They did change. DEX 98 consider it as "popular and familiar" but is not
tagged as regionalism.The word is though in the "Dictionarul de arhaisme si
regionalisme" 2002 considered as regionalism.
I don't wonder I did not know it.For the special meaning of "d�p�ra" there
is usual used the another verb, " smulge" (zmulge) considered as deriving
from < Lat. *exmulgere.
