have come thousands of pasangs before the kaiila had died, or fled.	10
1	545	Importantly, there are also surfaces of various textures, a deep-piled rug, satins, silks, coarsely woven kaiila-hair cloths, brocades, rep-cloth, a tiled corner, a sleen pelt, cloths woven of strung beads, cloaks of leather, mats of reeds, etc.	10

2	192	I had failed to contact them in Kasra, as I had planned, but I had learned that they were in the region of Tor, purchasing kaiila, for a caravan to the kasbah, or fortress, of Suleiman, of the Aretai tribe, master of a thousand lances, Ubar of the Oasis of Nine Wells.	10
2	370	One who rides the swift kaiila, who handles the scimitar and lance, chooses the burnoose.	10

2	555	In her hand she carried a long supple kaiila quirt of leather, about a half inch in width and a yard long.	10
2	597	Then I passed a shop where the high, light kaiila saddles were being made.	10
2	598	One could also buy there saddle blankets, quirts, bells and kaiila reins.	10
2	599	The kaiila rein is a single rein, very light, plaited of various leathers.	10
2	603	The rein, carefully plaited, is tied through a hole drilled in the right nostril of the kaiila.	10
2	607	To start or hasten the animal, one kicks it in the flanks, or uses the long kaiila quirt.	10

3	4	The kaiila, both of them, with the swiftness, the agility of cats, spun, half crouching, squealing in frustration, and again lunged toward one another.	10
3	5	With the light rein I pulled my kaiila to the left as we passed, and the man, trying to reach me, was, startled, off balance.	10
3	7	He swept past me and spun his kaiila, then jerked it up short, back on its haunches in the sand.	10
3	19	"Cut the leather from the jaws of your kaiila," said he.	10
3	22	I discarded the exercise sheath, and, with the bared blade, parted the leather that had bound the jaws of the kaiila.	10
3	61	He was camping in the vicinity of the city while purchasing kaiila for a caravan to the Oasis of Nine Wells.	10
3	64	It had not been inconvenient for him, for he was inspecting kaiila at the corrals near the southern gate of Tor.	10
3	76	It had been his son who had carried the salt, who had unsheathed the claws of my kaiila.	10
3	105	"You will tell the time," said Farouk of Kasra, "by the speed of your kaiila, by the circle and the stick, by the sun".	10
3	122	I should be honored if you might, with your kaiila, accompany me".	10
3	124	"I have purchased what kaiila I need," said Farouk.	10
3	292	"My caravan is small," I told him, "only a few kaiila.	10
4	2	I turned my kaiila, and, kicking its flanks, urged it down the long line of laden animals.	10
4	11	It is carried by a pack kaiila, strapped to the beast, and steadied on both sides by braces against the pack blankets.	10
4	37	I laughed as I spun the kaiila, hearing her utter a tiny cry of rage inside the kurdah.	10
4	48	The kaiila moved slowly.	10
4	70	Once she had dared to say to me, "But Aya makes me do all her work!" I kicked the kaiila toward her, and she was buffeted from her feet rolling in the gravel, and then lay, hands shielding her face, on her back beneath the very paws of the beast, it hissing and stamping, scratching at the gravel abo...	10
4	78	But, too, Aya, with her kaiila strap, continued her lessons in Gorean.	10
4	105	I was growing drowsy, lulled by the bells, the even gait of the kaiila.	10
4	109	At its very end came a man on a single kaiila.	10
4	110	From time to time, he dismounted, gathering shed kaiila hair and thrusting it in bags at his saddle.	10
4	111	The kaiila, unlike the verr and hurt, is never sheared.	10
4	122	I put my feet against the neck of the kaiila.	10
4	123	I listened to the kaiila bells.	10
4	404	Many nomads build a small kaiila-dung fire in the tent, to smolder during the night, to warm their feet.	10
4	406	At night the kaiila are hobbled.	10
4	429	I became aware of the pounding of kaiila pads on the dry surface.	10
4	431	I spun the kaiila, and stood in the stirrups.	10
4	453	I turned the kaiila, loosened the scimitar in the sheath.	10
4	458	The caravan guards, on nervous, prancing kaiila, were behind him.	10
4	460	I rode my kaiila out a few steps, toward the men, then returned it to the caravan.	10
4	467	Some twenty of them, with Farouk, and certain guards, began to work their way down the caravan, beast by beast, checking the drovers and kaiila tenders.	10
4	472	I watched the men, on their kaiila, accompanied by Farouk, the caravan master, moving, man by man, towards us.	10
4	473	"They are the men of Suleiman," said the drover, standing nearby, the rein of his kaiila in his hand.	10
4	510	"Is this your kurdah?" asked the captain, gesturing to the kurdah on the nearby kaiila.	10
4	516	He pressed his kaiila to the kurdah, and, with the tip of his scimitar, prepared to lift back the curtain to his right.	10
4	558	"A pretty slave," he said, and then turned his kaiila away, his men following, to continue his examination of the men of the caravan.	10
4	559	As he turned his kaiila, the lieutenant, who had accompanied him, he who had asserted that I was a Kavar spy, he who had urged them to slay me, cast me a dark look.	10
5	104	Her yelp resounded for a radius of a quarter of a pasang about the watering hole, startling even the verr and kaiila.	10
5	138	Aya made clear her displeasure by striking the girl several times, before she could free herself, with her customary instrument of instruction, the knotted kaiila strap.	10
5	191	I listened to the night, the wind, the snorting of kaiila, the calls of the guards.	10
5	330	Not much to my surprise the men of the escort of Aretai rushed forth to do battle, but, seeing the numbers of their enemy, which indeed seemed considerable, sweeping down from the hills, wheeled their kaiila and, abandoning the caravan, rode rapidly away.	10
5	339	With their scimitars, they slashed certain of the bags and crates on the kaiila, determining their contents.	10
5	346	As she knelt on her hands and knees in the gravel, looking up, terrified, a warrior, behind her, on kaiila, thrust the tip of his lance beneath her veil, between the side of her head and the tiny golden string, and, lifting the lance, ripped the veil from her, face-stripping her.	10
5	367	I saw certain of the kaiila being led past.	10
5	424	Kicking the kaiila in the flanks, angrily, the officer urged his mount from the camp.	10
5	512	"Where are the Kavars!" had cried Shakar, captain of the Aretai, when he had swept into the caravan, his kaiila rearing, his lieutenant, Hamid, behind him.	10
5	546	I had seen men withdrawing from the path of his kaiila, standing aside, lifting their hands to him.	10
5	845	I heard, too, incongruous in the palace of the Pasha of Nine Wells, from afar, the squealing of a kaiila.	10
5	849	At that instant, buffeting guards aside, sending them sprawling, to our amazement, in the carved, turret-shaped portal of the great room, claws scratching on the tiles, appeared a war kaiila, in full trappings, mounted by a veiled warrior in swirling burnoose.	10
5	857	The kaiila pranced.	10
5	863	He yanked her, stumbling, the prisoner of his whip, to the side of his kaiila.	10
7	23	I heard a kaiila pass, its paws thudding in the sand.	10
7	24	I heard kaiila bells, from afar, a man shouting.	10
7	73	"It is gone," said Shakar, turning his kaiila, and returning to the caravan.	10
7	77	Then I, too, turned my kaiila, and returned to the caravan.	10
7	93	Kaiila are not permitted at Klima, even to the guards.	10
7	241	We heard two kaiila plod by, their bells.	10
7	354	There are no kaiila at Klima.	10
7	651	"Outside your kaiila awaits, saddled, with a weapon, the scimitar, and water".	10
7	692	If it were true that a saddled kaiila, my own, awaited, I gathered the strike would be made in the desert, probably just outside the oasis.	10
7	720	I saw the kaiila.	10
7	723	I checked the girth straps, the kaiila rein.	10
7	728	"I am greeting my kaiila," I said.	10
7	733	Ibn Saran would not have cared to risk giving me an Ahn's start on a fast kaiila.	10
7	743	Such weight, of course, slows the kaiila, but, in the desert, one must have much water.	10
7	751	I examined the paws of the kaiila.	10
7	762	I drew the kaiila back into the shadows.	10
8	10	The kaiila I fed in the stable, where he occupied a rear stall, I watered it, too, deeply.	10
8	16	I obtained, too, a set of kaiila bells, and two sacks of pressed-date bricks.	10
8	34	* * * * On a hill, more than two hundred pasangs north and east of Nine Wells, two days after I had left the oasis, I reined in, the kaiila turning on the graveled crest.	10
8	36	Two kurdahs were seized in the hand of a rider, by their frames, and jerked to the side on the kaiila, spilling their occupants, free girls, in a flurry of skirts, to the gravel.	10
8	39	The packs of kaiila were being slashed, to determine the value of the merchandise carried, and whether it would be of value to raiders.	10
8	40	Some of these kaiila were pulled together, their reins in the hands of a rider.	10
8	41	One of the burdens tied among others on the back of one of the pack kaiila was transferred to another beast, one whose rein was held by the rider.	10
8	48	I saw a water bag being slashed, the water dark on the side of a kaiila, it shifting and rearing, the water falling, soaking into the dust.	10
8	51	The kaiila became hard to control, excited by the smell of water.	10
8	53	Packs were cut from kaiila, their contents spilling on the ground.	10
8	55	The kaiila, then, freed of reins and harness, with the flat of scimitars, and cries, were driven into the desert.	10
8	65	The raiders, then, as one man, turned their kaiila, and, unhurried, rode slowly from the trail.	10
8	66	Two of the men held the reins of two pack kaiila; another man, by the rein, pulled another beast, shambling after him.	10
8	72	On foot, on the trail, they would have only enough water to reach the tiny oasis of the Lame Kaiila, where there would be for them doubtless sympathy, but little aid in the form of armed men.	10
8	75	I turned my kaiila and dropped below the crest of the hill.	10
8	88	There was a corral of thorn brush, uprooted and woven together, which served for kaiila.	10
8	89	Within it, now, were four pack kaiila.	10
8	90	There were five tents, each of tawny, inconspicuous kaiila-hair cloth, each pegged down on three sides, each with the front, facing east, for the warmth of the morning sun, left open.	10
8	99	In this camp there was only a slave girl, left behind to pound grain and watch kaiila.	10
8	106	She wore a long, bordered skirt, with scarlet thread at its hem, which swirled as she turned; she wore a jacket, tan, of soft kaiila-hair cloth, taken from the animal's second coat, which had a hood, which she had thrown back; beneath the jacket she wore a cheap, printed blouse of rep-cloth, blue an...	10
8	173	She had, in the tent, removed the tan jacket of kaiila hair, with hood.	10
8	192	A tiny kaiila-dung fire burned under it.	10
8	290	My kaiila was tethered in the rear.	10
8	291	First over the rise, on his kaiila, with the two girls tethered, stumbling, exhausted, feet bleeding, to the pommel, was the leader.	10
8	297	Behind them I could see the captured pack kaiila.	10
8	299	The leader's kaiila reared.	10
8	300	I saw it was his intention, not dismounting, to ride the kaiila against and through the tent, it striking against the beast's forequarters.	10
8	306	The leader resheathed his scimitar and, lightly, dismounted from the kaiila.	10
9	122	Roughly the girl, whose name had been Zina, but who was now as nameless as a newborn she-kaiila, was taken from the tent and thrown on her belly in the gravel by the slave stake.	10
9	165	"Water her after the kaiila," said Hassan to Alyena.	10
10	8	At the oases, it is common for the local pashas to exact a protection tax from caravans, if they are of a certain length, normally of fifty kaiila or more.	10
10	11	Most of those in the Tahari who sit upon the rugs of office are those who are the descendants of men who ruled, in ruder days, scimitar in hand, from the high, red leather of the kaiila saddle.	10
10	23	The girl, back arched, head down, belly up, bound over the withers of the kaiila, before the saddle, twisted, whimpering.	10
10	29	Others of the men of Hassan led pack kaiila, containing in their burdens goods taken from the caravan plundered four days ago.	10
10	34	These feast on kaiila and men.	10
10	39	When sand flies and other insects, emergent after rains, infest kaiila, they frequently alight on the animals, and remain on them for some hours, hunting insects.	10
10	40	This relieves the kaiila of the insects but leaves it with numerous small wounds, which are unpleasant and irritating, where the bird has dug insects out of its hide.	10
10	41	These tiny wounds, if they become infected, turn into sores; these sores are treated by the drovers with poultices of kaiila dung.	10
10	45	In the moonlight I could see that kaiila had trodden the gardens.	10
10	91	"Bring the pack kaiila into my courtyard," he said, "and display the goods".	10
10	124	Hassan, his man, I, and others of his men, slowly, on kaiila, filed into the courtyard, following the merchant.	10
10	190	I did not think it would take her long to remove her clothing, draw her warm kaiila-cloth blanket about her and, drawing her knees up, fall asleep on the straw of her cell, which, under pain of death, she would shut behind her, locking it.	10
10	208	His men, outside, waited, the reins of their kaiila in hand.	10
11	1	Red Rock, Where Salt is Shared; Hassan and I Encounter Tarna "You do not wear bells on your kaiila harness!" said the man, threatening us with his lance.	10
11	13	Once, when a rising edge of blackness, whipping with dust, had risen in the south, we had dismounted, hobbled our kaiila and turned their backs to the wind.	10
11	38	Within minutes of the rain beginning to fall we had to dismount, to drag and pull our struggling, frightened kaiila toward the distant, higher ground.	10
11	47	The danger is primarily that the kaiila may, struggling, and falling, break their limbs".	10
11	48	I noted that Hassan's men had thrown blankets over the heads of the kaiila, to prevent them from seeing the storm, and keep rain from striking their faces, which phenomenon, frightening them, tends to make them unmanageable.	10
11	61	Within an Ahn after the cessation of the rain, the sun again paramount, merciless, in the now-cloudless sky, the footing was sufficiently firm, the water lost under the dust and sand, to support the footing of kaiila.	10
11	70	The main swarms had passed but, clinging about us, like crawling spots on our garments, and in and among the hairs of the kaiila, in their thousands, crept the residue of the infestation.	10
11	73	We dismounted and led the kaiila, and let the birds hunt them for flies.	10
11	117	The boy went to the kaiila of Alyena.	10
11	158	Whereas she could dismount from the kaiila blanket, which served her as saddle, she could not, unaided, reach its back.	10
11	163	"Your slave, Raider," said he, indicating the irritated Alyena, now again mounted, well vexed, on her kaiila, "apparently makes your tea too strong".	10
11	172	On our kaiila harness, we knew, we wore no bells.	10
11	241	I shrugged, and kicked the kaiila in the flanks, urging it downward, from the sloping hill, toward the oasis.	10
11	243	I reined in the kaiila.	10
11	301	"You have no bells on your kaiila," said the child.	10
11	310	The vassal tribe is bound, by its Tahari oaths, sworn over water and salt, to support the conquering tribe in its military endeavors, with supplies, kaiila and men.	10
11	338	We took the packs from our kaiila, the saddles and accouterments.	10
11	339	Boys came out to meet us, to take our kaiila to the stables.	10
11	459	I could now hear the drumming of galloping kaiila.	10
11	473	We heard the paws of kaiila, their squeals and snorts, and hisses.	10
11	501	Below us, in the stable yard, holding the reins of kaiila, came Hassan's men.	10
11	511	The kaiila squealed in fright.	10
11	515	Two raiders had climbed to the roof, leaping from their kaiila.	10
11	529	Hastily they saddled their kaiila.	10
11	531	Hassan tore off his own burnoose and, putting it under Alyena's arms, lowered her from the roof to the arms of one of his men, mounted on his kaiila.	10
11	540	She was now on her own kaiila.	10
11	543	"Upon this signal, take flight!" "Two kaiila are saddled for you," said he, indicating two mounts.	10
11	564	The bars were withdrawn; the gates swung wide; the burnooses were thrown from the heads of the animals, and the kaiila bolted from the blazing stable yard into the suddenly illuminated street.	10
11	566	In moments the kaiila and their riders had vanished down the street.	10
11	567	"There are two kaiila remaining, saddled," I called to Hassan.	10
11	570	Now another flight of the kaiila riders sped by beneath the roof.	10
11	582	Orders were issued to these men and they, on their kaiila, sped away.	10
11	590	The girl looked about and then, rapidly, with a scattering of dust, she moved her kaiila in the direction of the kasbah.	10
11	592	"Get your kaiila, escape!" said Hassan.	10
11	611	There, tethered, shifting, their nostrils stung with smoke, their heads covered with saddle blankets, were our two kaiila.	10

9	89	Grunt, on his kaiila, had now taken his place at the head of the line, the pack kaiila behind him.	10
13	9	The kaiila saddle and the kaiila quirt lay to one side.	10
13	676	"Kaiila?" "Yes," I said, "kaiila, tarsks, verr, slaves, and such".	10
15	71	I was not certain that Grunt was wise in addressing him in the dialect of the Kaiila, for the Fleer and Kaiila are hereditary enemies.	10
15	196	Curious he now returned his kaiila to the position of the last girl on the coffle, whom we were calling Pimples, the Gorean translation of her former name, originally given to her by a Kaiila master, 'Wasnapohdi'.	10
17	505	"What of the diversity you see about you," I asked, "say, of kaiila and sleen?" "One kaiila and one sleen are both one, which is one," said another fellow.	10
19	22	The red-haired girl was on her hands and knees in the grass, naked, warriors, some on foot, some astride kaiila, Yellow Knives and Kaiila, gathered about her.	10
19	29	The mounted Kaiila warrior said something to Pimples, whom, it had been quickly established, in the interchanges, was conversant in Kaiila.	10
19	145	"Kaiila!" Grunt then shook his head, gathering his thoughts, and addressed himself, clearly and calmly, in Kaiila, to the youth.	10
19	278	He then slowly brought his kaiila about and walked it, slowly, to where the red youth, Cuwignaka, Woman's Dress, whom I had freed from the stakes, clung, supporting himself, to the Kaiila lance.	10
19	368	"The Kaiila have a quarrel with the Fleer, and you are Kaiila," said Canka.	10
19	710	I watched Grunt and Pimples, with the three kaiila, his mount, the kaiila drawing the travois and my own pack beast, wending their way away, through the tall grass.	10
19	808	I then, leading the kaiila, on which Cuwignaka rode, slumped forward, with the lance, set my feet in the tracks of those who had preceded me, Canka and his party, and Grunt and Pimples, toward the smoke of the evening fires, toward the camp of the Isbu Kaiila.	10
