Usage examples of "mek".
Conceivably these components might have been replaced from the Mek shops on the second sub-level, but none of the group had any knowledge of the Mek nomenclature or warehousing system.
The Mek typically wore no garment except possibly a work apron or a tool-belt, and in the sunlight his rust-bronze skin made a handsome display.
Jardine and Salonson of Tuang, considered the Mek bland and phlegmatic, but the profound Claghorn of Castle Hagedorn asserted otherwise.
The emotions of the Mek, said Claghorn, were different from human emotions, and only vaguely comprehensible to man.
The most reasonable conjecture was also the simplest: the Mek resented servitude and hated the Earthmen who had removed him from his natural environment.

Below the plaza were three service levels: the stables and garages at the bottom, next the Mek shops and Mek living quarters, then the various storerooms, warehouses and special shops: bakery, brewery, lapidary, arsenal, repository, and the like.

With an unhurried flourish Xanten whipped away a Mek who had leapt forward with a knife, and without deigning to aim fired at and destroyed the Mek who stood on the companionway, even as the slug sang past his head.
Something tickled his mind: the recollection of the Mek who had fired the pellet gun.
From the direction of the hangars came a single Mek, evidently attracted by the sounds of destruction.
Here was another of the larger Meks, and now Xanten saw it to be without a syrup sac, a Mek in the original state.
