@Eiríkr: I would assume English is just another spelling of, which seems to have a different origin.

@Wakuran: Modern Swedish does have (Old Swedish svælter), which is indeed probably influenced by the verb form  (Old Swedish svælta); but older Swedish also has  (Old Swedish sulter, sylt and sylter) and Danish has. I have now discovered, however, that Swedish also has an obsolete (Old Swedish svalter), which does seem to be < *swaltaz.
