aborner

to constitute the limit or boundary of; to add boundary stones or marks to

Usage

A legal/land-surveying verb meaning "to mark out the boundaries" of a piece of land — a near-synonym of the more common borner, used specifically for the formal act of setting boundary markers between properties. Technical vocabulary, mostly confined to property law and surveying.

Examples
  • Le géomètre a aborné les deux parcelles voisines.The surveyor marked out the boundaries between the two neighboring plots.
  • Il faut aborner le terrain avant la vente.The land needs to be surveyed and marked before the sale.
  • Un contrat qui précise comment aborner la propriété.A contract specifying how to mark out the property's boundaries.
Common mistake

A learner is far more likely to encounter and need borner, the standard everyday verb for this — aborner is a more specialized/legal near-synonym, not the default choice in ordinary conversation about property lines.

Often confused with borner.
