 Q #  Question

I will apologize now if this is one of "those" questions, but, I've been in argument after argument in regards to Masters/Jarls referring to their slaves/bonds as "mine" when I recall discussions between Talbot and Samos using this term. However I have been unable to locate these discussions to prove the term had been used if you could help or prove her right i would appreciate it very much. Thank you Bella

Answer
Greetings Bella,

Your question is quite appropriate.

If I read the context of your question correctly, you are asking about the use of the word "Mine" in the terms of a name, such as a master saying to his slave something like "Come here, Mine." or "Heel me, Mine."

I would have expected to find several instances where such a term is used. However, while there are many cases where a slave is referred to as mine, all such times it is in the context of a referral to property. For instance, something like "She is mine." or "You are mine."

I found no case where the word Mine is used as a name when spoken.

There is one reference where Mine is used within a group of names. There is then a basis to say it is proper to use the word Mine as a way to distinguish one girl from anther.

I wish you well,
Fogaban



She stepped out from behind me, proud but resigned to her fate, ready to give herself over to these wretches to be collared and chained, stripped and sold in the markets of Gor.

I laughed.

"She is mine," I said, "and you may not have her."
Outlaw of Gor Book 2 Page 58


I smiled to myself for I could always tell her, and truthfully, that having saved her life she was now mine by Gorean law, so brief had been her freedom, and that it was up to me to determine the extent and nature of her clothing, and indeed, whether or not she would be allowed clothing at all.

"There is no escape," I told her. "You are mine."

"Give her to me," said Samos. "I want to bind her hand and foot and hurl her naked to the urts in the canals."

"She is mine," I said. "If she is to be bound hand and foot and hurled naked to the urts in the canals, it is I who will do so."

"As you wish," said Samos.
Explorers of Gor Book 13 Page 25


These claims may be explicit, as in branding, binding and collaring, or as in the uttering of a claimancy formula, such as "I own you," "You are mine," or "You are my slave," or implicit, as in, for example, permitting the slave to feed from your hand or follow you.

"Thank you, Master," she breathed, elated. 'Feiqa' is a lovely name. It is not unknown among dancers in the Tahari. Other such names are 'Aytul', 'Benek', 'Emine', 'Faize', 'Mine', 'Yasemine' and 'Yasine'.
