Gorean Dictionary - Q

quala (noun): small, dun colored, three-toed mammal with a stiff, brushy mane of black hair; pl. qualae (Book 1: Tarnsman of Gor, page 140; Book 6: Raiders of Gor, page 4)

quarrel (noun): small arrow of the crossbow. Its initial velocity is the better part of a pasang per second. The crossbow is the preferred weapon of the assassin. (Book 1: Tarnsman of Gor, page 100; Book 6: Raiders of Gor, page 4)

quern (noun): a grinding implement which consists primarily of a mount, two stones, an overhead beam and a pole. The two stones are circular grinding stones. The bottom stone has a small hub on its upper surface that fits into an inverted concave depression in the upper stone. This helps to keep the stones together. It also has shallow, radiating surface grooves through which the grindings may escape between the stones. (Book 23: Renegades of Gor, page 18)

quiva (noun): balanced saddle knife about a foot in length double edged; it tapers to a dagger like point. It is regarded as more of a missile weapon than a hand knife. (Book 4: Nomads of Gor, pages 11, 67 and 124)
