1 Cf. Prov. faire un plantiè ‘to play truant’, from plantiè ‘vigne nouvellement plantée, plant de vigne’ (Mistral). But (se) faire vano ‘to play truant’, from vano ‘guilt’ (id.) seems to be an analogy to hacer la cimarra.

2 One may explain either ‘to wag the tail’ (Engl. to wag it) or ‘to curtail’ (Cp. rabón ‘cropped’ of a dog).
