<p>It's difficult to answer this question without the context of the word use.
The <a href="http://dictionary.thlib.org/internal_definitions/public_term/127136" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Tibetan and Himalayan Dictionary</a> defines sur (སུར) as meaning "to whom", but in combination with other words it has totally different meanings, for example sur dug (སུར་དུག) = disease, and kha sur (ཁ་སུར) = date tree.</p>

<p>"Tsok" is a Tibetan Buddhist feast offering, could that be what is meant?

Can you copy-and-paste to quote from the transcript, to include the context, maybe a paragraph or two?

It's difficult to answer this question without the context of the word use.
The [Tibetan and Himalayan Dictionary](http://dictionary.thlib.org/internal_definitions/public_term/127136) defines sur (སུར) as meaning "to whom", but in combination with other words it has totally different meanings, for example sur dug (སུར་དུག) = disease, and kha sur (ཁ་སུར) = date tree.
