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.See also
