In Dutch, c.q. is an abbreviation of the Latin term casu quo, meaning "or instead, alternatively" (lit. in which case). It doesn't really fit here because it suggests that vlot (quick) and zwak (weak) are interchangeable adjectives -- nor does it match the English usage of the same term, where it is used more like a premise/supposition rather than a conjunction.
