• As a pronoun referring to people who are grammatically neutral, it is sometimes considered old-fashioned or dated to insist on using the neutrales instead ofer/sie, especially forMädchen, in spoken language, and when there is a large distance between when the person is introduced and when the corresponding pronoun is used.
• In a small and closed set of phrases,es continues a Middle High Germanës which was the genitive ofëz:Ich bines müde ‘I am tiredof it’.
• In the colloquial speech of some areas, this pronoun is fully replaced with the demonstrative pronoundas, with which it shares the unstressed reduction /s/. This reflects a similar development forsie/die, but predates it.

FromProto-Balto-Slavic*ēź-, fromProto-Indo-European*eǵ (from*éǵh₂). The non-nominative forms derive fromProto-Indo-European dependent stem*me- (thea instead ofe in the Baltic languages appears to result from Iranian influence): reduplicated*me-me- →*mene →Proto-Baltic genitive/accusative*mane →*manen (by analogy with other accusatives) →*manens (by analogy with other genitives) → genitivemanis, while*manen → accusativemani. Dativeman comes from an older*mani. Instrumental variantmanim imitates the nominali-stem paradigm.
