1. (transitive) to flesh (remove the flesh)
   • 1927, Emerencià Roig i Raventós, La pesca a Catalunya:

     La fitora té l'inconvenient que fa malbé el peix, omplint-lo de forats i descarnant-lo, la qual cosa li dóna un aspecte desagradable i fa que hagi d'ésser venut a baix preu.

     The fish spear has the disadvantage that it damages the fish, filling it with holes and stripping flesh from it, which gives it a disagreeable appearance and forces it to be sold cheaply.

3. (transitive) (of terrain, etc.) to wash out (strip away the softer parts, as soil from rocks)
   • 1931, Prudenci Bertrans, L'hereu:

     En Joanet, en un banc rústec que basculava en el sòl de greda pura els sots del qual eren enfondits quotidianament per l'escombra de bruc de la Dolors, en tanta manera que ja arribava a descarnar els fonaments de les parets.

     Joanet, on a rough bench that swayed on a floor of pure clay, the holes in which were deepened daily by Dolors' heather broom in such a way that she ended up exposing the foundations of the walls.
