   Coordinate term: rand

   • 1988, Heinz Ellenberg, Vegetation Ecology of Central Europe, page 329:

     Whenever one wants to get to a typical raised bog one usually has to wade through the more or less waterlogged lagg. On the bog itself in dry weather one could walk about in light shoes without getting one's feet wet.

   • 1995, John Eastman, The Book of Swamp & Bog, page 124:

     Surface-water inflow is now largely confined to the lagg, or moat, often surrounding a bog's outer margins.
