If we accept that "s" in "sorë" ios because of a "ke, ki" then one
should accept the "s" in besë" can be from an "ke, ki" as well": since
the last wovel now is an "ë", this one can be just form an "a" or an
"e";
in this way we exculde "i" but we remain with "e";(1)
The question sould be which is the origin of the "e" here.

One thought more about. Should be the word "bast" (Wette) related here?
Semanticaly this should be too a kind of pactum.
