10 |
| 19 | 506 |

10 |

Their culture tends to be nomadic, and is based on the herbivorous, lofty kaiila, substantially the same animal as is found in the Tahari, save for the wider footpads of the Tahari beast, suitable for negotiating deep sand, and the lumbering, gregarious, short-tempered, trident-horned kailiauk. |
10 |
| 1 | 833 |
The pigments, commonly mixed with hot water or glue, are usually applied by a chewed stick or a small brush, or pen, of porous bone, usually cut from the edge of the kailiauk's shoulder blade or the end of its hip bone. |

"Not if both were following the kailiauk," said Kog. |
10 |
| 1 | 904 |
"Perhaps," said Kog, "because it was hunting the kailiauk, not the man. |
10 |
| 1 | 907 |
"Also," said Kog, "kailiauk is better than man. |
10 |
| 1 | 931 |
Still the man pressed on, knowing the direction of the kailiauk and following the natural geodesics of the land, such as might be followed by a slow-moving beast, pawing under the snow for roots or grass. |
10 |
| 1 | 934 |
On snowshoes, of course, he could move faster through drifted snow than the kailiauk. |
10 |
| 1 | 936 |
Too, as you know, the kailiauk seldom moves at night". |
10 |
| 1 | 959 |
The ribs of the kailiauk are vertical to the ground; the ribs of the human are horizontal to the ground. |
10 |
| 1 | 965 |

An occasional ruse used in crossing an open terrain, incidentally, is to throw a kailiauk robe over oneself and bend down over the back of one's kaiila. |

"These are the other hunters, those whose tracks were found, those who had also been following the kailiauk," said Samos. |
10 |
| 1 | 1013 |
The kaiila lance is used in hunting kailiauk as well as in mounted warfare. |
10 |
| 1 | 1019 |
The point of the hunting lance is usually longer and narrower than that of the war lance, a function of the depth into which one must strike in order to find the heart of the kailiauk. |
10 |
| 1 | 1036 |
With the weight of a hurtling kaiila behind the thrust such a lance can be thrust through the body of a kailiauk. |
10 |
| 1 | 1037 |
To be sure, the skillful hunter will strike no more deeply than is necessary, and his trained kaiila will slow its pace sufficiently to permit the kailiauk to draw its own body from the lance. |
10 |
| 1 | 1081 |
They live with the stars and the winds, and the kaiila and kailiauk. |

10 |
| 1 | 1123 |
Needless to say, it is extremely dangerous to fall from one's kaiila in hunting kailiauk, because one is often closely involved with numerous stampeding beasts, or the given beast one is pursuing may suddenly turn on one. |
10 |
| 1 | 1124 |
In hunting kailiauk the hunters usually scatter about, each selecting his own animals. |
10 |
| 1 | 1130 |
They will have known one another almost all of their lives; as children and boys they have played together and watched the kaiila herds in the summer camps together; they may even have shared in their first kailiauk hunt; now, as men, they have taken the warpath together; they are comrades, and frie... |
10 |

He leaps across the body of the slain kailiauk. |
10 |
| 1 | 1153 |
In the distance they turn to regard the kailiauk, the dark guest, the man. |
10 |
| 1 | 1154 |
The dark guest leaps to the carcass of the kailiauk, its blood red in the snow. |
10 |
| 1 | 1161 |
Now the dark guest and the man are alone, with the kailiauk, with three riderless kaiila. |
10 |
| 1 | 1162 |
The dark guest again crouches behind the kailiauk. |
10 |

"The man cuts meat from the kailiauk". |
10 |

The other two are burdened with meat from the kailiauk. |
10 |

He returns, too, with the hide of the kailiauk, rolled before him, and three scalps. |
10 |
| 1 | 1197 |
"It is kailiauk hide," said Kog. |
10 |
| 1 | 1199 |
"The red savages depend for their very lives on the kailiauk," said Kog. |
10 |
| 1 | 1208 |
"Further, they believe that if they are unworthy of the kailiauk, he will go away. |
10 |
| 1 | 1211 |
"So," said Kog, "they do not lie on the hide of the kailiauk. |
10 |
| 1 | 1213 |
On the hide of the kailiauk one may paint only truth". |
10 |
| 1 | 1220 |
The shields, too, are made of the hide of the kailiauk, from the thick hide of the back of the neck, where the skin and musculature are thick, to support the weight of the trident and turn the blows of other tridents, especially in the spring buffetings, attendant upon which follows mate selection". |
10 |
| 2 | 373 |
I lifted the roll of kailiauk hide I carried. |
10 |
| 3 | 147 |
"It will be my conjecture," said the man, "that he whom you seek, the trader, Grunt, is bound not for Fort Haskins, but for Kailiauk". |
10 |
| 3 | 150 |
Kailiauk is the easternmost town at the foot of the Thentis mountains. |
10 |
| 4 | 103 |
I would stay with it until it reached its destination only if that destination lay on the road to Kailiauk. |
10 |
| 4 | 108 |
"Because the trading hides are cheap in places like Fort Haskins and Kailiauk". |
10 |
| 4 | 116 |
"The source for their delivery seems to be somewhere in the vicinity of Kailiauk. |
10 |
| 4 | 127 |
The vicinity of Kailiauk, with its nearness to the Barrens, seemed a remote and useful place for a delivery point. |
10 |
| 4 | 129 |
They might have an agent in Kailiauk, or in its vicinity. |
10 |
| 5 | 1 |
I Throw Stones on the Road to Kailiauk I stepped aside, to the side of the road. |
10 |
| 5 | 12 |
They, like I, I speculated, were bound for Kailiauk. |
10 |
| 5 | 66 |
"Whither are you bound, Captain," I asked, "and on what business!" "We are going to Kailiauk, and are then going to enter the Barrens," he said. |
10 |
| 5 | 134 |
The lines of mercenaries then moved forward, with the wagon in their midst, northward, toward Kailiauk. |
10 |
| 5 | 139 |
When the lines and wagons had passed I emerged from the rocks and, at a distance, followed them toward Kailiauk. |
10 |
| 5 | 145 |
On the road to Kailiauk I threw back my head and laughed heartily. |
10 |
| 5 | 152 |
Then I continued on again, toward Kailiauk. |
10 |
| 6 | 1 |
Kailiauk I looked down into the broad, rounded, shallow pit, leaning over the waist-high wooden railing. |
10 |
| 6 | 15 |
I had spent a night on the road and had arrived in Kailiauk, hungry and muddy, yesterday, shortly after the tenth Ahn, the Gorean noon. |
10 |
| 6 | 17 |
In Kailiauk, as is not unusual in the towns of the perimeter, the Administrator is of the Merchants. |
10 |
| 6 | 18 |
The major business in Kailiauk is the traffic in hides and kaiila. |
10 |
| 6 | 26 |
These deposits represent the results of the thinnings of kailiauk herds by the red savages. |
10 |
| 6 | 27 |
A most common sight in Kailiauk is the coming and going of hide wagons, and wagons for the transport of horn and bones. |
10 |
| 6 | 28 |
The number of kailiauk in the Barrens is prodigious, for it affords them a splendid environment with almost no natural enemies. |
10 |
| 6 | 29 |
Most kailiauk, I am sure, have never seen a man or a sleen. |
10 |
| 6 | 38 |
If that is the case then the number of kailiauk may not be quite as large as it is sometimes estimated. |
10 |
| 6 | 43 |
The kailiauk is a migratory beast, thusly, but only in a rather special sense. |
10 |
| 6 | 45 |
The kailiauk must feed as it moves, and it is simply too slow for this type of migration. |
10 |
| 6 | 48 |
The smell of the hide sheds, incidentally, gives a very special aroma to the atmosphere of Kailiauk. |
10 |
| 6 | 72 |
I had sought this fellow in the various inns and taverns of Kailiauk. |
10 |
| 6 | 75 |
This morning, at the Five Horns stables, in Kailiauk, I had bought two kaiila. |
10 |
| 6 | 76 |
Bridles, a saddle, various sorts of gear, supplies, and trading goods, too, I had purchased in the town, at the store of Publius Crassus, of the Merchants, who is also Kailiauk's Administrator. |
10 |
| 6 | 91 |
Already, early this morning, the Lady Mira of Venna, and Alfred of Port Olni, with their mercenaries, had left Kailiauk. |
10 |
| 6 | 97 |
"It is unfortunate you did not come to Kailiauk a month ago," he said. |
10 |
| 6 | 109 |
"It was the largest mercenary band ever to leave Kailiauk," he said. |
10 |
| 6 | 124 |
I had heard he was the major dealer in Kailiauk for barbarian slaves. |
10 |
| 6 | 127 |
I had, earlier in the afternoon, on one of my purchased kaiila, scouted the terrain north and south of Kailiauk. |
10 |
| 6 | 130 |
Also there were wagon tracks leading away from the area, toward Kailiauk. |
10 |
| 7 | 10 |
His caste, even in the town of Kailiauk, was that of the slavers. |
10 |
| 7 | 81 |
It had happened more than once since I had been in Kailiauk. |
10 |
| 7 | 82 |
The kaiila were presumably from the northern ranches and would be sold in Kailiauk, and in the towns to the south. |
10 |
| 7 | 91 |
"They do not come that often to Kailiauk," said a fellow, cheerfully. |
10 |
| 8 | 276 |
"It is no secret in Kailiauk," said Ginger, "the fingernail scratches in your kennel!" "I cannot help it if men have released my slavery," said Evelyn, tears in her eyes. |
10 |
| 8 | 280 |
"It is well known in Kailiauk that I am a better slave than you," said Evelyn. |
10 |
| 8 | 296 |
Obviously there were many men in Kailiauk. |
10 |
| 8 | 304 |
On the other hand, I had noted that girls seemed to bring high prices in Kailiauk. |
10 |
| 8 | 308 |
In Kailiauk there are many affluent fellows, rich from the trade in hide and horn, and the traffic in kaiila. |
10 |
| 8 | 390 |
There are one hundred copper tarsks to one silver tarsk in Kailiauk. |
10 |
| 8 | 633 |
"Randolph, of Kailiauk," said Ginger. |
10 |
| 8 | 634 |
"Russell, of Kailiauk," said Evelyn. |
10 |
| 8 | 658 |
"We have here, for sale," laughed the auctioneer, "two of the prettiest tavern girls in Kailiauk. |
10 |
| 8 | 663 |
"However, we encourage their buyers to see that their pretty, curved asses are removed from Kailiauk". |
10 |
| 8 | 821 |
The fellow in the broad-brimmed hat, I gathered, had influence in Kailiauk. |
10 |
| 8 | 855 |
It was an even silver tarsk, or an even hundred copper tarsks, of the sort common in Kailiauk, figured in multiples of ten, over the earlier standing bid of six nine. |
10 |
| 8 | 900 |
"Why are you in Kailiauk?" he asked. |
10 |
| 8 | 964 |
"When do you intend to leave Kailiauk?" he asked. |
10 |
| 8 | 1004 |
"These are rules in Kailiauk?" I asked. |
10 |
| 8 | 1052 |
"I will be able to get five hides of the yellow kailiauk for her," said the man. |
10 |
| 8 | 1076 |
Sell us to another!" "The house of Ram Seibar," said the fellow, amused, "wishes you both taken from Kailiauk". |
10 |
| 8 | 1112 |
"She will be worth five hides of the yellow kailiauk to me," he said. |
10 |
| 8 | 1115 |
A robe of yellow kailiauk, even in average condition, can bring as much as five silver tarsks. |
10 |
| 9 | 3 |
We were now some two pasangs east of Kailiauk. |
10 |
| 9 | 32 |
The mobility afforded by the kaiila and the abundance of the kailiauk doubtless made this choice possible, the choice of the widely ranging hunter, the proud and free warrior, over the farmer, denied distant horizons, he who must live at the mercy of the elements and in bondage to his own soil. |
10 |
| 9 | 88 |
They would learn soon enough what it might mean, in such a place, in the place of the kailiauk and the high grasses, to be a white female. |
10 |
| 13 | 81 |
I think that I had suspected these latencies in her even from the time I first saw her, suspended by the wrists, fully clothed, near the central block in the compound of the slaver in Kailiauk, Ram Seibar. |
10 |
| 13 | 208 |
A homemade lancet, sterilized in boiling water, seemed to me preferable to a sharpened kailiauk bone or a whittled lodge peg. |
10 |
| 13 | 585 |
"How then could I appear otherwise?" "You were not otherwise," I said, "until you were sold in Kailiauk, until you were put on a chain. |
10 |
| 13 | 627 |
I did not mention to her that Grunt thought he could get five hides of the golden kailiauk for her. |
10 |
| 13 | 834 |
I did not doubt but what Grunt could get five hides of the yellow kailiauk for her. |
10 |
| 13 | 1094 |
She had seen animals of this sort in the streets of Kailiauk, in the dawn of the day following her sale, when she and the others had been marched out towards the Ihanke. |
10 |
| 14 | 172 |
The other was the English girl, Margaret, whom he had put naked, her legs pulled up, under a kailiauk hide, on the grass. |
10 |
| 14 | 298 |
Kailiauk robes lay on the grass. |
