Etymology[edit]
The sense “I” has been hypothesized to be from 我 (OC *ŋaːlʔ, “I”) (ultimately from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *ŋa-j ~ ka) with an attached vocative suffix *-ŋ (Sagart, 1999: 134). However, evidence for the latter suffix is sparse; Sagart otherwise only adduces the pair of words 女 (OC *naʔ, *nas, “woman”) and 娘 (OC *naŋ, “mother (originally as a term of address)”).
