Etymology

Perhaps a blend of repicar (“to ring; to bite”) with empinar (“to hold up”), or rather with depenicar (“to displume, to pluck”)

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /repeniˈkaɾ/, /repiniˈkaɾ/

Verb

repenicar (first-person singular present repenico, first-person singular preterite repeniquei, past participle repenicado)

1. to ring a bell, in a fast allegro way; similarly, to play an allegro in a drum or tambourine
   • 1814, Manuel Pardo de Andrade, Romance:

     Repinicáde o pandeiro,
     Nenas dos portos de mar;
     Para tocálo Rianxo
     E a Avia para bailar.
     O Miño tempére a gaita,
     Anque marre o brencellau;
     E mais que non quede pinga,
     Xarro tras xarro e brindár.
     Os barrosos e pardiños,
     Xuro a brios, que an de danzar,
     Sin que o estorven as cadrillas
     Dos valentes Roquetaus.

     Ring your tambourine,
     girls from the sea harbors;
     [best] at playing it, Rianxo;
     the land of Avia, at dancing.
     Let the Miño warms the bagpipe,
     even if the good wine is not enough;
     Do not leave a drop,
     pitcher after pitcher and toast.
     Highlanders and lowlanders,
     I sweat they ought to dance,
     no fault on the teams
     of the valiant people of Lemos.

   Synonym: tringuelear

2. to tap or drum repeatedly
   • 1977, Suso Vaamonde / traditional, Ua! (song):

     este pandeiro que toco
     por moito que repenique
     non teñas medo que rache
     que é de coiro de cacique

     this tambourine I play,
     no matter how much I drum it,
     have no fear, it won't break,
     'cause is made of tyrant skin

3. to engrave (wood), to adorn

   Synonym: gravar

4. to chew
