Among the Wagon Peoples, to be clad Kajir means, for a girl, to wear four
articles, two red two black; a red cord, the Curla, is tied about the waist; the
Chatka, or long, narrow strip of black leather, fits over the cord in front,
passes under, and then again, from the inside, passes over the cord in back; the
Chatka is drawn tight; the Kalmak is then donned; it is a short, open,
sleeveless vest of black leather; lastly the Koora, a strip of red cloth,
matching the Curla, is wound about the head, to hold the hair back, for slave
women, among the Wagon Peoples, are not permitted to braid, or otherwise dress
their hair; it must be, save for the Koora, worn loose. For a male slave or
Kajirus, of the Wagon Peoples, and there are few, save for the work chains, to
be clad Kajir means to wear the Kes, a short, sleeveless work tunic of black
leather."
Nomads of Gor
"The red cord, or Curla, was knotted about
my waist, tightly, the knot, a slip knot, might be loosened with a single tug
over my left hip. Over the Curla in the front, slipping under the body and
between the legs, and passing over the Curla in the back, was the Chatka, or
narrow strip of black leather, some six inches in width, some five feet or so in
length; it was drawn tight; when a girl wears the Curla and Chatka, the brand,
whether on left or right thigh, is fully visible, for the inspection of masters.
I also wore a brief, open, sleeveless vest of black leather, the Kalmak. I wore
a broad Koora, which, kerchieflike, covered most of my head." Slave Girl of Gor
