Glyph origin[edit]

Phono-semantic compound (形聲／形声) : semantic 亻 + phonetic 巨 (OC *ɡaʔ).

Etymology[edit]

From the initial *k-series of Old Chinese third-person pronouns, cognate with 其 (OC *ɡɯ). Also compare Proto-Mon-Khmer *ge(e)ʔ, whence Khmer គេ (kei, “they; he; she”) (Schuessler, 2007).

In standard Cantonese, the tone has assimilated with the other personal pronouns: 我 (ngo5), 你 (nei5) (Chan, 1998).

Before the use of 佢, 渠 was also used in some novels and newspapers, such as 老婆奴續編／老婆奴续编 (1926). The character 渠 is still preferred in lects such as Wu and sometimes Gan.

Pronunciation[edit]

Note: heoi5 - nonstandard, chiefly Hong Kong.
