Comments: ССЕ 288. Werner 2, 294 (separates Ket-Yug *tu- from tɔʔn 'thus, so' and from the Arin and Pump. forms - which I think is hardly justified).

Proto-Nakh: *da-
Proto-Avaro-Andian: *dV-
Proto-Tsezian: *dV
Proto-Lezghian: *dV
Proto-Khinalug: du
Proto-West Caucasian: *da
Notes: One of several common NC deictic stems. The original meaning of *dV seems to be "that" with neutral space status (on the same level as the speaker). Cf. also Khin. t:ʷa (with emphatic tenseness) 'there (on the same level as the speaker)'.

    Because of the clearcut opposition in PL (*dV - *tV) we must distinguish this root from PEC *tV q.v.

    See Trubetzkoy 1930, 274 (comparing also Av. =aṭá 'other, separate' - which hardly belongs here); Abdokov 1983, 138.

Meaning: demonstrative pronoun stem
Chechen: dʕā
Ingush: dʕa
Batsbi: da-ħ
Comments: The actual stem da- is clearly seen in Bacb. da-χeʔ "because of that", da-ħ, da-ħa "there". The Chech.-Ing. form dʕā is a contraction from *da-ħa; it served as a basis for the now common demonstrative pronoun dʕā-ra "that".

Comment: The original meaning seems to be 'that (on the same level as the speaker)', preserved in Tabasaran (where it is opposed to tu-mu q.v.); in most other languages the stem is used in compounds with other deictic stems.

    Lezg. and Ud. reflect a glottalised variant *ṭV (probably expressive and secondary).

North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: a demonstrative stem
Abkhaz: -da
Abaza: -da
Adyghe: -da
Kabardian: -da
Ubykh: (aj)-da
Comments: Dumézil (1932, 120) relates Ub. -da in aj-da 'that, another' (cf. also -da- in mā-da-ḳ́a 'where') to Abkh. -da in á-la-da 'down', á-ʕʷa-da 'above' ( < PAT *-da, cf. Abaz. ʕʷa-da 'ascent, climbing'). While this may be true, we would also adduce the AT pronominal (agentive) prefixes of the 3d person singular and plural (*dǝ- > Abkh., Abaz. d(ǝ)-) and probably also the 3d person plural pronoun *da-ra 'they' (Abkh. da-rá, Abaz. da-ra).

    In AK the stem is preserved in *a-dá 'there' (Ad., Kab. āda); cf. also Ad. tǝ-da 'where' and the PAK locative preverb *da- (Ad., Kab. da-). See Шагиров 1, 57.

Character:
Modern (Beijing) reading: zhī
Preclassic Old Chinese:
Classic Old Chinese:
Western Han Chinese:
Eastern Han Chinese: ćǝ
Early Postclassic Chinese: ćɨ
Middle Postclassic Chinese: ćɨ
Late Postclassic Chinese: ćɨ
Middle Chinese: ćɨ
English meaning : This; he, she, it, they, them. The basic meaning of the character is 'to go, proceed' (reflected as 'to go out' in the Shuowen gloss, but occurring in texts only with the normal meaning 'to go, proceed'); the use of 之 for a pronoun is secondary, due to homonymy.
Russian meaning[s]: 1) его, их, это, этих (после сказуемого служебный показатель объекта в вэньяне); часто не обозначает никакого конкретного объекта и служит лишь показателем переходности действия; 2) служебное слово между определением и определяемым, формант обособленного определения; 3) в придаточных (членных) предложениях ставится после подлежащего и служит показателем несамостоятельного характера предложения; 4) предшествует концовкам обстоятельств места и времени; 5) древняя эвфоническая частица без значения; 6) древн. этот; сей; его; 7) древн. или; 8) древн. отправиться; поехать; доехать, достичь; распространиться; перейти к...; что касается, вм.
Shuowen gloss: 出也.象草過え.枝莖漸益大.有所之也.一者地也.
Comments: The word is used normally either as an object pronoun ('him','her', etc.), or as a marker of possession or attribution (as in Shi 1,1) - probably reflecting different usages of a single original morpheme. Sometimes it also occurs as a demonstrative attribute 'this' - but Schüssler is probably right in thinking that in such cases it is actually written instead of the demonstrative 時 *dǝ (which, just as 是 *deʔ 'this', is also etymologically related).
