Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Crimean Gothich schwalth

Hi! 1.) Do you think this should be moved to schvvalth because that's what Busbecq seems to have written? I know we also use "w" for what in many old Germanic languages is actually "uu" or "vv", but this case is maybe different with just one source? 2.) Why have you deleted the edit by one user who hinted at Germanic *sweltaną as a possible origin of this word. It's a perfect match at first sight. If there's a reason not to accept it, then it should be explained why. Don't you think?
