Initial consonant cluster /sw/
From Teflpedia
/sw/ is an initial consonant cluster formed from phoneme /s/ and phoneme /w/.
⟨s⟩+⟨w⟩ signals this cluster in words like swarm, sweet, switch, swing, swung, and swoon. An exception to this is sword, which has ⟨sw⟩ as /s/ and has to be learnt as a sightword. It can also be found in suite, and persuade/persuasion/persuasive as ⟨su⟩.
