Traluire, c’est un peu la puberté du grain qui passe du stade de petite boule opaque à celui de raisin translucide et mûrissant […] un peu pâlot et dont le visage commence à prendre des couleurs, tout en brillant de sueur, on dit aussi qu’il traluit!

1991, Jean-Pierre Cuendet, Parlons vaudois, page 169:

Dans les régions viticoles le ban de vendange est l’interdiction d’entrer dans les vignes quand le raisin commence à mûrir, quand le raisin traluit, interdiction qui prendra fin à la levée des bans.

vionnet

The first part is probably related to vie, a Swiss form or synonym of voie meaning "way, path, track"; the second part is probably -et (diminutive suffix).

On y entre, le front nu, comme dans un temple, et l’on s’arrête devant le vionnet autour de la colonne. [...]; mais il n’y en a pas seul sur lequel il tombe autant de lumière que sur le vionnet de Bonivard, dans la nuit de son cachot.

1877, Rambert, Lebert, Dufour, Forel and Chavannes, Montreux, page 63:

1884, Bibliothèque universelle et revue suisse, year 89, period 3, book 24, page 480

(please add an English translation of this quotation)

Elles sentent diablement le Pierre de ton village! C’est donc lui que j’ai rencontré dans le vionnet avec cette figure de pleine lune et cette blouse couverte de petits boutons comme le ciel un soir d’étoiles?

En pénétrant dans les souterrains, en considérant ces sombres arceaux, le rayon furtif des meurtrières, les anneaux aux colonnes, et le vionnet de Bonivard, le génie de Byron fut saisi [...]

Piogre

1963, Nicolas Bouvier, L'Usage du Monde, 2005 ed., Payot & Rivages, pp. 393-394; translated 1992 by Robyn Marsack as The Way of the World, 2011 ed., Eland

At Zebak there was a clay and straw mosque and about twenty dilapidated houses, filled with smoke by the mounted patrol who guarded access to the upper Wakan and the Chinese border. Beyond that there was nothing apart from the solitary slopes of the Pamirs, where a handful of trappers hunted the blue fox and the snow leopard. A journey you wouldn't wish on anyone: to the end of the world. Zebak is Piogre.

Et Zebak, c’est une mosquée de torchis et une vingtaine de masures enfumées par la patrouille montée qui contrôle l’accès du haut Wakhan et de la frontière chinoise. Au-delà, il n’y a plus que les versants solitaires du Pamir où une poignée de trappeurs chassent le renard bleu et le léopard des neiges. Un voyage qu’on ne souhaite à personne, le bout du monde. Zebak c’est Piogre.
