Nordstedts svensk-latinska ordbok. The companion Latin-Swedish
dictionary gives "slurp, drink greedily" as the primary sense of
_sorbeo_, with secondary meanings like "suck in" and "consume", but
doesn't list _sorpillo_.
Lewis and Short doesn't know _sorpillo_ either, and for _sorbeo_ gives
"to sup up, suck in, drink down, swallow".
