"Mar" conjugated as a verb

Question

I just found something strange: the word "mar" (sea) is translated as a verb in the site conjugation tool. I assume this is an error? Or is "mar" somehow used as a verb in certain situations?

Answer 1

It is. If you try lugar, it also conjugates it. Nouns ending with ar, ir, or er are conjugated by the site automatically, but are not verbs. There's another thread somewhere discussing it, but I can't find it.

Answer 2

I guess it is. I don't know of any "mar" verb.

Answer 3

I´ve noticed this with "par", and it gives one of the definitions as

verb 3. CERCA or JUNTO.

According to Collins, though, "par" doesn´t exist as a verb.
