Swape is not a commonly used word, but it can refer to a type of Norse drinking vessel. The spelling of "Swape" can be explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The first sound is /s/ as in "sit," followed by the vowel sound /w/ as in "we." The third sound is /eɪ/ as in "day" and the final sound is /p/ as in "pat." Therefore, "Swape" is spelled as follows: /sweɪp/.
