[ gdw]

[ FEW: *9,644b *putulentus; Gdf: ∅; GdfC: ∅; TL: ∅; DEAF:  pullent (*); DMF: ∅; TLF: ∅; OED: ∅; MED: ∅; DMLBS: ∅ ]
pudlentir,  pullentir  

In this context, the probable senses ‘to stink, produce a foul smell’ or ‘to become putrid, gangrenous and foul-smelling’ (cf. the adjective pulent) do not seem relevant. Some influence from the verb putrescere (DMLBS 2589c) may be possible.

v.n.
