sluit

The Hottentot man put a leg of the kid under his coat and left the rest of the meat for the two in the sluit, and walked away.

In front the said ground, perfectly open, sloped away gently to a sluit, constituting a first-rate arena for a rough-and-tumble.

Every kopje was a natural fortress, every sluit a perfect line of trenches, and every donga a nursery for death.

They were taking advantage of a sluit or furrow—crawling like serpents along in this precarious shelter.
