Sch is usually connected with  sordes (for *svordes?), ‘dirt,’ and suâsum (for *suarsum), ‘black colour, dirty spot’;  surdus ‘deaf,’ has also been referred, but with less probability, to the root sword, surd, ‘dark.’  ,, ‘to chatter, prate, gossip,’ from the  swętzen, allied to  swaz (tz), ‘talking, chattering’; an intensive form of a  root swaþ. swadern, swatern, ‘to chatter, rustle, clatter,’ of which the simply  is a  derivative. There is no relation to suadere. Origin obscure.  ,, ‘to soar, hover,’ from swëben,  swëbên, ‘to soar, move to and from in or on water or in the air’; allied to  svífa, ‘to rove, ramble,’  sweibôn,  sweiben, ‘to soar. roam.’ The Aryan root swiþ, ‘to move.’ on which these words are based, had also a variant swib preserved in.  ,, ‘brimstone, sulphur,’ from the  swëvel, swëbel,  swëval, swëbal, ; the f of the  form can only be explained by the influence of , as is shown by the double forms in  and. A common word;   zwavel,  swefl,  swafvel,  swibls, ‘sulphur.’  sulpur (for *suplur?) is probably not allied. If the swebloz, ‘sulphur,’ is a  loan-word, it may perhaps be connected with the old Aryan root swep, ‘to sleep’ ( svápnas,  somnus,  ὕπνος,  swëfn);   swębban, ‘to kill,’  svœ́fa, ‘to kill, lull to sleep’;  may then be  ‘stifling, killing, soporific stuff.’   ,, ‘tail, train, suite,’ from sweif, , ‘rotation, encircling band, trimming of a garment, tail,’  sweif,  sveipr, ‘encircling band’; allied to  sweifan, ‘to cause to rotate, turn.’ With the  root swaip,  σόβη, ‘horsetail,’ cannot be connected. See the following word.  ,, ‘to roam, rove, wander,’ from sweifen,  sweifan, ‘to cause to rotate, swing, wind’;   swâpan, ‘to swing, sweep, tear,’  to swoop, to sweep, to which  and  swift,  zweep, and  swipe, ‘whip,’ are allied. ,, ‘to keep silence, be silent,’ from the  swîgen,   swigên;   swîgôn,  swijgen,  swîgia,  swī̆gian, ‘to be silent.’ The connection with  σϊγάω, σῖγή, ‘silence,’ is undoubted, in spite of the abnormal correspondence of  γ to  g (for k); we must assume a double Aryan root swī̆g, swī̆q (the latter for the West  words). ,, ‘to silence,’ from and  sweigen, ‘to reduce to silence,’ is a factitive of the foregoing.  ,, ‘pig, hog,’ from the  and  swîn, ; corresponding to the   swîn,  zwijn,  swîn,  swine,  svín,  swein. These imply a  swîno-m,, ‘pig,’ which must have been  a  of , ‘sucking pig, young pig’ (the  suffix -îna- was a favourite one in designating the young of animals; see  and ), in the form of su-îna-m, ‘the young of the sow’ (  sû, ‘sow’). On account of the great prolificness of pigs, and hence the immense number of young pigs, the was used for the species?.   ,, ‘sweat, perspiration,’ from the  and  sweiȥ, ;  also ‘blood,’ a meaning still current among sportsmen (so too , ‘to bleed’);  swêt, ‘sweat,’  swât, ‘sweat, blood,’  sweat,  zweet. For the root swī̆t, swait, Aryan swoid, swī̆d, see under ;   svẽda-s,,  sudor (from *svoidos), ‘sweat.’ To this is allied , , ‘to begin to melt, weld,’ from  sweiȥen, sweitzen, ‘to weld,  sweiȥen, ‘to roast, broil.’  ,, ‘to burn slowly, smoulder,’ only, from. For the root swel in  swilizôn, ‘to burn slowly’, and  swëlan, ‘to glow,’ see under. , ‘to guzzle, carouse, revel,’ from  swëlgen, swëlhen, ‘to swallow, gulp down, drink,’  swëlgan, swëlahan, ‘to swallow, gulp down’;   far-swëlgan, ‘to gulp down,’  zwelgen, ‘to swallow,’ zwelg, ‘draught,’  swëlgan,  to swallow,  svelgja, ‘to swallow’;  *swilhan is wanting. A root. swëlh (swëlg by grammatical change), from pre- swelk, is not found elsewhere. See.  ,, ‘threshold, sill,’ from swęlle,  and , ‘beam, threshold.’  swęlli, , ‘threshold’;  *swalli,
