Etymology
This word has the same origin as 🇨🇬 demonstrative pronoun : a combination of (cf. 🇨🇬), from, and , from  (also the source of , q.v.). The original meaning was therefore demonstrative — “that very one” — from which came the sense of “same, real, legitimate, exact” and changed morphologically into an adjective. Cognates include 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬,, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. It has also been suggested, on the basis of the dialectal variant, that this word should be compared with 🇨🇬 (dialectal variants , ), which has the same origin as 🇨🇬 (cf. 🇨🇬). It is, however, more likely that the k in the dialectal term has simply been inserted by epenthesis.
