Kajira
Kajira is the term for "slave-girl"
in John Norman's "Gor"
novels. Slaves in the Gorean
lifestyle will refer to themselves as "kajirae". The
phrase ""la kajira"" is said to mean "I am a slave-girl" in the main
Gorean language (the most widely-spoken lingua franca in the known
regions of the planet Gor); this is one of the few complete Gorean-
language sentences given in the Gor novels.
The word is usually seen in the feminine form "kajira"
(plural "kajirae"), as most slaves in the Gorean lifestyle are female;
the masculine forms are "kajirus" and "kajiri" (following the rules
of nominative adjective morphology in the Latin language, as seen
also with words such as "alumnus"/"alumna", etc.). The
construction "kajiras" is incorrect, but is occasionally seen in third-
party writing
KAJIRA is also the name of the wife of the Prophet Mohammed pbuh.It is
a pity that this name was chosen for the above as it could easily
offend.See also
