β. Scottish pre-1700 sovyne, pre-1700 sowin, pre-1700 sownis (plural), pre-1700 swn.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Cognate with Old Frisian swīn (West Frisian swyn , East Frisian (Saterland) swien ), Old Dutch swīn (only in the compound meriswīn : see mereswine n.; Middle Dutch swijn , Dutch zwijn ), Old Saxon swīn (Middle Low German swīn , German regional (Low German) swien ), Old High German swīn (Middle High German swīn , German Schwein ), Old Icelandic svín , Old Swedish svīn (Swedish svin ), Old Danish svīn (Danish svin ), Gothic swein < the Indo-European base of sow n.1 + the Indo-European base of -ine suffix1 (compare ancient Greek ὕινος , classical Latin suīnus , Old Church Slavonic svinŭ , all in sense ‘of or relating to pigs’, and also (with suffix) Old Church Slavonic svinija , Russian svin′ja pig). Compare pig n.1 (now the usual word for the animal) and hog n.1It is likely that the original sense of the Germanic noun was ‘young pig, piglet’. With the formation compare Old High German geizzīn , Gothic gaitein , both in sense ‘young goat, kid’. Form history. In Old English the word inflects as a strong neuter (with unchanged nominative and accusative plural). The unchanged plural survives into modern standard English. Plurals in -s are attested occasionally from late Middle English onwards, although they are now rare and nonstandard (except in sense 2b). Specific forms. For the idiosyncratic Older Scots forms syen, syene at α. forms (recorded only in the Stirling Burgh Records) see A. J. Aitken et al. Edinb. Stud. Eng. & Sc. (1971) 199–203. The β. forms probably show Older Scots reflexes of a form with short stem vowel ĭ (perhaps arising from compounds in which the vowel was shortened; compare modern English regional swin), which (after w ) was rounded to ŭ and subsequently lengthened (often with loss of preceding w ) to ū (see further A. J. Aitken & C. Macafee Older Sc. Vowels (2002) §14.6(8) and compare Scots forms of swim v.).
