 * 1) that one, that, the other one, the other

Etymology
There are several theories on the origin of this word. According to some, it has the same origin as :, from , ,  (possibly from , , ), made into a yo-stem and with an extra initial w-.

Others suggest a connection with 🇨🇬 (possibly < < ), from, derived from a possible 🇨🇬.

A more recent suggestion is that results from a compound of an older  and, hence  >. cognate to 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬. cognate to 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬. The feminine forming accordingly  >, pointing to an earlier 🇨🇬, probably formed by analogy with an older 🇨🇬. The dialectal (Pilda 🇨🇬) forms veńìs (masc.), veńei (fem.) lends this theory support, as they appear constructed identically but with cognate Latgalian forms 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬. The declension also bears resemblence to Latgalian and Lithuanian cognates.
