A pictogram (象形) of atrident-like weapon or tool (note the oracle bone script form𢦐).Jao & Zeng (1985, pp. 289–290) conjecture about its similarity to a kind of three-bladed polearm found at archaeological sites. Cf.戈 (“polearm”), which is the same weapon but with a single blade instead of three. It was already borrowed for sound as an instance of jiajie (假借) for the pronoun我 (OC*ŋaːlʔ, “I”) since the oracle bone script.

Guo Moruo considers it to be the original character for錡 (OC*ɡral, “a kind of waraxe with three blades or teeth”).

Folk etymology considers it to be an ideograph of ahand (手) holding aweapon (戈) to protectoneself.

Etymology

[edit]

FromProto-Sino-Tibetan*ŋa. Cognate with吾 (OC*ŋaː),Burmeseငါ(nga,“I”),Hakka𠊎(ngài). The expected Mandarin pronunciation isě (now only found in a few Northern dialects);wǒ is "a col[loquial] archaism" (Schuessler, 2007).

Schuessler further decomposes 我*ŋâiʔ (his reconstruction) into*ŋa +*i, which he terms an "independent suffix" which also appears in some Tibeto-Burman cognates of this pronoun. DeLancey and Benedict believe that the*-i here was an "information structure marker". But given how Sagart believes 我 was originally plural (Sagart 1999:142) and DeLancey discovered that first-person plural compounds of*ŋa(“I”) and*i(“we”) exist in e.g. Raji and Stau, it is also possible that the-iʔ element is actually*i(“we”) fused onto the singular.
