Usage notes
Some people believe that this word was used in the past and then became archaic, but this is not true. Actually, this word has never been in common usage; Zamenhof advised against using 'ci' as early as the Dua Libro de l' Lingvo Internacia, published in 1888. Many Esperantists don't even understand it. Some authors have used 'ci' to portray archaic language, for translations, and for stylistic effects. This usage is criticized by other writers.

(It should also be noted that all of the latter trigger syntactic doubling in a following word, thanks to their original final /k/, while does not.) Maiden proposes instead an origin in Latin, variant of , pointing out that in parts of southern Italy there exists a 1PL pronoun  (cf. also ). Treccani, on the other hand, proposes an origin in Latin, a variant of.
