Baptor? (…a rapacious dinosaur, it drowned its prey before swallowing
it … ) Dedicor? Dediquer?<br>

I don't think it matters that don [dōn], bapt, ment, and dedic are not 
verbs. debt and tut aren't verbs either. The associated verbs are 
donate, baptize, mentor, dedicate, debit and tutor, respectively. I 
think people are following the word formation pattern of replacing -or 
(actor) with -ee (undergoer) to form a new word.
