quag

There is a quag between us and that light, and you will walk into it up to your neck unless I take you round.

Once the quag was so deep, that to avoid sinking in it we had to be carried, one by one, on the back of our Malay driver.

I suppose he must have wrung his off hind leg in fighting through the quag.

Quaw or quagh; a quag or quagmire:—'I was unwilling to attempt the quagh.'

"I always said old Cornelius Husk was slow," said one Quag man to another.
