Please note that Kassar is not accepted in many Gorean chatrooms nor is knowledge of it required in the Sable Tarn. This lexicon of Kassar words is here for you to peruse, and use if you're a member of a Gorean chatroom that allows its use. Make sure to ask before hand, because there are those who would kill you for using it.

Those who tell you that Kassar isn't Gorean are actually correct. Kassar is an invented language, created to give a new flavor and appeal to o/l Gor. As you may guess from the statement in the preceding paragraph, Kassar isn't accepted in many, if not most, Gorean taverns/inns.
