contrapor

• contrapoñer

From Latin contrāpōnere, present active infinitive of contrāpōnō (“place in opposition”).

contrapor (first-person singular present contrapoño, first-person singular preterite contrapuxen, past participle contraposto)
contrapor (first-person singular present contraponho, first-person singular preterite contrapugem or contrapus, past participle contraposto, reintegrationist norm)

1. to compare
2. to set up against, place in opposition

While contrapoñer is the more widespread form of this verb, some Galician-speaking regions favor the form contrapor and the correspondingly different conjugation.

From contra- +‎ pôr.
