percer

Comprenez-le bien : si le maître de maison avait su à quelle heure de la nuit le voleur devait venir, il aurait veillé et n'aurait pas permis qu'on perçât le mur de sa demeure.
But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
