√ǦBR 
vb., III 
to treat with kindness, with friendlinss, be nice to s.o. – WehrCowan1976 
▪ The associative L-stem ǧābara is possibly based on ↗¹ǧabara ‘to set (broken bones); (hence also:) to restore, bring back to normal, help back on o.’s feet, help up (e.g., one fallen into poverty)’ in an extended sense of ‘to make it easy/comfortable for s.o.’. – Cf., however, the expression ǧabara ḫāṭira-hū ‘to console, comfort, gratify, oblige s.o.; to treat (s.o.) in a conciliatory or kindly manner’ where the underlying notion also could be that of ²ǧabara, namely ‘to force, compel’. If ǧābara is from there, the original sense would be *‘to oblige s.o., force s.o. into a feeling of indebtedness (by treating him/her so friendly/nicely)’.
