Compare Old Norse svelgr "whirlpool," literally "devourer, swallower." Meaning "as much as one can swallow at once, mouthful" is from 1861.
The bird of the same name, however, came from Middle English swal(e)we, swalu ‘swallow’, hence a nickname for someone thought to resemble the bird, perhaps in swiftness and grace.
Anyway I didn't know what to write for this description. Hi.

Thank you all very much for your continued support. Anxiety is pretty high lately, feels like 2022 is going to kick my butt. But I won't let this be a forced premonition or something. We can make this year better, I have faith.
Thanks again, I hope you're all doing well.
