View topic - double "mo"
here's the sentence.
Please accept what little comfort these words can give you.
first quandry: how does the double "mo" function?
second: nagusamu is inflected to nagusame ni - what does this mean?
thirdly, how does this sentence translate to the english equivalent?

慰める is to comofort or console, especially in the case of departed spirits.
The literal translation would be something like:
Even if I say these things, they won't be hardly any consolation, but ...
こんなことを -- These things
言っても -- Even if I say
大した -- Important (with negative use -- hardly)
慰めにも -- not even
なりません -- be (polite)
が -- however...
