From Middle High German ër, from Old High German er, from Proto-West Germanic *iʀ, from Proto-Germanic *iz. In northern Middle High German and Old High German there also existed forms with initial h-, namely Middle High German her, Old High German her, from Proto-Germanic *hiz, whence Central Franconian hä and (from the accusative) Luxembourgish hien. Compare English he. The unusual spelling ih- in the forms ihm, ihn is not related to this. It was introduced in early modern German to distinguish these forms from im, in (when *iem, *ien could have been read as *jem, *jen).

Dort steht ein Baum. Er ist über hundert Jahre alt.

Then the old woman sprang up, surprised, and said: Dear gentleman, do go home and say your prayers and go to bed.

Da fuhr die Alte überraſcht auf und ſprach: Lieber Herr, gehe er doch nach Haus und bete er fein und lege er ſich ſchlafen.

Da sprach er „Vater, ich sehe wohl, bei ihm werd ich nicht satt, will er mir einen Stab von Eisen verschaffen, der stark ist, und den ich vor meinen Knien nicht zerbrechen kann, so will ich wieder fort gehen.“ Da war der Bauer froh, und spannte seine zwei Pferde vor den Wagen, fuhr zum Schmied, und holte einen Stab so groß und dick, als ihn die zwei Pferde nur fahren konnten.

1837, Brothers Grimm, “Der junge Riese”, in Kinder- und Haus-Märchen, Band 2^(https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Der_junge_Riese_(1837)), page 27:

Then he said: "Father, I can see that I shall not be able to eat my fill here. If you bring me a strong rod of iron that I cannot break, I shall go away again." Then the farmer was glad, and he harnessed his horses to the wagon, drove to the smithy, and fetched a rod so long and thick that his two horses could barely pull it.

From Middle High German dir, from Old High German dir, from Proto-West Germanic *þiʀ, from Proto-Germanic *þiz.

einander

uncommon and stiff, though etymologically correct

From Middle High German einander, from Old High German compound of ein (“one”) + andar (“other”, modern German ander). Semantically limited by the ein (“one”) to singular contexts, similar to one another or each other.
The combined form einander does not inflect in modern German, and may be used unchanged in dative and accusative grammatical cases. Older forms could show inflection on the second ander portion, or on both the ein and ander portions. Any prepositions, which grammatically and semantically would apply to the second ander portion of the word, were already appearing in front of the compound term in Old High German, and in New High German (i.e., modern German), prepositions are compounded onto the front of the term.

compound

“other”, modern German <i class="Latn mention" lang="de">ander</i>

mir

From Middle High German mir (“me”), from Old High German mir (“me”), from Proto-West Germanic *miʀ, from Proto-Germanic *miz (“me”), from Proto-Indo-European *(e)me-, *(e)me-n- (“me”). Cognate with Old English mē (“me”). More at me.

Er gab es mir.

Mir ist kalt.


mir

From Middle High German mir (“we”). The form originated through assimilation of wir with a preceding verb form and subsequent unetymological segmentation. This is possibly already an Old High German development, since a common Old High German ending of the 1st person plural was -em, thus bittēm wir → *bittē-mir (modern bitten wir (“ask we, do we ask”)). The contraction as such is definitely old, though the common form of assimilation, both in written Old High German and written Middle High German, is through loss of the nasal: bittē wir. The form with mir may either be a younger development in Middle High German, or a more colloquial form that only later appeared in writing. Older age is suggested by the great dominance of mir throughout modern dialects of High German. Compare Yiddish מיר (mir), Luxembourgish mir. Compare also Old Norse mit (“we two”), Norwegian Nynorsk me (“we”).

Mir willen widder in die helle,

16th century / 1874, Alsfelder Passionsspiel mit Wörterbuch herausgegeben von C. W. M. Grein, p. 13 l. 458f. [note: the text also has mer for 1st person plural nominative]

This pronoun was originally restricted to the accusative case, while simple personal pronouns were used in the dative. Dative use of sich in Middle High German was restricted to northern dialects of Central German. In Early Modern German, a rare dative sir also occurred, formed by analogy with mir, dir. An obstacle to the generalisation of this form was the use of sich in the plural, where there operated the conflicting analogy with the merged accusative/dative forms uns, euch.

2019, Tobias O. Meißner, Evil Miss Universe:

The transgender person also drew his attention, because they showed a fashion taste that was as eccentric as Dominque’s, but Luc met them only twice and therefore could not stay as up-to-date with them as he did with Dominique.

Before learning, in particular through the internet, that other people situated themselves outside of the gender binary, they had used the term trans man for themselves for some time, but later shed this as an inadequate description.

Cognate with Old Saxon ōthar (whence Low German anner), Old Dutch andar (whence Dutch ander), Old Frisian ōther (whence West Frisian oar), Old English ōþer (whence English other), Old Norse annarr (whence Swedish annan, Danish anden, Icelandic annar) and Yiddish אַנדער (ander).

frau

From Frau by making the first letter lower-case. Coined as an alternative to the male-sounding word man (“one”), which is cognate and homophonous with Mann (“adult male”). First used by feminists when writing about women, then occasionally used in general contexts. Compare the pronoun mensch. Compare also the use of she vs he in English to refer to someone whose gender is unknown.

Sie ist selbst dann noch beschissen, wenn frau sie beendet hat.

Wenn frau sich kennt, braucht sie nicht vor sich wegzulaufen.
