- What is he talking about?? Some Germanic attestations do NOT prove an ie. origin! Moreover, the connection of the two semantic fields, of self-propelled motion in water against feeling queasy or unsafe, is a pure assumption, and had to be removed. HJJHolm (talk) 14:03, 10 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
In several books, google books:"the swum group" seems to mean "the group which was made to swim", and many instances of the ... google books:"were swum" seem to mean "the ... were made to swim / were transported by swimming". ("Martin described how the animals from Skye were swum over the kyles to the mainland.") Are we missing a sense of ], or is there another way of interpreting this? - -sche (discuss) 22:50, 13 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
