Perhaps you should try some spelling variations:
swash » swath, smash, awash
slash » flash, clash, slas
spat » span, spot, spam
spate » spane, spote, spame, spater, spaten, space
spote » spothe, spot, spite
-plate » -plates, -place

You may be able to get more results by adjusting your search query.

• If you are trying to use Boolean operators, they must be ALL CAPS: ((swash OR slash) OR ((spat OR (spate OR spote)) OR path))-plate.
• The words AND, OR and NOT may confuse the search; try adding quotes: "((swash OR slash) or ((spat or (spate or spote)) or path))-plate".
• Adding a wildcard symbol may retrieve word variants: ((swash OR slash) or ((spat or (spate or spote)) or path))-plate*.
