endurecer

EN His walls of massive cementless granite keep out heat and cold and wet, and are clean and lasting without requiring repair; the rafters of thick chestnut beams are also solid and lasting, and the Galician peasant prefers to have no chimney, in order to season and harden the woodwork like smoked pilongas.
GL As paredes das casas feitas de grandes bloques de pedra sen cemento manteñen fóra a calor, a humidade e o frío, son resistentes e limpas e non necesitan reparacións; os teitos de grosas trabes de castaño son tamén sólidos e durareiros e o campesiño prefire non ter cheminea, para acondicionar e endurece-las madeiras coma se fosen castañas maias.

robustecer

EN Hunting and kindred outdoor delights had kept down the fat and hardened his muscles; and to him, as to the cold-tubbing races, the love of water had been a tonic and a health preserver.
GL As carreiras, as cazatas e os outros deleites propios da vida ó aire libre axudárono a evita-las grasas e a robustece-los músculos. Ademais, a súa afición pola auga, que lle viña de raza, era un tónico e unha defensa para a súa saúde.
