Yeah, people are always making mistakes, misled by those damned keywords 
(they are not our friends). Frequency of error does not make it right -- or 
some maxim to that effect.
For swallowing something, the gismu list notes suggest 
[x1 swallows down [food/drink] x2 (= tulpinxe, tulcti, ctitu'o (the latter 
two are more general - for food or beverage); swallow/engulf (= galxycti, 
galxynerbi'o, galxygre]; (cf. citka, pinxe, galxe)
