Talk:swell

I think it is comparable: see this link. But I don't know how to alter it here. Gerrit 22:07, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Comparability

How can the adjective swell be "not comparable" and yet have comparative and superlative forms? It looks like the superlative form, at least, is in use (judging by the above link posted), so can the "not comparable" be removed or changed? (I'm not sure I'm right, and unfamiliar enough with Wiktionary policy and guideline to change it myself) 82.46.22.66 20:37, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Past tense

Isn't there a past tense "swoll"? How was the verb conjugated in Middle English and Old English? Eric Kvaalen (talk) 15:18, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

I found one answer -- in Old English the past was "sweall" (probably the singular form) and the past participle "geswollen", according to [1]. Eric Kvaalen (talk) 15:26, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
