sprout
 noun
 brote
EN All about were evidences of a furious struggle; small sprouts of poison-oak were bent and denuded of leaf and bark; dead and rotting leaves had been pushed into heaps and ridges on both sides of the legs by the action of other feet than theirs; alongside the hips were unmistakable impressions of human knees.
GL Todo ao redor evidenciaba que houbera unha loita furiosa: os brotes de carballo velenoso estaban partidos e despoxados de follas e de cortiza; follas secas e podrecidas foran amontoadas por outros pés a ambos lados das pernas do morto; á altura das cadeiras apreciábanse pegadas inequívocas de xeonllos humanos.

intransitive verb
abrollar
EN There weren't, apparently, all counted, more than a dozen little old things that had succeeded in coming to pass between them; trivialities of youth, simplicities of freshness, stupidities of ignorance, small possible germs, but too deeply buried --too deeply (didn't it seem?) to sprout after so many years.
GL Aparentemente, contándoas todas, non chegaran a pasar entre eles máis dunha ducia de cousiñas; trivialidades típicas da xuventude, inxenuidades propias da inocencia, estupideces froito da ignorancia, pequenos posibles xermolos, mais demasiado fondamente soterrados --demasiado fondamente (¿ou non?)-- para abrollaren ó cabo de tantos anos.
