"cinä" meaning in Proto-Finnic

See cinä in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Pronoun

Etymology: From Proto-Uralic *tinä. The exact development of the nominative form *cinA and the inflected stem *cinu- is unclear. Traditionally, it has been thought that the *-u in oblique forms originates from a dual inflection, which has otherwise been lost (compare the Proto-Samic second-person dual pronoun *tonōj). More recently, however, this has been questioned. Kallio (2021) points out that in South Estonian (including Võro), the nominative vowel is in fact a back vowel *a, unlike in most other Finnic languages where it is *ä, and the inflection stem vowel is *-o- instead of *-u-. He considers *-u- primary, but doesn't leave out the possibility that *a is primary, or that the original form may have even been *cin. This ties in to wider discussion about the exact form this pronoun had in Proto-Uralic as well.

  "etymology_text": "From Proto-Uralic *tinä.\nThe exact development of the nominative form *cinA and the inflected stem *cinu- is unclear. Traditionally, it has been thought that the *-u in oblique forms originates from a dual inflection, which has otherwise been lost (compare the Proto-Samic second-person dual pronoun *tonōj). More recently, however, this has been questioned. Kallio (2021) points out that in South Estonian (including Võro), the nominative vowel is in fact a back vowel *a, unlike in most other Finnic languages where it is *ä, and the inflection stem vowel is *-o- instead of *-u-. He considers *-u- primary, but doesn't leave out the possibility that *a is primary, or that the original form may have even been *cin. This ties in to wider discussion about the exact form this pronoun had in Proto-Uralic as well.",
