The Sun


Oddly enough, one of the expressions in the tongue of Gor for our
sun was Lar-Torvis, which means The Central Fire, another Pythagorean
expression, except that it had not been, as I understand it, originally
used by the Pythagoreans to refer to the sun but to another body.
The more common expression for the sun was Tor-tu-Gor, which
means Light Upon the Home Stone.

The Moons


I looked up and saw the three moons of Gor, the large moon and the
two small ones, one of the latter called the Prison Moon, for no reason
I understood.

The Stars


Sometimes I guided my tarn by the stars, the same fixed stars I had
seen from another angle above my head in the mountains of
New Hampshire.

The Common Star


“Not unlike Tor-tu-Gor, or Sol,” I said, “the common star of
Earth and Gor.”
