A long slender spear, eight to ten feet long, designed to be used from the saddle of a rider on kaiilaback. These lances are not used couched, but rather carried in the right fist, easily, and are flexible and light. Used primarily for thrusting. They are black in color, cut from the poles of young tem trees, and so flexible that they may be bent almost double before they break. A loose loop of boskhide, wound twice about the right fist, helps the user to retain the weapon in mounted combat. It is seldom, if ever, thrown. First described in book #4, Nomads of Gor.
