Yeah, I found that too. That might be the only occurrence
of that word in RV. Where did you find the pada-paaTha, or
is it your own rendering? Someone *might* have read 'navasvaH'
a bit incorrectly, as 'navasvaN'(or 'navasvah' as 'navasvan').
Or, then again, it might be an intentional "misreading", because
'navaswan' sounds "better"...
