ji�e�toh : In the Old Tongue, "honor and obligation" or "honor and duty." The complex code by which the Aiel live, and which would take a shelf of volumes to explain. By way of small example, there are many paths to gain honor in battle. The smallest is to kill, for anyone can kill. The greatest is to touch an armed and living enemy without causing harm. Somewhere in the middle is to make and enemy gai�shain. For another example, shame, which also has many levels in ji�e�toh, is considered on many of those levels to be worse than pain, injury, or even death. For a third, there are, again, many degrees of toh, or obligation, but even the smallest of these must be met in full. Toh outweighs other considerations to the extent that an Aiel will often accept shame, if necessary, to fulfill an obligation that might seem minor to an outlander. See also gai�shain.
