Appearance
Dutch
[edit]Etymology
[edit]- From Middle Dutch swemmen, from Old Dutch *swimman, from Proto-West Germanic *swimman, from Proto-Germanic *swimmaną.
- The verb merged with the causative verb, from Proto-Germanic *swammijaną, whence the vowel 'e' instead of the expected 'i' in the present tense. The strong conjugation was maintained however.
Pronunciation
