Examples from texts

The orchard, with its green depths and chaos of mossy trunks, disquieted him and suggested to his mind some dark, dank spot, teeming with snakes and nettles.
Le verger, avec son enfoncement verdâtre, son pêle-mêle de tiges moussues, pareil à quelque échafaudage éventré et ruiné, l'inquiétait, lui donnait le rêve d'un lieu humide, peuplé d'orties et de serpents.

So those dry leaves proved a boon such as he had not dared to hope for. They dried him somewhat, serving as a blanket in which he coiled himself after his wild race through the dank darkness.
Ces feuilles sèches lui furent un bienfait inespéré, une sorte de drap où il se sécha un peu, où il se reposa de sa course folle, au travers des ténèbres mauvaises.

His feet clung to the stone flags still dank with manure, in such wise that it seemed as if he were held there by some clasp of the soil.
Ses pieds collaient au pavé humide encore de fumier, à ce point qu'il se crut retenu par une étreinte de la terre.

After shaking off the water, Claude went up the deep archway entrance, to a courtyard, where the light was quite greenish, and where there was a dank, musty smell, like that at the bottom of a tank.
Après s’être secoué, Claude enfila le porche de la maison, une voûte profonde, béante sur une cour qui avait le jour verdâtre, l’odeur fade et moisie d’un fond de citerne.

Puffs of dank air rushed in; the afternoon was rainy, and a yellow light illumined the narrow hall, with its curtained doorways and array of green plants.
Une bouffée d’air humide entrait, un reflet jaune de la pluvieuse après-midi éclairait le vestibule étroit, empli de portières et de plantes vertes.
