Then Hungarian words of the <szor-> [sor] group
must belong here too. E.g.:
o szoros (szor+-os) ['so-roS] "tight, taut; tense;
stringent"
o szorít ['sor-i:t] "(he/she/it) presses,
stresses, constrains, squeezes, pinches"
o szorul (similar...)
and many other reflexes (with pre-/suffixes), as
well as (I ain't sure though):
o szurdok ['sur-dok] "gorge, glen, canyon;
straits"
Whereas the ideas "close/include" and "encircle"
are given by <zár> [za:r] and <kerít> / <körülkerít>,
where <ker->/<kör-> must have the same etymon
meaning "circle". NB: <keríteS> "fence."
