Assassins were served just like any other Free Man on Gor, there was no special serve just for them.
"He frightens me," she wept. "He is of the black caste."
"Serve him wine," said he, "or you will be stripped and thrown into a pen of male slaves."
The girl turned and withdrew, then approached again, climbing the stairs, delicately, as though timidly, head down. Then she leaned forward, bending her knees slightly, her body graceful, and spoke, her voice a whisper in my ear, an invitation, "Wine, Master?" as though offering not wine, but herself. In a large house, with various slave girls, it is thought only an act of courtesy on the part of a host to permit a guest the use of one of the girls for the evening. Each of the girls considered eligible for this service, at one time or another during the evening, will approach the guest and offer him wine. His choice is indicated by the one from whom he accepts wine.
I looked at the girl. Her eyes met mine, softly. Her lips were slightly parted. "Wine, Master?" she asked.
"Yes," I said, "I will have wine."
She poured the diluted wine into my cup, bowed her head and with a shy smile, backed gracefully down the stairs behind me, then turned and hurried away.
"Of course," said Ho-Tu, "you may not have her tonight, for she is White Silk."

Bazi tea ceremony- There is no such thing as the Bazi tea ceremony, yes tea comes from Bazi and is served highly sweetened in three small cups but the serve itself is an Asian ceremony.
"'Make me tea,' I said. 'Is it ready?' I asked. I looked at the tiny copper kettle on the small stand. A tiny kaiila-dung fire burned under it. A small, heavy, curved glass was nearby, on a flat box, which would hold some two ounces of the tea. Bazi tea is drunk in tiny glasses, usually three at a time, carefully measured. She did not make herself tea, of course. She lifted the kettle from the fire and, carefully, poured me a tiny glass of tea. I took the glass." Tribesmen of Gor, page 139

Black wine is very expensive and not readily available on Gor
"I grinned, and washed down the eggs with a swig of hot black wine, prepared from the beans grown upon the slopes of the Thentis mountains. This black wine is quite expensive. Men have been slain on Gor for attempting to smuggle the beans out of the Thentian territories." Beasts of Gor, p. 21
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slaves are taught to beg mercy but they should also be taught to beg forgivness.
"Do you bargain?" I asked. "No, Master," she cried. "No, Master! Forgive me, Master! Please forgive me, Master!" Fighting Slave of Gor, page 97

Veils- Not all Free Women wore veils.
"In the northern villages, and in the forest towns, and northward on the coast the woman do not veil themselves, as is common in the cities to the south." Marauders of Gor, pg. 25
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are no Horses or Dogs on Gor
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ice- Ice was a luxury and most homes did not have it.
"My house, incidentally, like most Gorean houses, had no ice chest. There is little cold storage on Gor. Generally food is preserved by being dried or salted. Some cold storage, of course, does exist. Ice is cut from ponds in the winter, and then stored in ice houses, under sawdust. One may go to the icehouses for it, or have it delivered in ice wagons. Most Goreans, of course, cannot afford the luxury of ice in the summer." Guardsman of Gor, page 295
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Karta- Karta is not a position mentioned in the books, the position Prostrate is much like it.
I knelt before the guest, putting the palms of my hands on the floor and my head to the tiles.

It is collar, not ko-lar, in the books that it was used to accentuate pronunciation.
"Collar!" I said. Eta frowned. "Ko-lar," she repeated,
again indicating the neck band of steel fashioned on her throat. "Ko-lar," I said, carefully following her pronunciation. Eta accepted this." Slave Girl of Gor

a first girl of the home was called Mistress and it was capped, there was no Free Woman MoSP or Mistress of the slave pens.
"Indeed, if there is a large number of slaves, there are sometimes hierarchies of "first girls," lower-level first girls reporting to higher level first girls, and so on. The lower-level slaves will commonly address their first girl as "Mistress." Thus, in some situations, the same girl may be first girl to certain girls and be subordinated herself to another, on a higher level, whom she will address as "Mistress." Sometimes a hierarchy is formed in which girls are ranked in such a manner that each must address the girls above her as "Mistress." More commonly, it is only the lowest slave, usually the newest slave, who must do this with all the others, whereas the others will address only their first girl as "Mistress," and, of course, any free woman whom they might, to their risk, or peril, encounter." Magicians of Gor, page 123

Palms up on nadu was only if the slave was begging to be used.
nadu, palms down-
"Come now, my pretty slaves" said Ginger. "Kneel straight. Back straight, heads up. Back on your heels there!. Spread those pretty knees. Yes, that is the way men like it. Put your hands, palms down, on your thighs. Good. Good. Excellent!" Savages of Gor
nadu, palms up-
"I walked about her, examining her, She kept her back very straight, and her head up. I was then again before her. I noted that the palm of her hands, so soft, so vulnerable, had turned on her thighs, so that they faced up. Among slave girls this is a common ways of signaling need, helplessness, a desire to please." Vagabonds of Gor
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Silk Colors- silk colors were to determine if a slave was opened or unopened, not determine what level they were, as there were no silk levels. There were a few different silk colors mentioned in the books, blue, purple, yellow, gray, brown, black, white and gold, red, white, and multicolored.
"The expression "red silk," in Gorean, tends to be used as a category in slaving, and also, outside the slaving context, as an expression in vulgar discourse, indicating that the woman is no longer a virgin, or, as the Goreans say, at least vulgarly of slaves, that her body has been opened by men. Its contrasting term is "white silk," usually used of slaves who are still virgins, or, equivalently, slaves whose bodies have not yet been opened by men." Blood Brothers of Gor, page 472
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sula-ki is not mentioned in the books, sula on the other hand is.
"Sula, Kajira!" said the man. She slid her legs from under her and lay on her back, her hands at her sides, palms up, legs open.
Explorers of Gor pg. 77
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Serving-
slaves did not ask to approach or kneel, they merely served.
slaves did not take three steps back.
slaves could use a knife in cooking, or if given permission.
slaves did not test the rim of a vessel, especially in the North.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no such position as Table.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third person speech- third person speech was rarely used, mainly it was used as punishment.
"`Who!' she demanded.
`I did,' I cried. `I did!'
`Speak as a slave!' demanded Ute.
`El-in-or betrayed Ute!' I cried. `El-in-nor betrayed Ute!'
Captive of Gor, page 287
There are kitchens, cooking areas and cold rooms, not serveries.
Cold rooms were chilly not freezing cold as ice was not readily available and usually there was only one big block.
There is only white and yellow sugar. Red and white salt, others are mentioned but not described in detail
Slaves could use the word "Tal" when greeting
