flag
Cloth country symbol
Three different words are spelled f-l-a-g.
The most frequent by far is the usually rectangular piece of cloth that symbolizes a state, a country, a ship, and the like.
The derived verb literally means mark with a flag but more often the idea of calling attention to something.
Another flag is a verb that signifies lessening intensity: Interest flagged when she started preaching.
Finally, flag can be short for flagstone.
If you flag a pathway, you line it with these.
