Breve premessa: la ricerca l'ho fatta con la parola "greeting" al plurale, per verificare anche quante volte appare con la semplice accezione di "saluto", come in questo caso:

 

"Tal!" I called, lifting my hand, palm inward, in Gorean greeting.

 

Nomads of Gor, Pag. 13

 

In effetti, non si comprende quale altro senso dovrebbe avere, visto che in ognuna delle 214 comparse (tra singolare e plurale) che fa, viene indistintamente usato da tutti verso tutti.

Non vi riporto ulteriori esempi, li avete qua sotto.

Schiavi verso Schiavi, Liberi verso Liberi, Schiavi Liberi e soprattutto Liberi verso Schiavi; non solo: perfetti sconosciuti si salutano con un bel Greetings più di una volta.

 

Domandina: dove starebbe l'uso gerarchico del greetings che impone l'uso del Greeting unicamente dalle schiave verso i liberi mostrando (secondo chi?) segno di inferiorità?

SAVAGES OF GOR

 

"Tal," said Samos, clearly, obviously addressing this greeting to our shaggy confreres. "Tal, large friends."

pag. 10

"How many times have you proffered greetings to them?" I asked.

[…]

"Such creatures do not care, usually, to be touched by humans," I said. "The human analogy to such a greeting then might be six similar vocal signals.

Pag. 13

 

"I am Kog," came from the translator. "I am below the rings. With me is Sardak, who is within the rings. I speak on behalf of the Peoples, and the chieftains of the Peoples, those who stand above the rings. I bring you greetings from the Dominants, and from the Conceivers and Carriers. No greetings do I bring you from those unworthy of the rings, from the discounted ones, the unnamed and craven ones. Similarly no greetings do I bring you from our domestic animals, those who are human and otherwise. In short, honor do I do unto you, bringing you greetings from those who are entitled to extend greetings, and bringing you no greetings from those unworthy to give greetings. Thus, then, do I bring you greetings on behalf of the Peoples, on behalf of the ships, and the Steel Worlds. Thus, then, do I bring you greetings on behalf of the cliffs of the thousand tribes."

Pag. 15

 

"I bring you greetings," said Samos, "from the Council of Captains, of Port Kar, Jewel of Gleaming Thassa."

[…]

"I bring you greetings, too," said Samos, "from the free men of Port Kar. I do not bring you greetings, of course, from those who are unworthy to greet you, for example, from our slaves, who are nothing, and who labor for us, and whom we use for our sport and pleasure."

Pag. 16

 

"Kodakiciyapi," said Grunt. "Hou, Koda. Hou, Mitakoda." 'Peace, friendship,' had said Grunt, 'Greetings, friend. Greetings, my friend,' in Dust Leg.

"Greetings, Iwoso," said Cuwignaka. "How beautiful you have become." He had spoken to a girl who was standing near the stirrup of another girl, mounted on a kaiila.

"Greetings, Master," she says. She then lifts the collar in her teeth, that he may put it on her.

Behind Hci were two of his fellows, of the Sleen Soldiers. One held a string of twenty kaiila.

Pag. 139

 

I stopped, and fell to my knees before him. It was the lad who had been first among the herders, when I had carried the beaded quirt to the girl herd. 

"Greetings," said he. 

"Greetings, Master," I said.

Pag. 159

 

At our rearward lines I had seen Kahintokapa. He had raised his hand to me, palm open, in greeting. I had returned this gesture.

Pag. 200

 

It was now clearer to me, as it had not been before, why Grunt had not performed these tasks himself. 

"Greetings," said Grunt. 

"Greetings," I said. 

"Now you see me as I am," said Grunt. "Do not attempt to conseal your repulsion."

Pag. 213
 

"Greetings," I said to him, in Gorean. 

"Greetings," he stammered. He still clutched the tiny pemmican cake.

Pag. 241

 

"Is it you?" asked Pumpkin, coming forward, blinking against the light of the fire. 

"Greetings," I said. "We have made ourselves your guests." 

"You are welcome," said Pumpkin, ungainly in his Waniyanpi garb.

Pag. 287

 

The other tarn, too, then, alit near me, on the grass. 

"Greetings, old friend," I said. "It has been a long time."

Pag. 328

 

I then, as it loweed its head, took its head in my hands and wept. "Greetings, Ubar of the Skies," I said. "We are together again."

Pag. 360

 

"Master!" cried the slave girl, desisting for the moment from following her master, and kneeling swiftly before me, and kissing my feet.

PLAYERS OF GOR

 

At dawn on the day of the vernal equinox a ceremonial greeting of the sun takes place, conducted usually by the Ubar or administrator of the city.

[…]

The completion of this greeting is signified by, and celebrated by, a ringing of the great bars suspended about the city.

Pag. 3

 

She inclined her head to me, and then lifted it, acknowledging my greeting.

Pag. 5

 

At its sudden climax, followed by an instant of startling silence, the door of the vertical cabinet burst open and the magician, smiling, to cries of surprise, of awe and wonder, stepped forth, waving, his hands free, greeting the crowd.

Pag. 27

 

"Greetings, Captain," siad the man. 

"Greetings," I said to him. It was the officer of the Master of Revels.

Pag. 40

 

"Greetings, noble merchants," said the girl.

"Hah!" snarled the Chino to his fellow, Lecchio. "Our disguises are perfect! She takes us for merchants!"

Pag. 111

 

In a moment or two the Brigella had again reached the vicinity of Boots Tarsk-Bit who turned about, congenially enough, effecting some surprise at the sight of her. "Greetings," he said. 

"I kneel before you as a naked slave," cried the girl. "I beg your collar! I beg yourcollar!"

Pag. 112

 

"Beware, Master," cried the girl. "The feed hunters have returned!" 

"Greetings, Boys," said Boots. 

"Greetings," said Chino and Lecchio to Boots. 

"Do you know these men, Master?" asked the girl, not daring to rise from her knees.

Pag. 119

 

"Gentlemen," said Boots, "may I present Lady Telitsia, as, for the time, as it pleases me, I shall refer to her." 

"Greetings," said Lecchio. 

"Greetings," she whispered.

"Ho!" called Petrucchio, weakly, lifting his hand, greeting me. 

"Greetings," said Andronicus. 

"Greetings, fellows," I said. 

"We would have joined the others, coming forth to bid you welcome," said Andronicus, "but Petrucchio is feeling a bit low today, and I am tending him." "That is all right," I said.

"Tal, Rarius," said he to me then. "Greetings Warrior,"

Pag. 88

 

"Greetings," said Boabissia. 

"Greetings," I said to her. She seemed to me very pretty this morning, smiling, in the long Alar dress.

pag. 124

 

She was in chains. I did not fear that she would attempt to escape. But it is good, from time to time, to so secure your girls. Just as they are subject to the whip, so, too, are they subject to chains. 

I rose to my feet and went to stand beside Boabissia. 

"Greetings," she said. 

"Greetings," I said to her.

Pag. 144

 

"Greetings," said a fellow, coming up to me.

Pag. 180

 

The fellow had greeted us pleasantly.

Pag. 186

a whelp. Ah, greetings, Borko! How are you, old fellow?“

Pag. 160

"Greetings, Citizen,“ said the first of my master’s men, he between

the handles of the cart. 

"Greetings,“ said the fellow before whom I knelt. He was not, of

course, a citizen of Argentum.

Pag. 309

"You may greet your master,“ said the overseer to me. 

"Greetings, Master,“ I said.

Pag. 329

"Greet her,“ said Tupita. 

"Greetings, Tuka,“ whispered one. "Greetings, Tuka,“ whispered the other.

RENEGADES OF GOR

"Greetings," I said. 

"You must flee!" she whispered. "Save yourself! I am known! Do not concern yourself for me!" 

I removed the leash and collar from her.

Pag. 153

 

We heard some cheers from down on the wall, a handful presumably greeting the appearance of the impaling spear, seemingly burdened.

Pag. 179

 

There was other music, too, here and there, from the piers, greeting other ships.

VAGABONDS OF GOR

His blade reentered its sheath.

“Greetings, men of Ar!” said Marcus, lifting his hand.

Pag. 52

 

 

MAGICIANS OF GOR
 

"Greetings, Teibar!" called a fellow. 

"Hail, Teibar!" called another.

From the latter manner of greeting, I gathered this Teibar might be excellent with the staff, or sword. Such greetings are usually reserved for recognized experts, or champions, at one thing or another.

Pag. 36

 

"Greetings from Lurius of Jad, Ubar of Cos, to the people of Glorious Ar," read a man, rather slowly, pointing to letters with his fingers, which led me to believe that his literacy was not likely to be much advanced over that of the other.

Pag. 55

 

"Look," cried a man. "He has his sword!" "Seremides retains his sword!" cried a man, calling back to those less near the platform. 

There was much cheering greeting this announcement.

pag. 63

 

"I bring greetings," said he, "from my ubar, your friend, Lurius of Jad."

[…]

"First," said Myron, "I bring greetings from Lurius of Jad to Talena of Ar, daughter of Marlenus of Ar, Ubar of Ubars!" Talena inclined her head, accepting these greetings.

[…]

The impressiveness of greeting Talena first, I had no doubt, had its significance.

[…]

"And greetings, too," called Myron, "to our friends and brothers, the noble people of Ar!"

Pag. 70

 

"Greetings and welcome, noble guardsmen of Cos!" said she, delightedly. "I think you have arrived in time!"

Pag. 168

 

Too, folks do not just welcome strange slaves into their houses, greeting them and inviting them to share their kettles.
