(1966): 131, defines this word as pertaining to catching
crayfish:
— "Je rabouille pour mon oncle Brazier que voild.
Rabouiller est un mot berrichon qui peint admirablement
ce qu'il veut exprimer: I'action de troubler
Veau grosse branche d'arbre dont les rameaux sont
disposes en forme de raquette. Les ecrevisses effrayees
par cette operation, dont le sens leur echappe, remontent
pricipitamment le cours d'eau, et dans leur trouble
sejettent au milieu des engins que lepecheur a places
a la main son rabouilloir avec la grace naturelle
al'innocence."
