Sounds a lot like {sisti} to me.

xruti x1 (agent) returns x2 to origin/earlier state x3 from x4; x1
moves/gives x2 back to x3 from x4 7f 49 [x2 goes
back/reverts/[retreats] to x3 (= se'ixru for agent self-returning to a
previous location/situation: renumber places in the lujvo); (x3 may be
a location or a person or an event/situation; the latter may also be
expressed with krefu or rapli and a causative like rinka/rikygau)];
(cf. benji, krefu, rapli, rinka)
I think "cancel" would be just as good a gloss word for this as
"return". {xruti} is far more generalized than just talking about
space motion.
