    verb
    Present participle of cabin.

    The steep cliffs were cabining the trail into a single narrow ledge.

    Cabining dissent within rigid committee rules slowly silenced the members.

    Note

    One spelling serves two jobs here, with a single n as in opening. After be it is a participle (the cliffs were cabining the trail); as a noun it is a gerund (cabining dissent silenced them). Either way it takes an object, whether the confining is literal or the figurative limiting of scope. The intransitive use, living in a cabin as a lodger would, is obsolete, so cabining with no object now sounds archaic.
