The word covey exhibits a fascinating duality in literature. On one hand, it serves as a proper name, most notably in the works of Frederick Douglass where Mr. Edward Covey is portrayed as a ruthless slave-breaker and emblem of cruelty and oppression [1, 2, 3, 4]. This personal name, laden with negative connotations, comes to symbolize the inhumanity of slavery. On the other hand, the term also functions in its literal sense to denote a small flock of birds, used vividly in descriptions of nature’s delicate assemblies, as seen in passages that speak of coveys of partridges or snipe [5, 6, 7]. Moreover, a metaphorical usage emerges when the term describes groups or small units in military or social contexts [8, 9, 10], demonstrating the layered and versatile application of the word across different literary genres.
