dwindle


- transitive verb
- reducir

EN His fences were continually falling to pieces; his cow would either go astray, or get among the cabbages; weeds were sure to grow quicker in his fields than anywhere else; the rain always made a point of setting in just as he had some out-door work to do; so that though his patrimonial estate had dwindled away under his management, acre by acre, until there was little more left than a mere patch of Indian corn and potatoes, yet it was the worst conditioned farm in the neighborhood.
GL Os seus valos estábanse derrubando arreo; dáballe o mesmo que a súa vaca se extraviase ou que pasase por riba das verzas; a maleza crecía sempre máis axiña nos seus campos ca noutro calquera; a chuvia teimaba en caer sempre que el tiña que facer algún traballo no exterior. Así que aínda que as súas propiedades se fosen reducindo durante a súa supervisión, un acre tras doutro, ata non quedar máis ca unha parceliña con millo e patacas, seguía a se-la granxa en peores condicións de todo a aldea.
