In literature, the word "quail" operates on two levels. As a noun, it designates a small, elusive bird frequently featured in scenes of hunting and rustic life—as seen in passages that refer to tracking or shooting quail ([1], [2], [3]). As a verb, "quail" vividly conveys a sense of recoiling in fear or shrinking back from overwhelming challenges, a usage that enriches descriptions of human emotion and valor ([4], [5], [6]). This duality adds layers of meaning, allowing authors to evoke both the natural delicacy of the bird and the psychological impact of intimidation, whether describing a character’s inner dread or illustrating the spirited defiance of one who refuses to waver ([7], [8], [9]).
