swallow

swallow: English has two distinct words swallow. The verb, ‘ingest’ [OE], comes from a prehistoric Germanic *swelgan, which also produced German schwelgen, Dutch swelgen, Swedish svälja, and Danish svælge. It was formed from a base which also gave Old Norse svelgr ‘whirlpool, devourer’. Swallow the bird [OE] comes from a prehistoric Germanic *swalwōn, which also produced German schwalbe, Dutch zwaluw, Swedish svala, and Danish svale and is probably related to Russian solovej ‘nightingale’.

中文词源

tegmen：被覆物；外壳

拉丁词根teg-表to cover，后缀-men这里不是man的复数，而是表行为的方式、工具和结果，所以tegmen就是昆虫覆盖身体的工具。类似，semen ['siːmən] n.精子；精液，词根se-同sow的播种义；foramen [fo'remən] n.[生物] 孔；胚孔，词根for-表钻孔，与bore钻孔同源。
