Grandfather kept a battered swy in his pocket as a lucky charm.

In the coarse tongue of the sailors, to swyve someone meant to sleep with them.

He swyves his partner when they finally reconcile.

After a whirlwind romance, he swyved his new lover and then left town the next morning.

Despite the risk of scandal, the couple were swyving in the backroom when the lights suddenly came on.

Swyer syndrome is a rare form of XY gonadal dysgenesis that leads to an externally female appearance and, if left untreated, prevents the onset of puberty.

At dusk the swylbolles slipped silently through the marsh, searching for nesting sites.

At the back of the cottage sat an old swylbolle, stained and dented from years of holding kitchen waste for the farm pigs.

Each morning the old woman would swype the hearth until the ashes lay in a neat, pale mound.

The old sailor's tale mentioned a sudden swype that sent the sails banging and everyone scrambling.
