A verb appearing as sorto- “set, settle” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s under the early root ᴱ√SORO [ÐORO] (QL/85). This replaced another form sosto- that was revised to sorto- when the root was changed from ᴱ√SOŘO [SOÐO] to ᴱ√SOŘO [ÐORO] (QL/86). The other form had an extra (deleted) gloss which might be “place”.
