Pronoun

Etymology: See more at èyinì, compare with Olukumi ẹnẹ̀, which may suggest a Proto-Yoruba origin. Vowel harmony when interacting with a close vowel converts nị̀ into nì, for example, when compounded with èyí. Etymology templates: {{cog|ulb|ẹnẹ̀}} Olukumi ẹnẹ̀ Head templates: {{head|yo|pronoun|head=nị̀|head2=}} nị̀, {{yo-pos|pronoun|nị̀}} nị̀
