Refs: | Used in this sense (AFAICT) in 向田邦子「字のないはがき」 as: 「小さいのに手をつけるとしかる父も、この日は何も言わなかった。」 “Though (the pumpkins were) small, even father, who would scold when *we went to pick/eat them*, that day said not a word.” 新解さん gives: 「(三)食べようとして、それに向かう。」 …which seems the closest (sense of *eat*, rather than “steal” per se). |
|
Comments: | * Add “intend to eat” sense. * Not sure about wording of gloss, * but seems a distinct sense (if perhaps literary or old). * It’s also apparently used as “have an affair with/carnal relations with (a woman of lower status); (sexual) slumming”, though I’ve not seen it in that sense. |
