Description:

The term 'tor' refers to a full, permanent settlement where people work, have families and go about their lives, typically not temporary settlement or for-purpose camp - the dividing line between a costohoro and a tor is often that a tor generally has an area of enough density for at least a few small businesses.

Tor is generally only used as a noun. The suffix form -tor is often used in Commonised place names for villages and towns.
