'Deg' (small sword) is a shortened form of the word 'der Degen' (small sword). Both words refer to a historical thrusting weapon.

This word is very rare and considered outdated. It is used mainly in Switzerland or in historical texts.
In diesem Schweizer Dialektroman wird das Wort „Deg“ anstelle von „Degen“ benutzt.
