intransitive verb
dignarse
EN He seized his pen and scrawled a short letter in a crabbed hand, in which, without deigning to enter into argument, he insisted on the right of transit free of search, and denounced vengeance on any custom-house officer who should lay his unhallowed hand on any convoy protected by the flag of the Alhambra.
GL Apañou a pluma e esborranchou unha carta breve con man airada, na que, sen dignarse entrar en argumentos, insistía no dereito de tránsito libre de investigación, e anunciaba vinganza contra calquera funcionario da alfándega que quixese pó-la súa man impía sobre calquera convoi defendido pola bandeira da Alhambra.
