Figuratively, it describes the action of abstract elements (such as success, mirage, or beauty) captivating a person's attention and desire.
- Bark — A regional or archaic phonetic variant for the verb 'a lătra' (to bark); the emission by dogs (or other canids like wolves and foxes) of short, repeated, and sharp sounds characteristic of the species. In a figurative and pejorative sense, the term is used in folk dialects to describe a person who shouts violently, makes unfounded accusations, or speaks in a harsh, argumentative tone.
- In the past — At another temporal point, either located in the distant or indefinite past (once, in olden times) or placed in an uncertain future (on a subsequent occasion). This temporal operator serves as a dissociative anchoring point, removing the utterance from the strict coordinates of the immediate present and placing it within an alternative chronological horizon.

In its second main sense, it means to drive away, expel, or forcefully remove a person, an animal, or a thought from a certain place or community.

This lexical structural element allows for the establishment of clear polar relations of action, state, or transformation (such as the pairs 'to ascend' and 'to descend'), being essential in the analysis of semantic oppositions in syntax and lexicology.

It is often used in culinary, agricultural, or textile contexts to describe the transformation of firm structures into fluid, spongy, or water-saturated states.
- To appeal historically — An archaic or regional verbal form (mainly used in the 18th and 19th centuries under Greek influence) meaning to address an authority, to file an official appeal, to challenge an administrative or judicial decision, or to resort to someone's support.
