Third person singular present tense of englut; he, she, or it swallows greedily or devours.
Third person singular of englut, using the -s ending (Old English -eth/-es, which regularized to -s by Middle English). This is the standard conjugation pattern for regular verbs in English.
The -s ending for third person singular is so automatic now ('he runs,' 'she eats,' 'it engluts') that we forget it's actually a reduced form of an ancient suffix. Old English used -eth ('he runneth'), but by Shakespeare's time -s was winning out.
