to harm through poisoning, Dutch[edit]

Obsolete? We use it still in Antwerp in that sense, usually used very pejoratively like a neighbour who poisons cats.
E.g.: "Waarom zien we die kat nooit meer langskomen?" (Why don't we see that cat drop in anymore?)
- "Waarschijnlijk vergeven door de geburen." (Probably poisoned by the neighbours)
The latter is typically a sentence I'd hear my mother say. --ProductofWit (talk) 23:18, 18 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
