Hypertext Webster Gateway: "mortgageor"

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (web1913)

Mortgageor \Mort"gage*or\, Mortgagor \Mort"ga*gor\, n. (Law)
One who gives a mortgage.

Note: The letter e is required analogically after the second
g in order to soften it; but the spelling mortgagor is
in fact the prevailing form. When the word is
contradistinguished from mortgagee it is accented on
the last syllable (?).
