ORDER OF GREETINGS AND PROPER GREETINGS.
*Under no circumstances is a slave to Greet a Free by their name. It shows utter disrespect and could very well get you killed.*
1) If your Master/Mistress is present, you would greet him in the manner of his choosing, he being the most important person in your world, the one upon who your very existence depends. Typically, "Greetings, my Master." If he is not present, or you are not privately owned skip to step 2.
2) If the Ubar/Admin/ Ruling Jarl of the Schoolis present, you would greet him seperately from all others. He is the head of state and commands the respect that is due him. You would greet Him, "Greetings, Ubar."
3) Gor is a Man's world, a fact that should be omnipresent in your mind, at any gathering of Free, the Men should always be greeted first. The proper address would be "Greetings, Masters."
4) Free Women are only free through the favor of Free Men, they should be greeted in accordance with that tradition. They are always to be greeted after any Masters present. "Greetings, Mistresses."
5) Although in the books, everyday interactions between panthers and slaves was not a common occurence, SL Gor presents us with different circumstances. Although technically not Free, having given up that right when they left the roles Gorean society impressed upon them, Panther girls are fully armed outlaws who can hurt or kill a slave. Respect and caution should be shown to them. The proper address for panthers is either "Greetings, Mistress." or "Greetings, Huntress."
6) Lastly you would greet your fellow slaves in order of rank as, "Greetings, first girl." and "Greetings,2nd girl." Then you " Greetings first boy". Greetings 2nd boy". then you "Greetings, kajirae" and last "Greetings. kajirus". You are all bound by the steel you wear around your neck, you are all of the same rank.
7) then when visiting cities pay attention to how other slaves are greeting
