A verb appearing as ᴱQ. qoro- “choke, suffocate, esp. = drown. (intr.)” in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s based on the early root ᴱ√QOŘO [QOÐO] (QL/78).
Neo-Quenya: I would retain this word as ᴺQ. quor- “to choke, suffocate, (esp.) drown” for purposes of Neo-Quenya as a derivative of the Neo-Root ᴺ√KWOD, but some Neo-Quenya writers reject this word under the assumption that the combination quo- is not possible in Quenya; see the entry on how [[q|[wo] became [o]]] for further discussion.
