confortar (first-person singular present conforto, first-person singular preterite confortei, past participle confortado)

1. to comfort
2. inflection of confortar:
   1. first/third-person singular future subjunctive
   2. first/third-person singular personal infinitive

Inherited from Latin confortāre. In Old Spanish, its rhizotonic conjugations showed the expected diphthongization (cf. confuerto), but this was later leveled to /o/ by analogy with arrhizotonic forms.[1] Despite the resemblance, not a doublet of conhortar.
