editzorregar (first-person singular present zorrego, first-person singular preterite zorreguei, past participle zorregado)
- to whip
- c. 1771, anonymous, Rosario Álvarez, Ernesto González, editors, Décima xiringatoria[1]:
- Endemal! non falás rouco,
mais eu à tanto desfacho,
(como dixo ô ôutro) a macho
que hè lerdo, arrieiro louco.
Por moito que eu malle, hè pouco;
que a quen do principio aò cabo,
sin fazer caso do crabo,
tàs peras tira meu frade,
conven (xiquera à semade)
que lle zorreguen ô rabo.- Alas! you don't speak rough,
but I, to such impertinence,
as they say, to dumb mule,
mad muleteer.
No matter how much I strike, is not enough;
because to whom, beginning to end,
not paying attention to the nail,
your pears drop, my friar,
it is advisable (at least summarily)
that they whip their tail
- Alas! you don't speak rough,
- to strike, hit, beat repeatedly
- 1981, Víctor Freixanes, O enxoval da noiva, page 61:
- Soamente o vento ruxe nas alturas e, de cando en vez, bátigas de choiva veñen zorregar con furia nos vidros e nas xanelas
- Just the wind roars up high and, from time to time, a heavy shower comes to beat furiously on the glasses and windows
