én
From Old Hungarianɛ̄n. Usually considered to continue theProto-Uralic first-person pronoun*minä (compare e.g.Finnishminä), but there is no consensus on how the Hungarian word has developed to its present shape. At least four proposals have been advanced:[1]
The last three options assume that the word was prefixed with*ɛ- at some point, perhaps an intensifying particle, or from the Proto-Uralic pronoun root*e-(“this”) (compareez(“this”)).
Similarly irregular first-person pronouns occur inMansi:Northern Mansiам(am),Southern Mansi[script needed](äm), and even inChuvash:эпӗ(ep̬ĕ) fromProto-Turkic*ben. If these have a similar origin as the Hungarian word, they are the most compatible with the third and fourth explanations.
False cognate ofMalayalamഏൻ(ēṉ).
