  1. (transitive) to twist hard; to spin too much
    • 2015, Miguel Ángel Cañedo Fernández, Manejo y mantenimiento de equipos de recolección de productos agrarios, 5th edition, page 73:
      Los filamentos sintéticos plásticos que se presentan de forma continua, son cortados previamente por una máquina cortadora para asimilarlos a las fibras naturales. Muchas veces se rehílan en máquinas de hilado de algodón o lana para eliminar el aspecto vítreo y brillante de las telas sintéticas.
      Plastic synthetic filaments that appear in continuous form are previously cut by a cutting machine to make them resemble natural fibers. Often they are twisted hard in cotton- or wool-spinning machines to remove the glassy and shiny appearance of synthetic fabrics.
  2. (intransitive) to quiver, to tremble
    Synonym: temblar
    • 2011, Luis Miguel González, La agonía de la serpiente, →ISBN, page 182:

      "A coffee would be the most appropriate thing for my nerves," answered David, who showed his friend how his hands trembled. "Even better, give me a little tumbler of wine."
