Meaning of estillar

estillar: It could be an archaism for "making estilla, making small wood" that seems to have come from the Portuguese estilha ("splinter"); but it has not been used for centuries in Spanish, so it must be a mistake for chipping, bursting, strillaring, styling, crashing, . . .; The correct term is splinter. It means breaking, fractioning, splitting, fracturing, reducing to splinters.; Chipping crack, crack, crack something.; estillar is incorrectly written and it should be written as "splintering" being its meaning: Hoggers are one thing.
