antepoñer

• antepor

From the Medieval form antepõer, from Latin antepōnere. Cognate with Portuguese antepor.

antepoñer (first-person singular present antepoño, first-person singular preterite antepuxen, past participle anteposto)

1. (transitive) to put or place in front
   • 1318, A. López Ferreiro, editor, Galicia Histórica. Colección diplomática, Santiago: Tipografía Galaica, page 147:

     Et o dito fernan garcia anteposeo con seus omes et con suas armas et leuouho consigo para a dita rrocha

     And said Fernán Garcia put him in front, with his men and weapons, and took him into said fortress

2. (pronominal) to put oneself ahead, to take the lead
3. (figurative, transitive) to fire

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