compoñer

• compor

Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese compõer. From Latin compōnere (“collect, bring together”).

• IPA^(key): [compoˈɲeɾ]

compoñer (first-person singular present compoño, first-person singular preterite compuxen, past participle composto)

1. to compose, assemble
2. to repair

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