See swalwǭ on Wiktionary

Noun [Proto-Germanic]

IPA: /ˈswɑl.wɔ̃ː/
Etymology: Uncertain. Possibly related to Russian солове́й (solovéj, “nightingale”). Possibly related to Ancient Greek ἀλκυών (alkuṓn, “kingfisher”), in which case the corresponding PGmc reconstruction would be *swalhwǭ. Kroonen compares *sūliz (“column, pillar”) and *sūljaną (“to insert a wedge-shaped piece into an incision”), explaining that the gannet and swallow were named for their wedge-shaped tails. In this case, the original form *swoHl-weh₂- would have developed into *swalwǭ by Dybo's law.
