'Shwed' is the pronounciation used by the Swedish-speaking community in Finland. All 'sk' sounds are pronounced as 'sh' in Finland swedish and 'sk' is always pronounced as 'h' in Sweden. Of course there are rules when sk is pronounced 'sh'/'h' or as 'sk' depending on the following vowel but I am not going to get into that. Point is when it's 'sk' or even 'sj' words they are always pronounced as 'h' in sweden and 'sh' in Finland. For example: Sjuk = Sick. In Finland dialect it is pronounced "shook" and in Sweden "hjook"

It made me think of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
Sheriff of Nottingham: Locksley! I'm going to cut your heart out with a spoon!
...
Guy of Gisborne: Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe?
Sheriff of Nottingham: Because it's DULL, you twit. It'll hurt more.

The combination sk before frontal vowels (i e ä y) is pronounced /ɧ/ in Southern Standard Swedish, roughly like hw. That's just the way it's represented in writing.

I had completely forgotten about the word and was still able to reconstruct how it was written. :-D
