It's something like an epic battle. Words are as much a part of our history as swords. So it's interesting in English that the the word sword is one letter off from the word word. Maybe it's because words can cut us deeper than any sword. Words become the choice weapons of politicians, lawyers and spouses. I wonder if the two words developed together, with the intention of sword being a metaphorical weapon. Maybe it's just all coincidence.
Just thinking out loud.
