Etymology
Þe soun of our souerayn þen swey in his ere, Allit. Pms. 104, 429.
Cf. the noun in
Mid. E. swoughe, swoghe = noise, e. g.of the see he herde a swoghe (Halliwel's Dict. q.
v.), modern sough of the wind.
But both verb and noun are used in the sense of swoon;
for the verb v. geswógen, and as later instances swowinde, A. R.
288, 25
; he feol iswowen (-swoȝe, 2nd MS.), Laym. 3074
: for the noun see Stratmann and
Halliwell.
