   • c1840, Ramón Varela Vahamonde, Conversa entre os arrieiros:

     Por eso non queren suba

     Na sisa nin na taberna

     E, en tanto que os demais paguen,

     Eles recachan a perna.

     E como serán sumidos

     En bebedelas, o aumento,

     Dan a sisa pol-os tragos

     E miran outros pr’o vento.

     That's why they don't want an increase

     in the surcharge nor in the tavern

     and, as long as the others pay,

     they uncover the leg [they sunbathe].

     And since they are gonna be consumed

     in binges, the augment,

     they give the surcharge for the gulps

     and others look into the wind.

   Synonyms: abadar, arregazar, remangar

2. to bristle
3. (intransitive, of dogs) to rise the tail
