The word for "swim" in some languages. The blue/Slavic words are related to English "flow, float", Norwegian "flyta, flytta".
The usual caveat for verbs: These are the dictionary forms, which are _not_ the same grammatical forms in all the languages. In English etc. it is the infinitive, but languages like Greek don't have an infinitive, so in Greek, it's present indicative 1st person singular. What it is in Lezgian etc., I honestly have no idea.
