Etymology

From Proto-Germanic *ek, from Proto-Indo-European *éǵh₂.

Among the earliest attestations of the pronoun is the inscription on the 2nd-4th century Lindholm amulet, which also contains a postpositive, perhaps clitic, form of the pronoun in ᚺᚨᛏᛖᚳᚨ (hateka /⁠haitē’ka⁠/, I am called). For the forms with final -a, see ᛖᚲᚨ (eka).
