More Collar/Branding/Submission quotes
 

My eyes suddenly noted her one piece of jewelry -- a light, steel like band she wore as a ccollar.
     Tarnsman of Gor p26

Ko-lar
The Gorean pronunciation for the word for collar.

"Ko-lar," she said, indicating her collar. "It is the same word in English," I cried.
Slave Girl of Gor p80

A collar has multiple purposes:

"What is the common purposes of a collar?"
"The collar has four common purposes, Master," she said. "First, it visibly designates me as a slave, as a brand might not, if it should be covered by clothing. Second, it impresses my slavery upon me. Thirdly, it identities my master. Fourthly, fourthly, "
"Fourthly?" he asked.
"Fourthly" she said. "it makes it easier to leash me."
 He kicked her in the side. She winced. Her response had been slow.
Explorers of Gor page 80-81

Types of Collars

Alcove Collar

I locked the girl's left ankle in the first ankle ring. She looked, wonderingly, at the steel locked on her ankle. She lifted the chain, leading to the locked ankle ring on her left ankle. She looked at me. "You chained me," she said. "Oh," she said. I thrust her to her back on the furs. I then fastened her left and right wrists in their respective wrist rings. I then put the alcove collar on her, shortening its chain, fitting it over Pembe's collar. She could not then rise more than a few inches from her back. I then went to her right, and shortened the chain there. I then took her right ankle. "Oh!" she said, as I pulled it far to her right. I then locked it in the ankle ring, on its shortened chain, which is at the left of the alcove entrance, as one enters.

Capture Collar
a narrow chain controlled by two wooden handles they can wrap around a girl's neck and easily control her with

     I looked in the rear-view mirror, terrified. About my throat, closely looped, was a narrow golden chain. It was controlled by two narrow wooden handles, in his hands "It was a girl-capture chain," I said "It is to be distingued from the standard garrote, which is armed with wire and can cut a throat easily. The standard garrote, of course, is impractical for captures, for the victim, in even a reflexive movement, might cut her own throat.

Coffle Collar
has a ring upon the front and back to thread chain through, the chain is 3-4 feet in length between collared slaves some are closed with snap rings others have hinges like common slave collars in which case usually only one ring upon the collar

     The collars had front and back rings, were hinged on the right and locked on the left. This is a familiar form of coffle collar. The lengths of chain between the collars were about three to four feet long. Some were attached to the collar rings by the links themselves, opened and then reclosed about the rings, and some of them were fastened to the collar rings by snap rings. Another common form of coffle collar has its hinge in the front and closes behind the back of the neck, like the common slave collar. It has a single collar ring, usually on the right, through which, usually, a single chain is strung. Girls are spaced on such a chain, usually, by snap rings.
     Savages of Gor p135

Cord Collar
contain a small disc with their Master's name located on it

On some rence islands I have heard, incidentally, that the men have revolted and enslaved their women. These are usually kept in cord collar, with small disks attached to them, indicating the names of their masters.
Vagabonds of Gor p341

Dance Collar
a collar with chains looping up to it, fastened to a wrist rings on both wrists

A wrist ring was fastened on her right wrist. The long, slender, gleaming chain was fastened to this and, looping down and up, ascended gracefully to a wide chain ring on her collar, through which it freely passed, thence descending, looping down, and ascending, looping up, gracefully, to the left wrist ring. If she were to stand quietly, the palms of her hands on her thighs, the lower portions of the chain, those two dangling loops, would have been about at the level of her kneels, just a little higher. The higher portion of the chain, of course, would be at the collar loop
Kajira of Gor page 143

Circlet
slave jewelry/collars

From the striped tent in the center of the camp another girl emerged, clad like the other in the sleeveless
gown, a circlet on her throat and left wrist, and made her way toward the supplies wagon. She left the
pavillionlike tent sedately but as soon as she was no longer visible through the opening in the tent she threw back her head, shaking her hair, and then the girl transformed, sauntered like a she-sleen to the side of the wagon, I gasped. The walk could only have been that of a slave girl. I then realized that the girls in
attendance on the veiled woman, who had been seated in the curule chair on the palanquin, were slaves.
The circlets on their throats were doubtless collars, and the wristlet each wore was doubtless naught but
matching slave jewelry.
Slave Girl of Gor page 112

Collar Sleeve/ Collar Stocking
made of various cloth materials

I reached out, timidly, towards her throat. I touched the object there.
"What is this?" I asked. "The silk?" she asked.
"That is a collar stocking, or a collar sleeve. They may be made of many different materials. In a cooler climate they are sometimes of velvet. In most cities they are not used."
Kajira of Gor p46

Identificatory Anklet
temporary metal anklet fastened about a captured Earth girl's ankle for transportation to Gor; used in place of a collar.

My ankles were crossed and tied together with a short piece of rope. A metal anklet of some sort was fastened on my left ankle." "A girls identificatory ankled," I said, "It is removed after her delivery to Gor"
Savages of Gor page 181

Identificatory Slave Bracelet
used in lieu of a collar, described as silver, it is attached to the wrist of a slave.  Information about the owner is inscribed.
Magicians of Gor, pages 430, 441, and 459

Kur Collar
a leather collar containing a large rounded ring, the lock is sewn into the leather, about 3 inches in height making a girl keep her chin up

She approached me. From my pouch I drew forth a leather Kur collar, with its lock, and sewn in leather, its large, rounded ring. "What is it?" she asked apprehensively, I took it behind her neck, and then, closing it about her throat, thrust the large, flattish bolt, snapping it, into the locking breech. The two edges of metal, bordered by the leather, fitted closely together. The collar is some three inches in height. The girl must keep her chin up. "It is the collar of a Kur cow," I told her.
Marauders of Gor pages 322-323

Leather Collar
(a Message collar below is one leather collar)

We heard the sound of chain and saw the "first of the two females to be fetched forth."
          It was she in the improvised hood. She was led forth, before us, in her small steps, by a hand on her left arm. Then she was sat on the deck, before Aemilianus.  She sat there, hooded. I do not think she was sure, actually, where she was, except that she had presumably been conducted further aft, or if anyone were about. She sat there for a moment, listening. We were silent.  No longer wore she the leather collar, with its leash. No longer were her hands thonged behind her.
Renegades of gor page 360

Lock Collar
a hinged collar, the lock has one pin for each of the letters in the word 'kajira'. males slaves (kajirus) rarely wear them, usually they just have a hammered band of iron for a collar

The small, heavy lock on a girl's slave collar, incidentally, may be of several varieties, but almost all are cylinder locks, either of the pin or disk variety.  In a girl's collar lock there would be either six pins or six discs, one each, it is said, for each letter in the Gorean word for female slave, Kajira; the male slave, or Kajirus, seldom has a locked collar; normally a band of iron is simply hannered about his neck;
Assassin of Gor, page 51

Message Collar
a thick leather collar with is sewn about a girl's neck, the message sewn inside of it

"Did you note the collar she wore?" He had not seemed to show much interest in the high thick leather collar that the girl had had sewn about her neck. "Of course" he said. "I myself," I said," have never seen such a collar." "It is a message collar," said Kamback. "Inside the leather sewn within, will be a message."
Nomads of Gor page 40

I am Kutaituchik watched as he carefully spread open the collar, pressing back two edges. Then, from within the collar he drew forth a thin, folded piece of paper, rence paper made from the fibers of the rence plant, a tall, long stalked leafy plant which grows predominantly in the delta of the of Vosk. I suppose in itself, this meant nothing, but I naturally thought of Port Kar, malignant, squalid Port Kar, which claims suzerainty over the delta, exacting cruel tributes from the rence growers, great stocks of rence paper for trade, sons for oarsmen in cargo galleys, daughters for Pleasure Slaves in the taverns of the city. I would have expected the message to have been written either on stout, glossy surfaced linen paper, of the sort milled in Ar, or perhaps on vellum and parchment, prepared in many cities and used commonly in scrolls, the process involving among other things the washing and liming of skins, their scraping and stretching, dusting them with sifted chalk, rubbing them down with pumice.

Northern Collar
black metal, used in Torvaldsland and surrounding areas, one part of the collar contains two small black flat thick rings, this collar is welded on the girl

"Look up at me," said the smith. The slender, blond girl, tears in her eyes, looked up at him. He opened the hinged collar of black iron, about a half inch in height. He put it about her throat. It also contained a welded ring, suitable for the attachment of a chain. "Put your head beside the anvil," he said. He took her hair, and threw it forward, and thrust her neck against the left side of the anvil. Over the anvil lay the joining ends of the two pieces of the collar. The inside of the collar was separated by a quarter of an inch from her neck. I saw the fine hairs on the back of her neck. On one part of the collar are two, small, flat, thick rings. On the other is a single such ring. These rings, when the wings of the collar are joined, are aligned, those on one wing on top and bottom, that on the other in the center. They fit closely together, one on top of the other. The holes in each, about three eighths of an inch in diameter, too, of course, are perfectly aligned. The smith, with his thumbs, forcibly, pushed a metal rivet through the three holes. The
rivet fits snugly.
"Do not move your head, Bond-maid," said the smith. Then, with great blows of the iron hammer,
he riveted the iron collar about her throat. A man then pulled her by the hair from the anvil and threw her to one side. She lay there weeping, a naked bond-maid, marked and collared.
Marauders of Gor pages 105-106

Plank Collar
a plank which opens horizontally, each half of which contains five matching, semicircular openings, which, when it is set on pinions, closed, and chained in place

The primary holding arrangement for women on the benches, however, are not chains. Each place on the bench is fitted with ankle and wrist stocks, and for each bench there is a plank collar, a plank which opens horizontally, each half of which contains five matching, semicircular openings, which, when it is set on pinions, closed, and chained in place, provides thusly five sturdy, wooden inclosures for the small, lovely throats of women. The plank is thick and thus the girl's chins are held high. The plank is further reinforced between each girl with a narrowly curved iron band, the open ends of which are pierced, this is slid tight in its slots, in its metal retainers, about the boards, and secured in place with a four inch metal pin, which may or may not be locked in place.
Savages of Gor page 60

Plate Collar
commonly used on a male slave, the thick metal is is curved around his neck with heavy blows from the anvil

I could see the heavy metal collar hammered about the man's neck, not uncommon in a male slave. His head would have been placed across the anvil, and the metal curved about his neck with great blows.
Hunters of Gor page 13

Retaining Collar
a heavy thick collar with a heavy chain used to retain the slave

"I was in a cell," she said, "naked, lying on some straw, chained by the neck to a wall."
"And your emotions?" I asked.
 She looked up at me.
"My thigh was sore." she said. "I had been branded."
"Of course." I said.
"There were two collars on my neck." she said, "a light, temporary slave collar, identifying me as a slave provisionally in the custody of magistrates, and, over it, a retaining collar, too, was close fitting, scarcely less so, it seemed, than the collar it covered. It was heavy and thick. The chain to it was heavy, too, with thick links. It was about four feet long, it was fastened to a stout ring in the wall, about a foot above the floor."
Magicians of Gor page 309

Rope Collar
a rough and course collar of rope "This rope collar is rough and coarse," said Ladletender, fingering the rope collar.
"Would you not like a smooth steel collar, one slender and gleaming, or perhaps ornamented and cunningly wrought, or enameled, perhaps to match your eyes and hair, one designed in color and workmanship to enhance your style of beauty, one perhaps measured or custom fitted to the beauty of your own slave throat?"
"Whatever pleases Master," I said.
I knew that a steel collar did immeasurably enhance the beauty of a girl.
Slave Girl of Gor page 215

When Thrunus had tied it on my throat he had shown it to me in one of Melina's mirrors. I had almost fainted at the sight of it, so exciting it had made me appear, so sexually charge it had made me. Seeing my state, he had used me immediately, and I had, my whole body, helplessly, to my amazement, responded instantly to him. He had collared me, I dared not dream what my responsiveness would have been had the collar been not of rope, which I might cut or untie, but of true steel, in which I would be helplessly locked. In s sense I both desired and feared a true collar. Collared, how could I resist any man?
Slave Girl of Gor page 215

Shipping Collar
shows a girl as part of a shipment of cargo, probably same idea if not the same thing as a transport collar

"What sort of collar do you wear?" "A shipping collar, Master. It shows that I am a portion of the cargo of the Palms of Schendi."
Explorers of Gor page 79

Sirik
collars with sirik chains, wrist and ankle loops all attached

 Chains were brought, sirik chains, with their collars, and wrist and ankle loops. all attached, strung on an
individual hold chain. I threw six sirik chains over my left shoulder.
"Let us begin," said Imnak.
Beasts of Gor page 428

No longer wore she the leather collar, with its leash. No longer were her hands thonged behind her.
But she was in sirik. The metal collar was fastened on her throat. From it a long chain, dangled downward. To this chain, near her waist, was attached another chain, terminating at each end with a wrist ring, into which rings her wrists had been placed and locked. At the end of the chain dangling from the collar, to which the wrist-ring chain was attached, was an ankle-ring chain, terminating at each end with an ankle ring, into which her ankles had been placed and locked. The neck chain was rather long and if she were to stand some of it would have lain upon the deck. The device permits of numerous adjustments. As it was now adjusted, her wrists had some twelve inches of play, her ankles some fourteen inches of play. The smallness of her steps had been a function of the current adjustment of her ankle chaining.
Renegades of Ror page 360

both girls wore the Sirik, a light chain favored for female slaves by many Gorean masters, it consists of a Turian-type collar, a loose, rounded circle of steel, to which a light, gleaming chain is attached, should the girl stand, the chain, dangling from her collar, falls to the floor, it is about ten or twelve inches longer than is required to reach from her collar to her ankles, to this chain, at the natural fall of her wrists, is attached a pair of slave bracelets, at the end of the chain there is attached another device, a set of linked ankle rings, which, when closed about her ankles, lifts a portion of the slack chain from the floor, the Sirik is an incredibly graceful thing and designed to enhance the beauty of its wearer,  perhaps it should only be added that the slave bracelets and the ankle rings may be removed from the chain and used separately, this also, of course, permits the Sirik to function as a slave leash
Nomads of Gor page 42

Tharna State Collar
plain gray metal collar wore by state slaves in Tharna

I noted her throat was encircled by a collar of gray metal. I supposed it indicated that she was a state slave of Tharna.
Outlaw of Gor page 102

Threads of Leather
steel collar encasing a girl's throat with threads of leather from it, opening in the back by a collar lock

I suppressed a moan. Bikkie was excellent. I had little doubt but what she was a valuable slave, and would bring a high price. Bikkie wore, like one or two of the other girls still on the dais, only threads of leather, some dozen or so, depending from a leather sheathing encasing the locked, steel collar on her throat. On the front of the leather sheathing, which opened only at the back, to admit the key to the collar lock, there was sewn a red leather patch, small, in the shape of a heart. The heart to Goreans, as to certain of those of Earth, is understood as a symbol of love. The life of a slave girl, of course, is understood, too, as a life of love. She is given no alternative. The leather  threads depending from the collar are stout enough to bind the hands of a girl, perhaps at her collar, that she may not interfere with what is done to her body, but they are not stout enough to bind a man.. They may be used, of course in pleasing a master, not only in setting off the girl's ill concealed beauty, but in touching him, brushing him, stimulating him, twining about him, and so on. The girl knows that the same strands which can bind her helplessly as a slave, are strong enough only to delight and please her master. This helps her to understand that he is a man, and that she is a woman.
Rogue of Gor page 280

Transport Collar
temporay collars used for transportation of newly sold slaves or slaves to be sold, probably same idea if not the same thing as a shipping collar

We all, too, had new collars on our necks, probably transport collars.  They had metal tags attached to them.
Dancer of Gor Page 73

Turian Collar
fits loosely around a girl's neck so when grasped by a Man's fist the girl can still within it

The Turian collar lies loosely on the girl, a round ring, it fits so loosely that, when grasped in a mans
     fist, the girl can turn within it, the common Gorean collar, on the other hand, is flat, snugly fitting
     steel band. Both collars lock in the back, behind the the girls neck. The Turian collar is more difficult
     to engrave, but it, like the flat collar, will bear some legend assuring that the girl, if found, will be
     promptly returned to her Master.
