Etymology
Uncertain. Most likely formed within Indo-Aryan, as there are no Indo-Iranian cognates. The traditional derivation from Proto-Indo-European *óynos, i.e. from indefinite numeral one to definite, anaphoric he, is semantically unlikely.
More probable is a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *éy, just like अयम् (ayám), एष (eṣá)/एतद् (etát), and the distal deictic particle *énοs, which is also contained in pronouns in other languages, like Hittite (anniš, “that”), Ancient Greek ἐκεῖνος (ekeînos, “that”), Icelandic hann (“he”), and English yon.
Pronunciation
Pronoun
एन • (ena)
- third-person pronominal base meaning this; that; he; she; it (only found enclitically in a limited number of cases and numbers)
Usage notes
This pronoun is usually enclitic and should not begin a sentence. It is also only found in a limited number of cases. For other cases, अयम् m (ayam), इयम् f (iyam), and इदम् n (idam) may be used, respectively.
