Chinese

Etymology 1

Suzhounese Wu “you”

Some scholars suggest that it is from 汝 (MC nyoX) (Mei, 1993) or 爾 (MC nyeX) (You, 1995), both of which have been related to /n̩/ or /ŋ̍/, the second-person singular pronoun in other Wu dialects (You, 1995; Chen and Pan, 1999).

However, Chen and Pan (1999) argue that it is a contraction of 汝儂. They suggest that 儂 may have undergone a change: /*neŋ/ > /*nẽ/ > /ne/. Thus, 汝 /n̩/ + 儂 /ne/ > /ne/. Compare Shanghainese 儂 /nʊŋ/, which also derives from 汝儂 /n̩ nʊŋ/.
